A new way to manage projects Construtech Magazine Share
Today's construction mantra could go something like this: Fix the building you already have in place, as opposed to build something new from scratch. The nature of the market is requiring many owners to 'build smarter' — which in many cases means focusing on smaller remodeling and renovating projects, as opposed to larger capital programs. This shift in the market means owners are now using technology in new ways. More
Remodeling Show, Deck Expo showcase new innovation Home Channel News Share
Decking vendors of all persuasions shared McCormick Place with suppliers of other remodeling materials as the Deck Expo and the Remodeling Show joined their events this year. Exterior siding and PVC/composite decking seemed to dominate the floor, although a large wood pavilion showcased cedar, redwood and pressure-treated lumber. New products at the show included a line of DAP sealants and adhesives aimed at the professional window and siding installer. The Spec Line, this color-coded offering carries numeric labels that match industry-specific standards. More

The best way to ensure minimal growth of mushrooms, fungus on decking The Washington Post Share
Maximizing airflow is perhaps the best way to ensure minimal growth of mushrooms and fungus on your composite decking. The goal is to keep the wood fibers inside the decking as dry as possible. Air movement greatly accelerates drying. Because at least one leading manufacturer admits its decking does absorb moisture, anyone with composite decking needs to make sure it dries as soon as possible after getting wet. More Power to the punch list Construtech Magazine Share
Perhaps one of the most critical pieces to any project, the punch list process can also be one of the most painstaking. Without the right means for which to capture and manage the information during this process, contractors are often left with error-prone processes that can end up costing them greatly after all is said and done. Technology providers are coming strong as of late with new applications and services that help address the punch list process in construction. Contractors are taking notice of this fact. More
