Build­ing a house in Cal­i­for­nia offers unique chal­lenges and oppor­tu­ni­ties due to its diverse cli­mate, geog­ra­phy, and strin­gent build­ing reg­u­la­tions. This arti­cle explores the spe­cif­ic fac­tors influ­enc­ing con­struc­tion time­lines in Cal­i­for­nia.

Wood has been a sta­ple in con­struc­tion for cen­turies. From the hum­ble log cab­in to the tow­er­ing sky­scrap­ers of mod­ern metrop­o­lis­es, wood always seems to find its place in con­struc­tion.

Our par­ent com­pa­ny, Air­lite Plas­tics, cre­ates plas­tic prod­ucts for a vari­ety of appli­ca­tions – so we have a con­stant sup­ply of first-gen­er­a­tion recy­cled mate­r­i­al. And since it’s right here in our facil­i­ties, we work toward the small­est car­bon foot­print pos­si­ble.

The NRM­CA is a mem­ber­ship orga­ni­za­tion for the con­crete indus­try and is a lead­ing indus­try advo­cate that pro­vides infor­ma­tion and updates to its mem­bers about the lat­est tech­niques, mate­ri­als and tech­nolo­gies.

The envi­ron­men­tal impact of build­ings is a key con­cern in mod­ern con­struc­tion, focus­ing on reduc­ing car­bon emis­sions. A clear under­stand­ing of embod­ied and oper­a­tional car­bon, along with their dif­fer­ences, is essen­tial for sus­tain­able con­struc­tion strate­gies.

We’ve com­piled a list of zero-ener­gy homes that incor­po­rate sus­tain­able con­struc­tion into the build­ing process. The results are 5 facil­i­ties that prove zero net ener­gy can be achieved with care­ful plan­ning and appro­pri­ate imple­men­ta­tion.
