Mint & Morehead Charlotte, NC Developer - Aspen Heights Partners GC - Samet Corporation Architect - dwell design studio, llc Engineer - Ehlert Bryan Engineering Consulting Installer - Baker Concrete Constructors "It was our first time working with the system and the Swirnow team stepped up to provide total project support which was invaluable to the Hambro installation and overall project success." - Drew Bardeleben Samet Corporation "Dwell Design Studio is proud of our successful collaboration with Swirnow Structures' pre-construction team, where exceptional teamwork has fueled the design process of this project. Together, we've crafted an exceptionally efficient high-rise structure, turning our design vision into reality. We eagerly anticipate future opportunities to collaborate." - Jose A. Perez, AIA, Principal Dwell Design Studio, LLC "This was our third building using Hambro on prefabricated light gauge metal studs and we are extremely pleased with the results. With continuously rising material costs, Swirnow Structures maintained a cost-effective solution which ultimately helped keep the structure on budget. We look forward to working with them on future buildings." - Jay Lynde Aspen Heights Partners _____________________ Mint and Morehead, located in downtown Charlotte, NC is a 17-story building with 12 stories of Hambro composite joists bearing on pre-fabricated light gauge metal stud panels (348,000 sq. ft.) over 5 stories of poured-in-place concrete parking. The Hambro floor system presents a cost-effective alternative to traditional poured-in-place concrete construction, offering significant advantages in both speed of installation and structural efficiency. By utilizing Hambro bearing on prefabricated metal studs, buildings can be closed in as they are erected, accelerating the overall construction schedule. This allowed the installer to deliver a full floor of approximately 28,000 sq. ft. every 9 days. The innovative "strip and go" forming system allows reusable plywood forms to be stripped just 24 hours after the concrete pour without requiring shoring, this enables subcontractors to commence their work immediately following the pour. Furthermore, the Hambro system provides a lighter weight structural solution, with only half the dead-load of traditional poured-in-place structures, reducing foundation requirements and overall construction costs. The superior fire ratings of the Hambro system can eliminate the need for fire dampers, while its high STC rating negates the need for additional additives such as Batt insulation, resilient channels, etc. These features collectively contribute to a more efficient, cost-effective, and faster construction process, making Hambro an optimal choice for a variety of project types.

Tomorrow at #AIA24 — Type III Construction: Exterior Walls- Designing & Detailing for Code Acceptance 10:30 am – 11:30 am @ Booth 3947 | Presented by: R. Bruce Lindsey and Taylor Landry, PE, MLSE, WoodWorks With the growth in mid-rise wood-frame buildings, more designers are seeking information on code-compliant and constructible detailing. Many are unsure of the code’s requirements for details, specifically at the intersection of rated assemblies and where structure and fire protection meet. Untangling this issue is the goal of this presentation. Join us for a review of mid-rise wood-frame opportunities unique to type III construction. Plus, take a deep dive into detailing code requirements, code compliance, and rationale for approval with an emphasis on constructability and practicality. Join us at Booth 3947!

Column: Accelerating Tampa Bay's transformation with key projects Tampa Bay is on the verge of a remarkable transformation. With major projects like airport expansions, mixed-use developments, new stadiums and enhanced infrastructure, our region is poised for a growth spurt unlike anything we've seen in recent years. The successful execution of these projects has the potential to reshape our economy, attract new businesses and improve the quality of life for everyone in our community. However, if we don't prioritize the timely completion of these developments, we risk missing out on these opportunities. Local elected officials must act swiftly to ensure these projects move forward without unnecessary delays. https://lnkd.in/etHxnQAV

"While they still only represent a fraction of the housing being built across the country, building technologies like 3D-printed housing, modular construction, and the Passive House standard are showing a lot of promise as ways to deliver sorely needed housing while also meeting environmental requirements." By embracing new building technologies, construction professionals can successfully meet the growing demand for more housing options while also meeting the new environmental regulations. While the cost might be higher upfront, the long-term payoff in providing sustainable housing options to reduce the housing crisis is well worth the higher initial investment. #ConstructionTechnology #SustainableConstruction #3DHousing

Streamline Builders, Inc. PRO TIP FRIDAY! Planning Phased Renovations Phasing your renovations must adhere to the Critical Path Construction Schedule while phasing the work to minimize the disruption to your residents. Start by identifying areas where the most vulnerable and sensitive residents live. Review the critical path of construction schedule in detail. Compare the two paths of construction and prioritize the sensitive areas to be worked on closer together, while progressing along the critical path schedule to reach your milestones.

Vice President of Preconstruction Tom Degan, LEED AP highlights the impact on stabilizing the economy and how it relates to the present state of the construction market. Despite significant price spikes in materials like steel and roofing, strategic measures such as redundant suppliers and stabilized pricing have been implemented. The high-interest rates have curtailed speculative projects, shifting focus towards build-to-suit developments, while emerging trends like battery plants, electric vehicle charging facilities, and data centers continue to drive demand.

Love this from Randy Milburn as he discusses his experience this past week at AIA24. Note, early on in the podcast, his take on the importance of BRAND in commercial construction, on ARCAT and its impactful presence within this industry. We always grow our manufacturing client base during this conference. It’s truly our home turf. But this is the first show I remember in which we had so many exhibitors who aren’t already clients *coming to us* stating that they “needed to be in ARCAT.” The word is out. #askanyarchitect #askanyspecifier That’s not a brag. That’s my pride in what we’ve done here *the past few years* of the past 33 years. Randy also talks about our top-rated podcast DETAILED. If your design firm has been involved in a really cool and or impactful project, we’d love to have you as our guest. Every week we reach over 5000 new listeners. This year we’ll probably top the MILLION download mark. ARCAT isn’t just the fastest and most efficient means to do product research and product sourcing, it’s now part of the *conversation.* And your manufacturing brand, as well as your design firm, deserves to be part of that conversation! More on my AIA24 experience coming soon. Just saw this and had to share it!! #aia #architects #csi #scip #specifiers #buildingmaterials #constructionmarketing #arcat #specrates #branding #salessupport

The magazine of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF INDUSTRIAL AND OFFICE PROPERTIES (NAIOP) featured this piece about a study by the Associated General Contractors of America which looked at the expectations for project values in 2024 to be higher than in 2023. The areas ranked most likely to experience increases were linked to infrastructure work: water/sewer, transportation, bridges and highways. Manufacturing and warehouse construction values were among the top commercial projects with 15% and 10%, respectively, believing that values will be higher in 2024. https://lnkd.in/gPRr9mZD
