Severance applications are required when a landowner is looking to divide their property. An example of such can be seen where the proposed new lot (Proposed Severance) is outlined in Yellow and the remainder of the lot (Retained) is outlined in Blue. The Ontario Planning Act requires permission to be granted before a parcel of land can be divided to create a new lot, this applies to single lot creation and plans of subdivision. https://buff.ly/428y2XE #engineering #design #architecture #construction #interiordesign #design #building #contractor #architecturaldesign #realestate #brockville #kingston #ottawa #cornwall #smithsfalls #gananoque #1000islands #easternontario #engineer #designer #ontario #build #diy #exterior #render #CAD #sketchup #landscape #surveying

Building houses, temples or bridges, however remote from IT technically speaking, is not that far off from a who’s who angle. Civil architecture itself is as old as the settlement of human nomads, but the role of the architect, as we conceive it in the Western world, dates back to a few centuries. Before that, craftsmen were also responsible for the design.  The definition of a balanced engagement model in the civil construction world did not come naturally, as we can guess by reading this citation from Philibert Delorme (1514-1570), a French architect and thought leader of the Renaissance: “Patrons should employ architects instead of turning to some master mason or master carpenter as is the custom or some painter, some notary or some other person who is supposed to be qualified but often than not has no better judgment than the patron himself […]." This quote shows that 500 years ago, the building construction industry was having its struggles, at least from a roles perspective. Shall we wait 400 years? #rolesandresponsibilities #qualitymanagement Source: Catherine Wilson, “The New Professionalism in the Renaissance”

A draft working Elevation for a bespoke residential dwelling in the South Mainland of Shetland. At this early stage it is all about getting the basics right, with careful consideration being given to: - Site Views - Maximising Daylight - Access - Shelter - Topography - Form and Massing - Materials Hopefully the Planning Application for this one will be submitted soon.

This is so true. Often when focusing on one perspective of IT we often miss the overall purpose. Each area needs to be expert in thier field but know some about the areas around them. A backend app developer should understand data structures and storage design pattern as well as the interface face layer that is thier customer. Overall all parts need to understand the business purpose they are solving. Without this you will have programs that run but provide little value. Similarly with hardware, networking…… and the list goes on.

The story of three bricklayers is a multi-faceted parable with many different variations, but is rooted in an authentic story. After the great fire of 1666 that leveled London, the world’s most famous architect, Christopher Wren, was commissioned to rebuild St Paul’s Cathedral. One day in 1671, Christopher Wren observed three bricklayers on a scaffold, one crouched, one half-standing and one standing tall, working very hard and fast. To the first bricklayer, Christopher Wren asked the question, “What are you doing?” to which the bricklayer replied, “I’m a bricklayer. I’m working hard laying bricks to feed my family.” The second bricklayer, responded, “I’m a builder. I’m building a wall.” But the third brick layer, the most productive of the three and the future leader of the group, when asked the question, “What are you doing?” replied with a gleam in his eye, “I’m a cathedral builder. I’m building a great cathedral to The Almighty.” Big Picture Thinking – Being able to see the end result and how your work contributes to that end. Attitude – A positive attitude and pride in what you are doing will show up in your work and your motivation. Connection to the Organization’s Mission – Employees who are rightly connected to the organization’s mission, vision, values, and goals are happier, more engaged, and more productive employees. Be the third bricklayer.

The 4 most common mistakes architects make on drawings... . . Count 'em down: 4) Masonry Anchors -- often forgotten 3) Rooftop Equipment Curb Flashing -- too often left to the engineers 2) Duct Clearance -- not enough space for all that stuff above the ceiling 1) Roof Drain Leaders -- the roof drains are there, but then what??? . There is no such thing as a perfect project. Things get missed. Get to know your project SO WELL that you begin to see what's NOT there. #projectmistakes #architectsdrawings #perfectionisamyth #architectsaccelerator https://lnkd.in/guh-hrnT

⛰ 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐚𝐩 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 It reminds me First Year Surveying Course !! Contour lines are crucial 2D features used to represent the elevation and relief of a landscape. They connect points of equal elevation, allowing you to visualize the shape and steepness of the terrain. #contour #surveying #civil #civilengineering #architectural

Steven Baczek, thanks for posting. Insulation type, cost, wall systems, and thermal breaks are an ongoing conversation / debate. For too many years insulation has been underappreciated. Thankfully code requirements are catching up and increasing requirements (but at a cost). From a GC perspective we want to provide the optimal system without getting silly on product selections and blowing the client's budget. Rigid ISO is optimal but remains crazy expensive. Rock wool is perfect for fire rating but costly as well. So where is the happy medium juggling cost to value? How does one achieve a sound but not over the top 1) WRB 2) thermal break 3) higher R-value 4) with affordable products? Not an easy one to solve but would love to get your input. Have you ever considered using party wall style framing (common 2x10 plates with staggered double 2x4 studs) and BIBS insulation? Thoughts?

Gable wall, floor joists, soffit? Not sure what they're talking about ? Buying a house means you're likely to be learning some new vocablulary and sometimes feeling out of your depth when talking to surveyors, architects and builders. One of the reasons I suggest my clients use www.gethousesurvey.ie for building surveys is that they include this extremely useful diagram in their surveys to make it easy for buyers to understand what everyone is talking about. Isn't it a good one?

Teamwork makes the dream work. It's been wonderful working at NEMA Management and learning from my colleagues (Wayne Felton, PE and Mason Colley, PMP, Rob Everett, and Mitchell Puryear, LEED AP) the strategies being deployed between different design build teams to finalize projects into completion. Each individual brings to a project something different and the open communication as well as trust established between players really does allow for challenges (major or minor) to be overcome. #teambuilding #projectmanagement #construction
