🔨🏗️ **The Art of Wood Framing in Podium Construction** Ever wondered how multifamily buildings are constructed? It’s all about combining durability with efficiency! Here’s a glimpse into the wood framing process: 1. **Foundation & Podium Deck:** It starts with a concrete foundation and a sturdy podium deck, often made of concrete or steel. This forms the base for the wood framing above. 2. **Structural Framing:** Next comes the wooden framework, rising from the podium. This includes walls, floors, and roof systems, meticulously aligned and secured. 3. **Precision Engineering:** Engineers ensure every piece fits perfectly, using advanced tools and techniques to maintain structural integrity. 4. **Speed & Sustainability:** Wood framing is not only faster but also a more sustainable choice, reducing carbon footprints while ensuring robust construction. 5. **Finishing Touches:** Once the frame is up, it’s time for insulation, drywall, and all the elements that transform a frame into a comfortable living space. This includes mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) components, which match the speed in trail of the framing process Wood framing in podium buildings exemplifies the blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering, creating resilient, eco-friendly, and efficient multifamily homes for the community. 🌳🏢 #ConstructionLife #PodiumBuildings #WoodFraming #SustainableBuilding #fassberg #construction #multifamily #building #buildinglosangeles #realestate #realestatedevelopment #builders

STAGES OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION 🏗️🧱🏠 Let me take you through the journey of a building's construction and why, as a Homebuyer , you should be aware of it. The very first step that a developer needs to initiate is to get the plans ready and submit for approvals from the local governing authority once they receive the approvals and commencement certificate. Start with the construction work. The first stage involves clearing the side and levelling the ground, followed by the excavation process and the piling work to create a strong foundation. Next, the foundation is laid, followed by a plinth , which is the first slab above the base structure after the plinth is done, columns and slabs are added for each floor until the last slab, which is known as the Terrace slab. now with the slabs in place, brick work begins, followed by the exterior plastering and painting, and once the exterior work is done, the interior work like plumbing, tiling electrical work and painting takes place and now once the final structure Is ready, the builder applies for the necessary permits and approvals from the local governing authority, and once the builder receives the occupancy certificate, the building becomes ready for occupancy, now here is a quick inside the maximum time taken in the construction process is to get the structure ready up till the plinth slab post which the construction is usually faster so if you buying a property in an under construction project, you should be aware of the construction process so that you can manage your finances accordingly, do share this video with someone who's recently bought a property in an underconstruction project and if you have any queries, Put them in the comments box. #punecity #punerealestate #premiumhomes #luxurioushouse #luxuryliving #spacioushome

Hey there, Let’s talk about one of the most critical components of any building project: The Ground Floor Slab. 🏠💼 But before we dive into the nitty-gritty details, let’s set the scene. 🎬 Imagine you’re standing on the empty lot where your dream home is going to be built. You can see the foundation walls rising from the ground, and the anticipation is building. 🏰💪 Now, let’s talk about the ground floor slab. 🌳🏗️ What is it, you ask? Well, simply put, it’s the foundation of your home’s foundation! 😱 It’s the flat surface that spreads the weight of your home evenly across the ground, providing a stable base for the rest of the structure. 💪🏽 But why is it so important? 🤔 Without a proper ground floor slab, your home could experience structural issues, like uneven floors, cracks, and even collapse. 😨 It’s a crucial element that ensures the longevity and stability of your home. 🏠👥 Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty details. 🔧 The ground floor slab is typically made of concrete, and its thickness depends on the size and weight of your home. The slab is poured on grade, meaning it’s placed directly on the ground, and it’s reinforced with steel rebar to add strength. 💪🏼 But wait, there’s more! 🤔 The ground floor slab also serves as a base for other essential elements like plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems. 🚧💧💻 It’s like the foundation of your home’s foundation! 😱 In conclusion, the ground floor slab is a critical component of any building project. 🏠💼 It provides stability, ensures longevity, and is the foundation of your home’s foundation. 💪🏽 So, the next time you’re building a home, remember the importance of a proper ground floor slab. 🏠👥 👏📸 If you have any questions or comments, feel free to drop them below. 💬👍 #groundfloorslab #construction #building #foundation #hombuilding #homeconstruction #buildingfoundation #homesweethome

Enhancing #Condo Living: The Power of Educated Choices in #Acoustic #Underlayment In the bustling environments of #residentialbuildings, particularly condominiums, #noise can be a significant source of discomfort and complaint. It's crucial for #managers and boards to realize that solutions and educational resources are readily available to address these issues effectively. However, a common hurdle is the lack of knowledge on how to approve the right #acousticunderlayments that are tested specifically for their #building’s construction type. Adjusting #CondoRules for Better #NoiseManagement: The starting point is to revisit and possibly revise your #condominium's #flooring replacement rules. Clear and comprehensive guidelines are essential, especially for buildings with specific construction features. For example, many #highrise #condos feature an 8" or 6” concrete floor and ceiling assembly #WITHOUT suspended ceilings. It's advisable to implement rules such as: "The Corporation requires that any floor replacement must include a noise reduction system (acoustical membrane) tested for high-rise concrete buildings. The minimum standard at The Corporation is a flooring installation with an acoustic rating of FIIC/ IIC 70, specifically tested over an 8” concrete slab with #NO suspended ceiling." Streamlined Steps for Effective #NoiseReduction: 1. Request the acoustic test report: Residents and contractors should be required to submit the independent test report before approval is granted. 2. Invoice – Proof of Purchase: Ensure that residents provide proof of purchase, which helps verify that the correct specifications have been met. These steps not only facilitate a smoother renovation process but also contribute to a more harmonious living environment. Should noise complaints arise, residents and the board can rest assured that preventive measures are in place. It's simple, let's take advantage of the support available and make educated choices that benefit everyone in our residential communities. #propertymanager #propertymanagement #hoa #hoamanager #hoamanagement #strata #stratamanager #stratamanagement #multifamily #multifamilydevelopment #propertydeveloper #propertydevelopment #soundcontrol

BUYING A PROPERTY? 🏡 Knowing its construction type—Solid Wall, Cavity Wall, or Timber Frame—can influence insulation, energy efficiency, and future renovations. The good news? You don’t always need an expert; a simple visual inspection can reveal a lot! 🔍 ✅ Solid Walls: •Look for alternating brick patterns •Often found in homes pre-1920s, these walls are thinner (~220mm). •Older Homes especially those built before the 1920s are more likely to be solid brick ✅ Cavity Walls: •Bricks laid with long sides (stretchers) only. •Spot weep holes near the base for moisture drainage. •Thicker walls (~250mm, including cavity). ✅ Timber Frames: •External cladding may have vertical gaps (perpends) for ventilation. •Hollow sounds or flexibility in walls can be a clue. •Inspect loft areas or sockets for visible timber structures. For more details, our full guide will help you to spot these construction types with ease!
