𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭 𝐓𝐢𝐩𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐃𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 Today on The Build Review, we're taking you on a tour of a basement project in Austin, Texas. Our host, Matt Risinger, a builder experienced in unconventional projects, invites architect Steve for an in-depth review of this unique construction. In the video, they discuss the challenges of building in Austin’s rocky terrain, the importance of natural light in basements, and the use of a large sliding glass door for illumination. They also cover design details like a home exercise room and a concrete sill pan. Practical aspects of basement construction such as drainage systems, rust prevention with fiberglass ties, and the concept of ‘aging in place’ are also highlighted, with the installation of an elevator for the homeowner's long-term convenience being a key feature. While basements can be costly and slow to construct, and can sometimes lead to maintenance issues, careful planning and a meticulous approach can mitigate these concerns. #Construction #BuildingTips #Basements #HouseBuilds #Design

An innovative building skin system that can reduce exterior construction times by as much as 33% is available from Building Composites. HyperWall™ uses structural composite panels combined with pre-installed glazing to allow fast installation and quicken building completion times. https://lnkd.in/gAzVug25 #cladding #compositepanels #building

It takes skill to work with so many different materials! Cladding often strongly influences the insulation, structural maintenance, and aesthetic of a building. #BuildID #construction #skilledtrades #cladding #cladder

Do you have a machine shed that could use a facelift? Building recovers are the perfect option for saving time and money; a couple things we all could use more of! A 26-gauge Kynar painted metal will typically last on average 40 years with minimal fade with a 29-gauge SMP painted metal being substantially shorter. Typical building recovers are completed in a quick and timely manner and can reduce project costs by as much as one to two-thirds vs. new construction!

Hey Tina, What’s love got to do with this? Absolutely everything, if you’re talking about modular construction with cold-formed steel. Let me explain. Picture this: You're a regular person, just trying to build a house without losing your mind. Traditional construction methods have you in tears by the end of the first week, and that’s before you’ve even picked out the right shade of “Eggshell White” for your bathroom. Enter modular construction with cold-formed steel. It's like finding true love in the world of building materials. First off, cold-formed steel is strong. It’s like the superhero of building materials. If Captain America were a construction material, he'd be cold-formed steel. This stuff can withstand all sorts of calamities: hurricanes, earthquakes, and even a toddler's relentless quest to color on every wall. Plus, it doesn’t warp, rot, or become a tasty snack for termites. If it were a person, it’d be the kind who shows up early to help you move and never complains. Now, let’s talk modular. In the construction world, modular means you get to assemble your building like it’s a giant LEGO set. You know you’ve always wanted to live in a LEGO house. Modular construction takes the chaos of a traditional building site and replaces it with the satisfying click of pieces snapping perfectly into place. It’s like Marie Kondo visited your construction site and tidied it up. But here’s the real kicker: modular construction with cold-formed steel is fast. Traditional construction is like watching paint dry—literally. Modular construction? It’s like paint that dries itself while you drink your coffee. Wait, all paint does that. Whatever, your building goes up so quickly, you’ll think someone hit fast-forward on reality. It’s like magic, but with fewer rabbits and more structural integrity. So, what’s love got to do with it? Everything. Because once you experience the strength, efficiency, and sheer joy of modular construction with cold-formed steel, you’ll never look back. Your relationship with traditional construction methods will be over faster than you can say “building permit.” #ConstructionLoveStory #ModularMagic #ColdFormedSteel #BuildItBetter #Modular #CFS #ADU #ModularHousing #OffsiteConstruction

I've been thinking... More about the types of projects we perform. I love that we have the ability to perform traditional's like old school—brick and mortar, stick-built framing, wooden frames on site, concrete pouring. It's what we're used to. But modular? Prefab modules, constructing building sections or modules off-site; building wall panels, floor panels, and roof panels off-site, which are then transported and assembled at the construction site. Modular pods—all built off-site, then assembled like Legos on-site, so cool! It's faster, cheaper, and more efficient. Definitely worth considering for quick projects. #traditionalconstruction #modularconstruction #buildinginnovation #constructionmethods #efficiencyinconstruction

“You can use an eraser on the drafting table or a sledgehammer on the construction site.” — Frank Lloyd Wright Preparation is the essential component to success in building. The plans of the build are just one component. The site itself is a canvas that nature can make “difficult to paint”. When you know what you want, but can’t make it happen on your own, that is not the time to throw in the towel. That is exactly the time to hire someone with a towel that looks well-used.   Experience is everything in construction, and when that experience is local to Central Texas, it is even more valuable. Let Mill Creek Custom Homes take over the burden of planning from start to finish with your ideas in hand. The development of an executable vision is so much easier with a true partner. “Welcome to True Custom.” Welcome to MIllCreekHomesTexas.com. #FrankLloydWright #MillCreekHomesTexas #MillCreekCustomHomes #TrueCustom #CentralTexas #CustomHomesTexas #CustomDesign #TrueCustom #architecturalplans

What are Roof Trusses? 🏗 Roof trusses are strong, rigid frames made from wood members and metal plates, designed like triangles. These geometric designs support the roof and roofing materials, just like the principles used in bridge construction. 🌲 #RoofTrussesExplained #StructuralDesign #Engineering #BuildingBlocks
