2024 Ontario Building Code: What You Need to Know The Ontario Building Code (OBC) is slated for substantial updates in 2024, enhancing safety, accessibility, sustainability, and efficiency in building design. The changes encompass stricter energy standards, heightened accessibility, improved fire safety, revised structural guidelines, and new environmental protections. The goal is to reduce energy use, foster inclusivity, increase fire safety, spur innovation, and conserve resources. IN Engineering offers expertise and custom solutions to smoothly navigate these changes and ensure regulatory compliance. Reach out for more information on your future projects.

Insulated Concrete Forms (ICFs) are known for their installation speed, resilience, and energy efficiency. Check out the seven reasons why Architect Larry Deweese is a proponent of ICFs: https://lnkd.in/ed3uUHbb

A spotlight this week on the work of our planning team. Whether your project is new-build, refurbishment or change of use, we provide appropriate and intelligent acoustic advice to see you through the planning stages - balancing costs, functional and aesthetic requirements to deliver the right solutions. This project was led by Callum Brewer. ALL SAINTS INDUSTRIAL ESTATE, MARGATE We were commissioned by AGI Architecture to undertake a noise impact assessment to support the “Outline application for the erection of 58 commercial units, cafe and associated parking including access, appearance, layout and scale.” The proposed site is currently vacant and is located on an industrial estate that includes existing light industrial use units. We undertook a noise impact assessment in accordance with BS 4142:2014+A1:2019 ‘Methods for rating and assessing industrial and commercial sound’ together with consideration of relevant local and national policy and recommendations from the Thanet District Council Environmental Protection team. Thanet District Council granted permission for the outline application in April 2023.

Post Tension Slabs in the Building Construction; Post-tension slabs are the secret ingredient that elevates buildings to new heights Here's why they're the go-to choice for modern projects: > Post-tensioning techniques reinforce structures, making them stronger and more resilient against time and external forces. > Post-tension slabs allow for sleeker designs and maximize usable space, giving architects more room to play with. > With post-tensioning, you get superior quality and durability without the hefty price tag of traditional methods. > Post-tension slabs minimize waste and extend the lifespan of buildings, reducing environmental impact. And many more! #Post_Tension_Slabs #Construction #Engineering #Creativity #Durability

Urban environments present unique challenges for construction projects, especially when it comes to foundation design. The choice between shallow and deep foundations plays a crucial role in ensuring the stability and sustainability of structures within the constraints of limited space and dense surroundings. In this article, we will delve into the considerations, advantages, and challenges of shallow and deep foundation construction in urban settings. #FoundationConstruction #ShallowFoundation #DeepFoundation #UrbanConstruction #BuildingFoundations #StructuralEngineering

Introduction to Building Materials aims to provide participants with basic knowledge and foundational theories of architectural drawings, design and construction-related materials and methods encountered in constructing a simple/single-storey building and enable participants to carry out descriptive quantification and material analysis tasks. It also provides basic knowledge regarding providing services and controlling the built environment in and around buildings.
