American vs. Chinese Steel: The Best Price is Not Always the Best Option
By: Maria Martinez
Tags: Chinese Steel, American Steel, Steel Building, Steel, Construction

With Chinese steel being somewhat more affordable in some cases, it might seem wise to invest in some when constructing your building — but this opens you up to a world of liability.

Foreign steel markets like China are trending toward valuing price over safety. Unfortunately, it’s not always obvious that the product you’re buying is 100% made in the U.S.A. Numerous companies go out of their way to cover for the fact that they’re outsourcing resources to China.

Fortunately, there’s an easy way to such practices out. Many companies use third party steel building brokers who don’t actually make the steel. They’re only interested in the lowest price possible, which often means it’s outsourced.

The best way to determine where your steel is coming from is to simply ask the person you’re doing business with if they’re a broker or not.

At Probuilt Steel Buildings, you’ll never get the wrong answer, with high-quality steel straight from the heartland. We never sacrifice quality over safety, all at affordable prices.
Revit Dynamo — Insert Plumbing Sleeves
By: Slava Krel
Tags: Bim, Revit, Plumbing, Dynamo, Construction

After my previous post I’ve decided to make another one on the Plumbing topic. Placing sleeves was one of the biggest issues I struggled with in the past while working on coordination projects. It is pretty time consuming task in general, but it can be even more excruciating when you have to move the pipes around during coordination. Here I wanted to share my approach on how to stream line the sleeve placing process using Dynamo.

Full definition

Preparation

Here I’m using a 3rd party node, so to get this script to work you need to download the latest version of Archi-Lab package. Make sure you have the sleeve family you want to use in your Revit project. I want to give you a little tip here — use a sleeve family that can automatically oriented per the plumbing pipes you are working with.

Let’s build this script and figure out how it works

Step 1. We would normally start with “Categories” node to get all elements of a given Category. But not every Revit file have the same Categories. Why would you want to load all of the MEP Categories into your model. Because models don’t always have the same Categories, the dropdown node, that contains a list of them, doesn’t always display they same items, in the same order if it was opened in a different file. In order to resolve that potential issue here is what we’re going to start with:

Also add Family Types node and find the sleeve family you want to be used.

Step 2. Filtering out “vertical” vs “horizontal” pipes is quite simple — I’m going to check its Slope parameter. If we are dealing with a pipe that has no Slope then we know this pipe is vertical. No custom nodes needed here. If you are new to Dynamo it might be a good idea to save this portion of the script in a separate location. I’m using these five nodes very often.

Step 3. To get Floors from the linked background file we are going to use Select.GetDocuments node. This is a standard procedure except for the Get All Elements From Linked Model node from Archi-Lab package. According to the name, this node allows us to collect all floors from the linked model.

Step 4. Next stop — we are going to intersect Floors and Vertical Pipes.

We want to filter out only Pipes that go through Floors, so we can place a sleeve on them. We can use List.IsEmpty node here, since the result of the Geometry.Intersect will be all Empty List if there was nothing that intersected with our Pipes.

Step 5. Finally we clean up our list of nulls, and empty lists, and get our intersection points as Solid.Centroid. This node give us X, Y, and Z which we are going to use as an insertion point for the sleeves.

To place the sleeve family into the model we are going to use FamilyInstance.ByPoint default node.

Ending

After the script successfully completed you should be able to see the sleeves inserted into the slab as it shown on the picture below.

Thank you for reading. I hope you find this post helpful. Feel free to download the script from my GitHub.
Odor Control System Market Worth $7.6 Billion By 2027
By: Gaurav Shah
Tags: Metal, America, Chemicals, Hvac, Construction

The global odor control system market size is estimated to reach USD 7.6 billion by 2027, expanding at a CAGR of 5.4%, according to a study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The increase in toxic pollutants from end-use industries is anticipated to drive the market. The end-use industries such as power and energy, cement manufacturing, and chemical and petrochemical emit various types of toxic pollutants. Thus, reducing these exhaust gases, which cause malodor in the surrounding environment, is highly necessary. Therefore, odor control systems provide solutions for the treatment of the gases and pollutants and eliminate the malodor in the surrounding.

