The construction business has increased phenomenally in the last years and this increase has caused many revolutions as much on the point of view of regulations, new methods and new materials provided. Going green! is only one of the subjects that has great influence at the moment on all aspects of the construction business.
Because of the price increase on of certain materials the industry has developed less expensive durable materials and new methods of labor. The same thing is applicable in the energy cost which forces the owners to become aware of the maintenance cost of the home.
The styles and trends are also subjects that affect greatly our construction industry, from the concept of new architectural styles to the smallest finishing details and decorations.
Here is an outline of subjects that we want to share with you, if you have a building project, a renovation project or just fascinated by the architecture and residential construction just like we do at Drummond Designs.
We wish you very pleasant reading and wonderful discoveries!
My wife and I built an energy efficent home in Ottawa, 2005. The building envelope (exterior walls) consisted of ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) from top to bottom. We utilized a Baxi boiler for radiant heating, hot air exchanger/furnace and domestic hot water. If you have any questions let me know
This is excellent!!!
I want to build a house next year and I will have a lot of questions soon.
