Con­struc­tion phas­ing is rev­o­lu­tion­iz­ing the way we approach build­ing projects. By divid­ing a project into man­age­able seg­ments, it is a strate­gic method for tack­ling large-scale devel­op­ments while also main­tain­ing oper­a­tional con­ti­nu­ity.

The evolv­ing and improv­ing field of build­ing inspec­tion, along with real estate reg­u­la­tions, enures that today’s buy­ers can make more accu­rate and informed deci­sions on their build­ing pur­chas­es than they could 50 years ago.

Any sus­tain­abil­i­ty con­sul­tant will tell you that a building’s insu­la­tion is a cru­cial part in con­struct­ing an ener­gy-effi­cient, high per­for­mance home. Choos­ing the right mate­r­i­al and insu­la­tion method for a build ensures home­own­ers will have a sus­tain­able build­ing enve­lope for the life cycle of the home.

By iden­ti­fy­ing these ener­gy wasters, you can take the nec­es­sary steps to make the build­ing more effi­cient.