The activated carbon odor control system is expected to generate significant revenue over the forecast period. It is preferred by the end-use industries owing to its low cost and less power consumption. Moreover, additional benefit such as high efficiency in removing foul smell from the manufacturing facilities is further anticipated to generate the demand.

The power and energy segment dominated the market and accounted for revenue share of more than 26% in 2019. This is attributed to increasing volume of harmful gases coming out from power and energy plants established across the globe. When biogas and fossil fuels are burned in power and energy plants, gases including Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx) get generated. Combination of these gases spreads malodor in the surrounding environment, thereby driving the market.

The market is characterized by intense competition, owing to the presence of a large number of industry participants. Thus, the key players in the market are focusing on developing cost-effective products to gain a competitive edge in the market. The major players operating in the market include Advanced Air Technologies; Catalytic Products International; Durr Systems, Inc.; and Evoqua Water Technologies LLC.

Some thoughts on how technology and the climate crisis are impacting on the real estate sector
By: Enrique Dans
Tags: Climate Change, Real Estate, Airbnb, Natural Disasters, Construction

IMAGE: Mohamed Hassan — Pixabay (CC0)

It’s worth giving some thought as to how key sectors of the economy like construction or real estate are impacted by new technology and the climate emergency, and to what extent these factors will play a role in the next, foreseeable, economic crisis.

In the United States, there is already a growing shortfall of more than seven million affordable homes, especially in the low and very low income bracket, which has been most affected by the pandemic. Furthermore, a good part of the economy depends on more than $1 trillion in mortgages, with repayments now seriously compromised by the pandemic.

In addition to this relatively short-term problem, there is another threat that many people thought was long-term, but that is making itself felt with increasing ferocity: the climate emergency and the war that humanity has unleashed against nature. Throughout this year, the frequency of natural disasters such as hurricanes or fires in many areas of the United States has increased significantly due to climate imbalances — which is why this year’s storms and hurricanes now have names with Greek letters — which, coupled with the progressive rise in sea levels, foreshadows the likely displacement of millions of Americans. An unprecedented mass migration that will undoubtedly put further economic strain on those already hit hard by the pandemic.

However, these factors will not only affect those forced to migrate in search of safer areas and who will require new homes at reasonable prices: in addition, home loans linked to many of the properties that are likely to be destroyed are collateralized in packages that have not taken into account the climate risk, which points to a looming repayments crisis.

Technology plays another interesting role: a large number of properties, especially in city centers, are in the hands of owners who opted for short-term rents through companies like Airbnb. The drop in activity caused by the pandemic led many analysts to talk about recovering these properties for cheaper long-term rentals, a prediction that in the aftermath of the company’s very successful IPO last week is unlikely to materialize.

In some areas, such as California or Seattle, there is talk of significant housing shortfalls, which is leading large technology companies such as Google, Apple or Microsoft to plan their own real estate supply or to allocate funds to housing supply, either to secure properties for their employees or to try to alleviate a crisis resulting from gentrification, which they are largely responsible for. At the same time, the housing market in areas such as San Francisco has cooled as more technology workers move to other areas now that they can work from home, but prices remain largely very high.

A set of short- medium- and long-term effects that presage enormous uncertainty in industries with big impact on the economy. And this is only in the United States. In other countries, things are much worse.

Home Builder Confidence Drops for Month of December
By: Andrew Cartwright
Tags: Real Estate, Home Improvement, Builders, Home Buying, Construction

Photo by Jeriden Villegas on Unsplash

After three months of record highs, the latest reports are indicating that builder confidence in the market for single-family homes is falling.

“The National Association of Home Builders’ monthly confidence index dropped four points to a reading of 86 in December, the trade group said.”

NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz stated, “Builder confidence fell back from historic levels in December, as housing remains a bright spot for a recovering economy.”

