Pane Gains
Much of the discussion about energy efficiency in commercial and residential buildings focuses on heating and cooling systems.

Keeping Asbestos
Asbestos, a mineral present in certain types of rocks, was widely used in buildings and consumer products starting in the 1800s.

Pressure Test
As you admire the expansive view or plush furnishings from the highest reaches of a commercial, residential or other type of building, it’s easy to take some things for granted – such as the system that distributes water for drinking, removing waste and suppressing fire.

Preserving History
During construction of an office building, apartment building, highway, water project, cell phone tower or other development, builders have to think about more than materials, project milestones and building codes.

Having a Blast
Before a majestic skyscraper, sleek office building or sturdy apartment complex takes its place on a city’s skyline, a structure currently occupying the space might have to be cleared out.

House Rules
“So many new developments are under construction, they are likely to compete with each other – and not just for residents.

Materials Volatility
Why have housing prices risen so dramatically lately? The answer begins with a huge uptick in demand driven by rising housing starts – seasonally adjusted single family housing starts in December 2020 hit their highest level since 2006 – along with low mortgage interest rates.

Building Better
Bricks are a burden. For more than 5,000 years, we’ve used the same inefficient, environmentally destructive products to build homes, businesses and institutions. Their cumulative effects left landscapes barren, air polluted and contributed to warmer climates. Innovation is in place for smarter bricks—if the industry is ready to get onboard. The life of bad bricks […]
