Net zero buildings make their way, solar, wind and geothermal are likely to be the preferable ways of generating energy, as they generate the same amount of energy that is consumed by these buildings.

Knowing how to build a steel building is not expected from laymen. It is for this reason that steel building kits are becoming a favourite among the novice builders.

The best thing to start with is building performance simulation. It can help Architects run multiple simulations with various materials and physical positioning as to how a building would function under different situations. This kind of choices made at very initial stage of deign can help converse the energy later on.

Structural engineers might have often heard of the saying that 'earthquakes do not kill people, buildings do'. It is so true, and we have learnt this the hard way. Recently Nepal experienced one of the worst earthquakes. Buildings got razed from the face of earth and there were several casualties reported. While we cannot prevent earthquakes, it is definitely possible to ensure that the damage caused due to this natural disaster is minimal. This is possible via earthquake resistant buildings and cities.

Building structural design and detailing by experts; paves way for improved structural stability and a robust framework in buildings. This is extremely critical when we consider high rises and skyscrapers. Why? Because, just like our spinal cord supports and enables the body to stand and function, a buildings structural design and framework is a crucial part that imparts stability and strength to the building.

Steel building kits come not only with the components but also the instructions and the drawings for the building. As a result the entire job becomes a lot easier. In fact, if you are building something like a tool shed you might not even require professionals to help you.

Building information modeling is no more the wonder word that the construction industry raved about. Today BIM has become vernacular of professionals working on building design and construction projects for large buildings and complex structures. The question that construction firms are asking is not about whether to implement BIM or not, now it is all about how it will be executed.

Are you planning on building a steel building? Then you must take into account the factors that have an impact on its price,

In September this year, when a popular church in Nigeria collapsed and 116 people were killed, an urgent probe was ordered. Did this fatal collapse occur due to lack of attention given to the buildings structural design? The structural design of a building is largely responsible for the security and safety of its occupants. According to a research it was recorded that the structures of majority buildings that have collapsed, were not supervised by experts.

Concrete has had a long and string industry presence in the building industry. Now it is being taken over by steel. Read this article to find out why.

Metal Buildings are extremely sturdy. But the quality of the building has a lot of influence in it.

The permits are extremely important when you are planning construction of any kind. In case of Steel Building Construction it is more so. It would be rather foolishness to begin the construction without getting the permission.

The building permits are mandatory before beginning any construction. Therefore, it is important to get the permits before you begin designing the steel building. 

A retrofit, traditional energy overhaul of a building that includes replacingmechanical systems, windows, insulation, and other features during a remodel is quite a costly affair, as it is not a model that can be deployed rapidly or at scale.

Increasing number of industries have become data driven already. They are all the more associated with specialists, build data-centric cultures, and developed tools - gadgets - applications and much more to leverage data, optimize their new as well as ongoing projects, and avoid any pitfalls. There are no second thoughts that the building construction industry will certainly follow.

More industrialized approach becomes mandatory, an approach that will reduce cost and simplify the decision making process for buyers. But as we all would agree, each city skyline is unique in itself, every building comes in with its own kind of combination of uses, systems and opportunities to be energy efficient.

Structural modeling plays very important role in improving the strength of building structures and also enables the way of smooth construction process. Know how efficiently it helps in building structures.

Though, LEED helps Architects, contractors, engineers and owners to stay productive and profitable in the long run, there are challenges with these LEED certified buildings as well.

LEED not only saves money of the buyers or inhabitants, it increases building efficiency, and most importantly brings sustainability.

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is playing most important role in MEP installation and maintenance. It helps in planning stage of building project as well as also helps MEP contractors after project completion.