Housing demand is facing intense pressure entering 2021, as inventory is reaching record lows. Because of this short supply, builders are faced with rising costs for supplies and building costs.

The NAHB/ Wells Fargo Housing Market Index gauges builder perceptions of current single-family home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as “good,” “fair” or “poor.” Scores are then calculated for an adjusted index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor.

“The issues that have limited housing supply in recent years, including land and material availability and a persistent skilled labor shortage, will continue to place upward pressure on construction costs, “ said Robert Dietz.

Lumber prices surged by 110% according to the National Association of Home Builders, which directly increases the price of new single-family home prices and apartment prices.

Recent vaccine distribution has also reflected a possible increase in interest leaving economists worried about further housing affordability.

Any increase in interest rates will hurt buyers who struggle this year with owning a home.

Dietz explained, “As the economy improves with the deployment of a Covid-19 vaccine, interest rates will increase in 2021, further challenging housing affordability in the face of strong demand for single-family homes.”

Affordability will continue to be an issue as inventory continues to remain slow and as home prices continue to go up.

“According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, the average rate on the popular 30 years fixed mortgage dropped to another record low last week, the 15th record low set so far this year.”

This has allowed people to consider to sell their properties and move into homes more compatible with the recent changes 2020 has brought.

However, as the economy improves economists fear that interest rates will eventually go up causing a stalled housing market.

Realtor.com is stating, “To some extent, this could be a reflection, of buyers growing accustomed to low mortgage rates, meaning that cheap financing is no longer providing the same boost to the market.”

Realtor.com is suggesting that builders are just responding to buyers who are currently not buying homes as much as they previously were.

The housing market continues to become a reflection of the current state of the economy and these latest reports could be a reflection of how the demands are here to stay.

Construction company logo: 30 examples for inspiration
By: Ilya Lavrov
Tags: Bussiness, Logo, Logo Design, Construction, Company

It is hard to imagine a modern company without a logo. Branding is an inalienable part of any business these days. And construction companies are no exception. It is also crucial for them to get a proper logo design.

Why would a construction company need a logo?

Construction company logo creation basics

What should a construction company logo be like? We can single out a few basic points which are to follow here.

Stick with thematic icons

Depictions like structures, building tools, blueprints (etc.) help potential customers to understand what the company deals with.

Pay attention to coloring

It is best to use a maximum of 2 colors for a construction company logo. That will make contents discreet but attractive. Blue, green, black, brown, and orange are totally cool here.

Pick a readable and simplistic font

Handwriting is just inappropriate in a construction company logo. It is also important that lettering would retain legibility even being lessened. An optimal solution here is an upright font with no notches.

Reflect on the advantages of your company

You can do so by properly coloring your logo. For instance, blue symbolizes

predictability and reliability and black stand for stability and high quality.

You can read more about the psychology of colors here.

style, and there mustn’t be a messy abundance of details in a logo too.

Building Bridges
Tags: Unknown, Bias, Bridge, Ideas, Construction

“Man, this will be great”, I think. “Imagine how awesome to get there.”

One day, working on the front, a gust of wind comes up. Wobbling on my construction, I get scared. Fear overcomes me and I run to hide at the center of the platform.

Relieved to have made it back, I’m confused: I was trying to build a bridge! Why is this so difficult? It shouldn’t be that hard.

Why should I build bridges anyway? It’s an unnecessary risk. I’m fine here on my platform. I like it here.

Two days later, the thing in the distance was visible again. I start inspecting the half-bridge I’ve built. “Hmm, maybe I need to redo my foundation. Then I can perhaps move a little further towards my goal.”

Fixing the foundation

I’ll be honest, that’s the part that twirled me around a bit.

Where does this foundation go? What are these pillars? I want to build a new one, but how?

