As workflows and business processes are disrupted, many commercial and residential construction sites in Europe and Asia have been temporarily suspended.

#IndustryInsight It is no secret that technology continues to disrupt industries across the world but its dominant presence in construction has yet to be established Exoskeletons are used to protect a workers muscles and joints while lifting heavy or completing repetitive tasks They work as a standard lever using counterweight to lift objects and work at a robotic speed, much faster than a human

Tips on how to make your home more energy efficient We have put together a shortlist of different ways you can make your home more eco-friendly while increasing savings Additional tips... Sealing cracks, gaps, leaks, and adding insulation can save up to 10% on home heating and cooling costs. Using dishwashers and clothes washers/dryers at night will keep the house cooler, reduce strain on the power grid during the peak usage hours of 4 PM and 6 PM and reduce the chance of an emergency! Turn off the lights when they're not in use. Lighting accounts for about 12% of a typical residential utility bill.

An interesting article that highlights the efficiency and environmental benefits of prefabricated construction. The automobile industry was the first to fully adapt this technology and since then, aerospace and consumer electronic products have followed suit. The potential of prefabrication technology poises a significant impact on the future of developing ecofriendly and affordable housing

#FutureofConstruction It is important to be aware of industry changes and external factors that indicate the direction of an industry for the purpose of adapting to these changes The Canadian construction industry employs more than 1.2 million men and women each year and contributes to 7% of our national GDP. Historically, the sensitivity of the construction industry to changes in economic conditions such as employment and housing is greater but technology has yet to obtain a significant presence 3 basic factors listed below poise future alterations in trends that the construction industry in Canada can expect to see

Have you heard of Zillow.com ? The American Real Estate Database company recently expanded their operations into the Canadian market. They allow for brokers, construction builders, real estate agents, and lenders to connect with consumers in their area and advertise their projects and listings at a reduced market cost.

#TipsForHomeConstruction4 When planning your home's layout, think not only about your current lifestyle but also plan for a few years down the road. For older adults, a master bedroom on the ground floor is a smart bet. Also, including a shaft that could one day be an elevator is a good idea. The space could be used as closets now and easily converted to an elevator should the need arise.

#HomeConstructionTip3 Fill your home with technology that will stand the test of time. State-of-the-art features are great but quickly become outdated. Buy products that have been on the market for a year or two. They're less expensive, readily available and any initial kinks and design flaws have been worked out.

Nice little garage new build. After concrete was poured, we got this garage finished in 4 days! #BauConCanada #NewConstruction #Dewalt #Niagara

#HomeConstructionTip2 Have a lawyer review the contract with your builder. Building a home is a major investment and it's important to make sure all of your bases are covered. A small lawyer fee up-front could save you thousands of dollars should something go wrong during construction

#HomeConstructionTip1 Before hiring a builder, drive past their previous jobs and speak to the homeowners. Ask if the builder had good follow-through, whether the job was completed on schedule and on budget and if they were pleased with the quality of work. Also, check the builder's relationships with subcontractors and supply houses essentially find out if they pay their bills. A builder who is behind in payments will most likely encounter delays in receiving materials and have a hard time keeping a quality crew.

#TipsforHomeConstruction Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting the reasons behind each of these tips. It is important to ensure that the proper protocol is taken when building your home to limit your liability and increase your satisfaction

Regardless of political views, it is great to see parties proposing plans to make homes more energy efficient to fight the climate change crisis we are currently facing. Initiating a tax credit for high-quality insulation, high-efficiency furnaces, replacing doors and windows, and installing solar panels is a great way to incentivize homeowners to look at environmentally friendly solutions for their renovations

Over the past two days, CanBIM hosted a conference in Toronto to discuss the rising issue of affordable housing in Southern Ontario, specifically the GTA. Building Information Modelling (BIM) software enables large-scale construction companies to efficiently plan, design, and construct infrastructure and buildings. CanBIM believes this technology can be applied at a micro-level, assisting contractors in the process of building affordable housing solutions.

#RenovationResaleTip6 Entry Door Replacement You will recoup nearly 75 percent of your cost by replacing your main entry door with a 20-gauge steel door, complete with clear dual-pane half-glass panel, jambs and an aluminum threshold with composite stop. These doors come factory finished with the same color on the front and back sides. This is the end of our #RenovationResaleTip campaign - Stay tuned for our next campaign launching late next week

#RenovationResaleTip5 Siding Replacement Old, dilapidated siding can make even the nicest house look worn-out. For the average home, replacing 1,250 square feet of old siding will cost you just over $16,000 and you’ll get back roughly three-quarters of that investment upon resale. This upgrade includes the factory trim at the openings and corners.
