Retrofit 2024 series: post 3 of 5 Renovations, larger alterations, or repairs to an existing house often include shortening or removing walls. But it can be hard to find the rating of the wall bracings beforehand, unless the building was built or has been extensively altered within the past 40 years. Read the different ways architects and designers handle these situations and when they call in a structural engineer. https://lnkd.in/g7tFkg8h

FIVE BENEFITS IN HIRING FACADE ENGINEERING SERVICES IN FLORIDA The facade is the most important part of a building when it comes to its appearance. It is the first thing that people see when they look at a building, and it can make or break the overall design intent and performance of the structure. That’s why it’s so important to make sure that the facade is well-designed and well-engineered. Facade engineering is the process of designing and constructing the facade of a building. This includes everything from the materials that are used to the way that the facade is put together. To create a successful facade, engineers need to take into account the following factors: • The required local, regional, and national building codes • The climate in which the building will be located • The type of environment that the building will be located in • The way that sunlight will affect the building • The wind loads that the building will experience • The seismic activity in the area (if applicable) • The soil conditions in the area Hiring the right team for the job can make all the difference.

ARCHITECTS... Don't be afraid to get your boots DIRTY! Professionally and ethically, architects are required to make observations regarding the construction of the buildings they design. Construction Phase Services (what some refer to as CA Phase), is an integral part of every project. Construction is a process of layers being built one on top of another. From foundations to slabs, framing, sheathing, cladding, underlayment, and roofing systems. As each layer is added another is covered. It is important to be present on-site to make observations of the previous layer before it is covered by the next. Even if you are the firm’s CAD Ninja and draw details all day, it's beneficial to see how those drawings are built and put together. Watching the construction process can assist an architect in further understanding how a design is built IN THE REAL WORLD and may help a designer think about the construction process when he or she is working on their next project. #neverstoprlearning #aecindustry #architecture

🚧 Bridge Construction Process 🌉 Bridge construction is an exciting and complex process that involves multiple stages and requires high professional skills. 🏗️ 1️⃣ Designing ✏️📐: It all starts with detailed designing, where engineers and architects create drawings and models of the future bridge. 2️⃣ Site Preparation 🌍: At this stage, soil investigation and foundation preparation for bridge supports are conducted. 3️⃣ Building Supports and Columns 🏛️: The main load-bearing elements of the bridge begin to be erected, laying the foundation and installing columns. 4️⃣ Installation of Span Structures 🔩: Spanning parts connecting the supports and creating the main roadway are installed. 5️⃣ Concrete Pouring and Reinforcement 🪨: Concrete, the main material used in construction, is poured and reinforced to increase strength. 6️⃣ Finishing Works and Safety Checks 🔧: The final stage includes installing railings, lighting, and conducting safety checks on all construction elements. 📸🎥 This process requires coordinated work of a team of professionals and the use of advanced technologies. The completed bridge becomes not only an important element of infrastructure but also a true architectural masterpiece. 🌉✨ #viral #civilengineering #civilengineer #concrete #buildings #construction #building #engineer #engineering #columns #architecture #architect #architecturelovers #architects #architectural #interiordesign #interiordesigner #interior #interiors #engenhariacivil #engenharia #engcivil #projeto #engenheiro #arquiteturaeurbanismo #construção #mimar #inşaat 🔨🦺🚧

Mistakes Happen During Project Execution when you handle with labour and working out the budget for your design..! Before starting the work Always prepare Site Marking which is Bullet marking on site. How your design going to execute for that you should re confirm with vendor the calculated budget will fit into your design. Kindly share with your colleagues Architects, Civil Engineers who are into Executing the project.

Enhancing Your Home: The Role of Structural Engineers     If you’re considering a house extension, it’s essential to involve a range of professionals to ensure a successful project. Among these experts, a structural engineer plays a pivotal role in ensuring your house extension not only meets your design aspirations but also possesses the necessary structural integrity. Let’s delve into the vital role that structural engineers play in your building project and how they collaborate seamlessly with architectural designers to bring your vision to life.    Why a Structural Engineer Matters A structural engineer brings a wealth of expertise to the table, performing intricate structural calculations that underpin the entire project. These calculations consider various factors, including the placement of the extension, the weight of materials, and the level of structural support needed. Whether you’re planning to remove walls, undertake loft conversions, or alter room layouts, a structural engineer’s involvement is crucial. For instance, if your extension involves removing a load-bearing exterior wall to expand your kitchen, a structural engineer will calculate the load-bearing requirements. This calculation guides builders in installing the correct size of support beam, ensuring your extension’s stability.    Read more in our blog: https://lnkd.in/eNQ5NREJ #HouseExtension #Property #StructuralEngineer

👉 Our Projects and what we did! With Marco Polo Limassol getting closer to completion, it gives us an opportunity to reflect back to what we did, in terms of structural and seismic design, for one of the most remarkable projects in our portfolio! The project consists of 12 floors that have been carefully planned so as to astonish its residents with distinctive design and unique lifestyle. Each floor was offset by 1.5m to create a large area of 'uncovered terrace' on each floor and resulting in supersized seafacing terraces on each floor. Offsetting each floor resulted in a building with an incline of over 20 degrees. This creates unique technical challenges in terms of structure and seismic design, but gives the building a totally unique look which is emphasised by articulating each floor as stacked on top of one another. We did the Structural and Civil Engineering Design, Construction Drawings and Supervision of works spaces, retail areas and plazas.
