The recent changes to the National Construction Code around Condensation in buildings, building with timber is going to require professional mold treatment which will make timber a premium option for home owners. As PCA's become more strict with enforcement of the NCC steel will become the most affordable and faster options for volume housing.

Ever wonder what Precast Concrete is? Come on, you know you were lying awake last night wondering.................So here ya go......... Precast concrete. It's all around you and you probably never realized it. From faster construction timelines and lower labor costs to greater design flexibility and customization, it is changing the way we build. So, if you're looking for a construction material that can provide superior quality, speed, and sustainability, choosing precast concrete is the way to go. Precast concrete is made by pouring concrete into a mold in a factory or plant, instead of directly pouring it at the construction site. The cured concrete product is then transported to the construction site and installed as a finished material. Pretty cool.

❄️ Construction in the Cold? Precast Concrete is the solution! ❄️ When temperatures drop, traditional construction becomes a major challenge. Weather delays can disrupt schedules, increase costs, and stall progress. But with precast concrete, the story changes. Manufactured indoors in a controlled environment, precast concrete is unaffected by frigid temperatures, ensuring high quality and consistency no matter the season. Installation on-site is faster and more efficient, allowing projects to stay on track. Don’t let winter slow down your project: Build with precast and keep your projects moving! #PrecastConcrete #WinterConstruction #BuildingBetter #HowPrecastBuilds #ColdWeatherBuilding

SPIDER - CONNECTION AND REINFORCEMENT SYSTEM FOR COLUMNS AND FLOORS. The SPIDER connection and reinforcement system represents a revolution in the world of timber construction. It allows the construction of multi-storey buildings with column-to-floor structure that until now were impossible to build, with a distance between the columns of more than 7.0 x 7.0 meters of structural mesh, and allows to transfer more than 5000 kN of vertical force between the pillars.

Precast concrete technology has been around for over a century, evolving into advanced elements like hollow-core and more. Despite this, many professionals still prefer in-situ designs for commercial and industrial projects, even though hollow-core technology has been in South Africa since the early 80s----over 40years of innovation! We've seen countless presentations, international guest speakers and experts share the benefits of prestressed hollow-core, yet its use remains limited mostly to masonry structures up to four floors. But here's the exciting part: we've successfully applied prestressed hollow-core slabs to structures with five and six stories! Want to know more?

Reasons leading to the disaster in the video below: Improper TWD, the absence of reshoring or backshoring, rapid construction seems like the lower floor concrete didn’t gain its targeted compressive strength, or may be the construction load on it exceeded the design loads. But definitely the failure in the lower floor initiated by punching shear which clearly appears in the edge columns then the whole floor progressively collapsed..

 Can Stamped Concrete Be Recovered? Here’s What You Need to Know! 🌟 Stamped concrete is a stylish and durable choice for any home, but sometimes recovery isn't straightforward. Here’s what you should consider: 🔍 Key Factors: Surface Damage: Minor cracks are fixable, but deep cracks and severe spalling may need more work. Color Fading: UV exposure can fade colors. Some recoloring is possible, but results may vary. Installation Quality: Properly installed stamped concrete is easier to recover. Poor installation can lead to uneven surfaces. Stains: Deep oil and chemical stains can be tough to remove completely. Aging: Older concrete may have multiple issues, but timely maintenance can help. 🏡 Our Approach: DNA Construction provides honest assessments and expert solutions. Whether it’s repair or replacement, we’ll help maintain your concrete’s beauty and functionality. 🔧 Maintenance Tips: Regular cleaning Sealing Prompt crack repairs Questions?

Precast concrete construction involves creating building components in a factory and then transporting them to the construction site for assembly. These components, like walls, floors, beams, and columns, are crucial in construction projects. While a video can offer insight into precast installation, but do you believe it is a safe method of working?!!
