Know which materials are appropriate for the type of design of your construction project.
When renovating an existing building, there may be times when the type of structural materials used may be questioned in the design and construction of a project. How do we determine which material is appropriate for the type of design of the project? This topic will help the professionals involved to understand the various structural components used in commercial construction and determine the pros and cons of the various building components. We will discuss the pros and cons and delve into the cost considerations, fire and building codes, and common problems discovered.
