Lumber
Wood has a unique appeal to people because we want to be surrounded by it. The video describes the process and procedure of the lumberyard. The different types of wood and its characteristics are discussed to great detail – the various uses and the history of wood. Very interesting the video can be watched on the following link.
Can construction Speed Up?
BROAD Group is an enterprise based on the vision of unique technologies and the tenet of preserving life. All BROAD products and services have essentially optimized human life and the environment of the earth. Broad consistently dedicates itself to environmental protection, energy conservation and providing the highest quality service. BROAD Group is headquartered in Changsha, China. Products have already covered more than 70 countries. BROAD Energy Efficiency Company, a division of BROAD Air Conditioning Ltd., Company, was established in June of 2008, and focuses on Energy, Efficient Building research as well as providing the complete set of Energy Efficient Insulation, Air Conditioning and Ventilation System Plan Design, Construction, Acceptance and other services.
I was really impressed to find learn of BROAD capabilities. After reviewing the video, it is apparent and believable that they built a 30-story building in 15 days. Prior to visiting their website, I would’ve thought it was impossible. I would encourage all to take a look at the website if you have a real interest in efficient buildings.
Modular Residential Construction, is this the future?
Modular homes are often assembled using factory constructed modules that have been built in a controlled environment. These systems offer builders numerous advantages in residential building. Today they are built to meet and exceed the building codes and standards of conventional construction. The difference is that it takes place in an indoor environment where the building material are protected from weather related. Because of the efficient protected used of building material, the modular system gets good grads for many green categories through the NAHB National Green Building Program. They score additional points just for being modular. They can reduce material waste, less noise, traffic and sold damage. The builder benefits with reduction in their overhead costs. This means they’ll produce a better bottom line with fewer employees, less equipment and less reliance on subcontractors. Modular building strategy outsources about 90% of the home construction. This saves time and money. Modular homes can be as customized as any builder or buyer would like. Modular is a win win for the buyer. Watching this video has definitely peaked my interest in modular building. I plan to research this future as a potential route for building my home. www.nahb.org/modular
Modular explained
Modular construction appears to be more popular than I realized due to quality and consistency. Modular is an innovative home building process that allows you to build homes faster and more profitably, and with less risk. Modular manufacturers are set up like most manufacturing facilities with an assembly line. These centers are designed to build efficient homes. Every step is closely monitored for quality. Genesis modular can also build just about any type of home you can imagine. Mike Lankford, builder/developer, chose genesis because of consistency and quality. He further states that in conventional construction, the quality depends on the crew and since different crews build different homes, the quality varies along with other things. Using genesis will ensure that the quality is the same. You will not be subject to vandalism, theft, weather damage and pests. Other benefits to this process includes minimizing your financial risk. It would be interest in taking a tour at the plant to see this innovative process. http://www.genesishomes.com/
