Developers in Houston, Texas, face the formidable challenge of high land costs, especially in major metro areas. This can significantly impact a project’s feasibility and profitability. To counteract this obstacle, developers can be encouraged to strategically assess undervalued properties. This could unlock potential opportunities for cost-effective acquisitions. Additionally, this approach to land purchasing can enable developers to optimize their investments and enhance the overall project viability.

Hot, Humid Conditions Create Concrete Challenges ☀️ In 2019, Labarre Associates Inc. began construction on the new corporate campus for Pelican State Credit Union in Baton Rouge Louisiana. Expected to be completed by 2020 the project involved a two and three-story building in addition to a large parking lot. The campus is expected to be the first in Louisiana to be compliant with the WELL Building Standard, a performance-based system for measuring, certifying, and monitoring features of the build that enhance the health of people working there. Humidity control in steamy Baton Rouge creates challenges for concrete pours. Higher humidity levels increase the concrete’s pH levels and can reduce the compressive strength. With a tight schedule to maintain, Labarre was receptive to innovative, out-of-the-box options for assessing concrete strength more quickly than conventional cylinder break-tests allow while maintaining quality and construction velocity. With SmartRock® Plus, contractors can install wireless sensors to the rebar, and immediately monitor temperature and strength data on any iOS or Android app. Real-time data allows major construction projects to move forward more rapidly – often saving weeks and shaving thousands of dollars from construction costs. Beat the heat! Check out how SmartRock Plus supported Labarre's project and saved them valuable time on their schedule in our case study 👇 https://hubs.ly/Q02x7v1x0 #CaseStudy #Concrete #Construction

The City of Tulsa's contractor Envocore/RTS Solutions will be in Downtown starting the week of December 9 to install new small and residential water meters and meter boxes. Work progress may be slow since most of these meters are located in concrete areas. This project is part of the Water & Sewer Department's citywide “True Reads” Program, which categorizes service line material and ensures our system is free of lead pipes.

Recently, Texas Sparks Constructions (TSC) was engaged by a customer to conduct a detailed feasibility report on commercial land located in North Austin, TX. TSC assembled a team comprising civil engineers, the construction team, city staff, surveyors, and market analysis experts to perform thorough due diligence. During this process, the team discovered some easements that were not previously indicated in any surveys. Thanks to our network of experienced local civil engineers and our knowledge base to carefully assess these lands using various checklists and parameters, these easements were identified. Aside from this, all other aspects of the land checked out well. Armed with these findings, our customer approached the seller and successfully negotiated a reduced sale price for the land. TSC provided a detailed feasibility report and a concept plan tailored to the customer’s requirements. We conducted a meeting with the concerned City's Planning and Development team & other associated authorities, presented the future land use plan, and adjusted the concept plan based on feedback from the city, the scope also included the financial proforma for this development considering all scenarios. Through these comprehensive preparations, the customer felt very comfortable with their purchase. These detailed feasibility studies conducted by TSC not only provide insights into the property's conditions but also empower our clients to renegotiate prices with sellers, often leading to significant savings.
