Excellent tall-timber comparative cost analysis. Does #masstimber really pan out on a straight line ROI comparison for multi-residential towers?

This article explores the role of Engineered Wood Products (EWPs) like CLT, glulam, and LVL in modern construction. It highlights the different types of engineered wood products, their structural benefits, and applications while addressing key challenges. 👉 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dN5DXsV6 #EngineeredWood #SustainableConstruction #TimberEngineering

Those seeking to design and build mass timber buildings in Michigan will soon have more options – including the ability to go up to 18 stories – with the recent adoption of the 2021 Michigan Building Code, scheduled to take effect on April 9, 2025. Michigan is currently operating under the 2015 Building Code, the first version to allow for the use of cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels in commercial construction. The incoming 2021 Michigan Building Code (Rule Set #: 2022-57 LR; Title: Construction Code - Part 4. Building Code), based on the 2021 International Building Code, includes three new mass timber building types – Type IV-A, Type IV-B, and Type IV-C, allowing for mass timber structures up to 19, 12, and 9 stories, respectively. Type IV-HT (just Type IV in the 2015 code) pertains to heavy timber structures.[1] https://lnkd.in/e3JM4X3Y

What are your signs of progress? A construction site should be nosy and busy. Foundations are poured, framing is added, drywall and paint are applied. Your business should be the same. Where in your business do you see signs of progress? Show them to yourself and others. Celebrate them! Keep yourself encouraged and your team aligned to the vision. #SignsOfProgress #BusinessGrowth #Encouragement https://loom.ly/R7NHg9o

🏗️ What is ICF in construction? ICF, or insulated concrete forms, are premade blocks with foam insulation that fit together like Legos. They offer strong insulation and energy efficiency, making them perfect for residential homes and basements.

Have you ever considered ICF but then decided to go with the build system you already know? Maybe it’s time to choose an alternative option. One advantage (amongst many) of building with an insulated solid wall construction method like ICF is that the blocks are incredibly light. You can easily move them around the site by hand! Something to think about! #ICF #SpeedOfBuild #SiteSafety https://lnkd.in/d4Xj96Tk
