First of all, we are talking about BUILDINGS and not façades or any other part of the building that happens to have an important architectural feature. Obviously, the façade is the most prominent part of any building and the portion that usually receives more attributes, but nevertheless, a building is a building and not 20% of it. For those who are not familiar with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards, I

BAMBOO IN ARCHITECTURE ABSTRACT Bamboo has found use in extensive fields ranging from medicine to cooking to furniture making and most importantly in construction. The advantage of using bamboo is the easy availability of the material especially in India. The use of bamboo as a structural construction material is also gaining popularity primarily because it is a rapidly growing material which makes it sustainable. It has many positive engineering attributes such as its high strength and durability

In the world of real estate and development, exactly what is dual occupancy? As the name suggests, dual occupancy homes are two houses built on the same piece of land that can be subdivided into two plots of land. It refers to constructing a second building or house on the same plot of land as a previously existing one, or knocking down the building and constructing two structures where the first one used to be. These structures can be freestanding or joined to each other. This method of construction

Within the construction industry, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is beginning to take jobsites by storm. If someone were to walk onto a jobsite today, someone in that location would be using AI. Current uses of AI today span from mobile technology that supervision uses to man a jobsite to an actual robot pouring concrete or welding a pipe. With the technology improvements being made daily, there will be a day few people will consist of the workforce on the job, and the rest will be some sort of robotics

Executive Summery 1 The introduction of BIM into NZ’s construction industry has been identified as one of the key strategies to improve the industry’s productivity. However, merely introducing BIM without regard to a range of contextual issues will have little effect. It is the successful application of BIM that will create change in the industry. This paper seeks to facilitate the successful application of BIM in NZ by providing practical guidance to ensure the relevance of standard forms of contract

Construction industry is one of the oldest economy of the world and it use 40% of the resources which are taken out of the earth every year. Since ancient time wood has been one of the most widely used construction material which is only second to stone. Being a natural resource makes wood one of the most economical construction material also from a perspective of environment wood construction is eco-friendlier. Using wood for construction has two major climatic and environment effect. Firstly, material

When thinking about the big picture of a construction project and what all goes into the development of a construction project, the environment is a big factor. There are many different regulating associations such as the USGB (United States Green Building Council), BMRA (Building Material Reuse Association), AEES (The American Ecological Engineering Society), and many more that give and set good examples. Hong Kong has found a way to measure construction waste and develop a way to reuse a prominent

3d concrete printing with sustainability Abstract: 3D printing is unprecedented innovation that promises to be extremely valuable as manufacturing technology with a very various user. 3D concrete printing is an innovation of erection process that will provide significant progress in construction industry. Construction execution is evolving frequently due to growing challenge and complication in projects, which require efficient, safe, and fast method to deliver their project. The 3D concrete printing

five years to 2015. Over the five-year period, both consumers and businesses became more confident about their finances and spent freely on luxuries, including travel. This culminated in a substantial increase in travel rates and hotel room and occupancy rates, two indicators of a hotel 's performance.