I began inspecting the pillars. To my surprise, I realized some of them weren’t built that well. Okay, I could remove ten meters and rebuild that part for the worst ones. Just need to get some steel and concrete. And some knowledge of how to place it. And build a crane to get access. And get a machine to mix the concrete. So much to do…

I’ve built the crane and went down ten meters. I saw that it’s not just the top part that’s built insufficiently to support my bridge-project.

Who in the world built this and thought “Meh, good enough!” ?? Oh yes, I did.

I also can’t just reinforce the pillars. It would only put more stress on the lower parts.

Alright, let’s plan an expedition to the bottom.
New Construction Financing build funding
By: Homebuild Mortgage
Tags: New Financing, Home Build, New Construction, Construction Financing, Construction

Owning your dream home will always come at a price. And whether you’re just starting out or building your lakeside retirement home, chances are there’s someone more than you need help financing the cost of building your dream.

Now, if you’ve already been through the process of building a home, you know that building finance is not the same as getting a conventional mortgage on an existing home. But if you haven’t really enjoyed building a castle just for you, there are a few things to do about financing a new home loan. For instance:

Building loan financing can be difficult. Two loans are often required: one for the construction period and one for permanent financing. This means that you have to buy both loans separately and there may be closing costs for both. However, if you are eligible for a loan with a company that offers permanent construction loans, both loans will be combined into one and they will take the extra steps to finance your dream home.

Bridge loans can help secure your new owner-occupied mortgage before selling your current home. If you already have a home, a bridge loan will allow you to take advantage of the balance in your owner-occupied home and use it as a down payment on a permanent building loan. When you sell your main current residence or your new home is ready, all you have to do is pay off the bridge loan and make new home construction loan financing payments (also known as your mortgage).

If you have found the right place, but are not ready to build your dream home, you can just buy the land and build on it later. Just look for a lender that offers a lot of loans, which is a short-term financing that will give you time to choose an architect and a builder who will give you the perfect opportunity. Of course, many lenders are cautious when it comes to borrowing money on land, as it can be difficult to resell if the buyer leaves the loan, so many of them want to pay High with a high flat rate. So look around for the best loan possible and save your money for your down payment on your new construction financing loan.

Going through the process and doing your research will definitely bring in more information from experts in the field. But if you know what types of loans to look for, and what they will mean for you while your new home is being built, it will be easier to make the right decision for you. Yourself and your financial situation.

They adapted and restructured their effective and reliable business model for the construction industry. Dan Kantor, CEO of Complete Construction Crewing said it was the logical move to make.

Kantor added, “We had already built a strong trust within the unions due to our track record for prompt and accurate payment, safety record, knowledge of contacts, and our overall respect for workers. We quickly realized we could leverage our positive reputation to help get the Chicagoland construction industry back to work.”

The contractors are vastly helped by the Complete Construction Crewing to secure jobs.

Preparing for the future: Embracing digital will be key

The hire industry is all about people, so why are digital solutions and technology so important? Digitisation and digitalisation are easy if you have the right partner, so says Simon Gibbons, consultant and industry advisor to easyToolhire. Read on and discover Gibbons’ thoughts on the future of tool hire trends and the current marketplace…

I have worked in the hire industry for more than 30 years and have seen many changes throughout the years, especially growth and how digitalisation is enhancing the way in which we search and place orders.

Coronavirus, as we know, has had a huge impact on the way we live and work. However, the construction and home improvement market has continued to develop during this period and I believe will continue to do so.

From talking to colleagues and associates within the hire industry, there are noticeable trends: The frequency of hire is shorter and this often places pressure on some branches, as businesses struggle to manage the logistics of collection and deliveries. Some hire brands are looking to create “super depots” by merging depots and embracing digitalisation.

In my previous role, as managing director of Point of Rental, I helped support customers in enhancing their technology. Now, technology is the norm and hire companies must not waste time getting up to speed.

The solution you need

I do believe that the next few months will remain strong and I feel that’s because the hire market has accepted today’s challenges. It is looking to make enhancements. Yet, the only setback will be the likes of “us” and people adhering to the rules and regulations to keep others safe and well.

