The first notable use of steel in the construction of skyscrapers can be attributed to the Home Insurance Building in Chicago, completed in 1885. While the statement mentions 1883, the actual construction and completion of the Home Insurance Building occurred in 1885. The use of a steel frame in this building marked a significant development in architectural history, allowing for taller and more robust structures compared to traditional construction methods. The architect responsible for this innovation was William Le Baron Jenney, who employed a steel skeleton frame instead of traditional load-bearing walls. This steel frame supported the building's weight, enabling it to rise to a height of 10 stories. This approach laid the foundation for the future construction of skyscrapers, as it provided a structural solution that could support the increased vertical loads associated with tall buildings. #steel #structure

If you live in a Florida Condo that has not begun the SIRS / Milestone process, or would like a second opinion, please consider Stone Building Solutions https://lnkd.in/g6NyQ9AM Helpful Reminders SIRS is required to be completed, for your COA, prior to 12/31/24, The SIRS will drive the 8 “line items” (listed below) that will need to be appropriately funded, Assuming we finalize our 2025 budget prior to 12/31/24, our understanding is that we’d need to fully fund what comes out of the SIRS in our 2026 Budget Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) If your condominium is 3 stories or more, regardless of age, you must complete a SIRS by December 2024; and every 10 years thereafter. Different from a Traditional Reserve Study, a SIRS is a reserve study in which you are mandated to fund by Jan 1, 2026. This study must be performed by a licensed engineer, architect or reserve specialist (RS) - Stone gives both on every report, because we feel one without the other is incomplete! The Structural Integrity Reserve Study is solely focused on 8 structural building components, to ensure every Florida condominium has a financial plan for the following items: Roof Load Bearing Walls or other primary structural members. Fireproofing and fire protection systems. Plumbing of Common Areas. Electrical Systems of Common Areas Waterproofing and exterior painting. Windows /Doors of common areas. Other elements that have an impact on the structural integrity of the building that are in excess of $10,000.

Timber usage in construction in the UK may be on the rise, but it's taken a while for UK builders to embrace it - but, why? Well, there are a few timber frame myths out there that may be the cause of this... Myth 1 - Timber frame is more expensive than other materials 💸 Wrong! According to PBC Today, building with timber frame can cost around 5% less than using masonry, and with less time needed on-site due to timber frame utilising off-site construction, there can also be other savings elsewhere. Myth 2 - Timber frame can't cope under harsh weather conditions 🌪 Scotland has its fair share of unpredictable weather, and with 93% of new homes being built using timber frame, it's no surprise this is a myth! Timber has excellent natural thermal properties, making it a perfect material for buildings in remote locations, and with additional flexibility as a material, it is particularly well suited to exposed locations where cracking may occur. Myth 3 - TImber frame is prone to rot 🪵 Another myth! All timber used in construction is treated in controlled conditions protecting it against rot and other fungal attacks, alongside ensuring structural stability and durability. Timber frame has a range of benefits that make it the must-have for construction in 2024. Want to find out more?

This is a common question among first time home buyers or out of town buyers. Most times in different climates the foundation will vary, or even the structure being built. Here is a quick run-down: ICF Foundations (Insulated Concrete Forms): Construction: Forms made of insulating materials filled with concrete. Benefits: High energy efficiency, strong and durable, good sound insulation. Concrete Foundations: Construction: Traditional foundation using poured concrete. Benefits: Very strong and durable, good for heavy loads, low maintenance. PWF Foundations (Permanent Wood Foundations): Construction: Pressure-treated wood used for foundation walls. Benefits: Faster and easier to install, flexible in cold climates, good thermal insulation. PWF foundations are also engineered & inspected at time construction.
