Innovations in Exterior Wall Construction: What You Need to Know
For gen­er­a­tions, the con­struc­tion of exte­ri­or walls has fol­lowed tra­di­tion­al prac­tices that have pri­mar­i­ly involved wood or steel fram­ing. These meth­ods have been the back­bone of res­i­den­tial and light com­mer­cial con­struc­tion, by pro­vid­ing shel­ter, sta­bil­i­ty, and a cer­tain lev­el of insu­la­tion.

Build to Resist Tornadoes: Storm Safe ICF Structures
Research by Texas Tech Wind Sci­ence and Engi­neer­ing Research Cen­ter has demon­strat­ed that ICF walls bet­ter pro­tect occu­pants of hous­es from wind­blown debris, than frame walls. Being hit by wind­blown debris is the most com­mon cause of injury dur­ing tor­na­does.

How Much Does It Cost to Build a 5,000 Sq Ft Warehouse?
Every ware­house begins with a num­ber, the cost per square foot that sets expec­ta­tions for design and deliv­ery. The cost to build a 5000 sq ft ware­house isn’t fixed; it shifts with site con­di­tions, mate­r­i­al choic­es, and ener­gy goals.

Building Maintenance Management 101
Prop­er­ty man­agers are real­iz­ing the cru­cial role of thor­ough build­ing main­te­nance in pro­tect­ing prop­er­ty val­ue, func­tion­al­i­ty, and safe­ty. This arti­cle explores the essen­tial com­po­nents of build­ing main­te­nance man­age­ment and empha­sizes the impor­tance of using inno­v­a­tive build­ing solu­tions for sus­tain­able, safe, and well-main­tained prop­er­ties.