The hire industry is all about people and everything that you do in the hire industry is about relationships. It’s a very “earthy sector”, with lots of character, heart and hard work, and so it’s been great to see so many people lifting the spirits of others during these tough times.

People and relationships are central to understanding the mechanics of hire. This is why I sit on the easyHire advisory board. Dedicated and hard working people are driving the business forward, determined to positively disrupt the hire industry.

If anyone is looking to grow their business through digitalisation then easyHire’s easyToolhire brand is the solution for you. The tech is outstanding so digitisation is easy. But moreover, you will be supported by some of the best experts in their field, making any business transformation easy.

If you are an ambitious and driven business, which has capital for investment, plans for expansion and is open to innovation, give me a call today.

MNG Airlines: Soaring above the clouds
By: Mapa Group
Tags: Airlines, Aviation, Cargo, Construction, Flying

One of Mapa Group’s most successful subsidiaries, MNG Airlines was established in 1996. MNG Airline’s maiden cargo flight followed the subsequent year in 1997 with a flight to Frankfurt-Hahn in Germany and London-Stansted in the UK, with a mid-range Airbus A300. The airline has continued to operate throughout the global pandemic this year serving clients, while at the same time rapidly adapting its business operations to the new normal.

The company was born out of Mehmet Nazif Günal’s vision, the founder and chairman of Mapa Group, to provide a national air cargo carrier with a focus on customer satisfaction and flight safety. The company provides a range of services including scheduled, chartered and special cargo services, with a large imports warehouse based out of Atatürk Airport in Istanbul.

Over the last two decades, MNG Airlines has grown to become the leading air freight service provider based in Turkey, with many corporate partnerships with reputable companies such as DHL, UPS, Turkish Airlines, TNT, Air France Cargo, KLM Cargo and many others. The rise of MNG Airlines is linked to its ethos of providing ‘tailor-made’ services that focus on the needs of corporate customers that demand reliability and speedy delivery of their cargo. So corporate clients can charter cargo flights in varying capacities and planes which suit their own needs, not tied to a pre-existing cargo flight. MNG Airlines is not limited to just corporate clients — Shakira — renowned global pop star and her team used MNG Airlines to move equipment and cargo for her concert in Istanbul in 2018.

The air freight business operation now commands a fleet of six Airbus A300–600 planes and one Airbus A330–243F aircraft, the latest in a new-generation freighter. Meanwhile, the import & export side of the business operates a 10,000m² warehouse that handles a 7,000 euro-palette capacity.

MNG Airlines is the only private Turkish company offering international cargo flight services to and from Germany, UK, Netherlands, Italy, France, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and Algeria — making it a uniquely positioned company in Turkey — with a strong economic outlook, especially across EMEA.

It’s not a secret that the construction industry has seen the least productivity improvement ratios in the last 60 years! And that’s for multiple reasons. Some of them can be obvious for anyone who stepped into a construction site before, without the need to read McKinsey’s productivity reports. The construction process is really complex with tens of stakeholders working on any given project, each of them has his own needs and uses different tools. So we shouldn’t be naive to think that it will be disrupted in the same way as the taxi or hospitality sectors.

Will there be a David to take down the Goliath?

I guess, yes! not only one, but many.

I want to share with you my discovery journey to find some of the Davids out there in order to understand the trends, technologies, and business models that are shaping the future of our lovely old industry! It will be a series of research to deconstruct the whole property value chain.

Design/Build

I will start with the “Design / Build” phase due to my background in architecture and the intimate relationship that I have with the design and building process.

Below you find the startups that stood out during my daily life in the last year. Let’s call it passive research. Whenever I stumbled on an interesting startup while scrolling my LinkedIn feed or while checking my crunch base newsletter, I added it to my list. I think that this method allows us to have an honest view of the proptech landscape.

PS: My goal is not to create a repository where every existing prop-tech startup should be included, as there already are dedicated platforms for that such as Proptechzone.
