It takes more than construction materials and the right tools to build a healthy home. Forward-thinking contractors add construction moisture management into building plans to not just stay on schedule and within budget, but also prevent future problems that could compromise the quality of craftsmanship and homeowner health. Construction drying services allow to contractors to control the temperature, relative humidity levels and ventilation rates at their sites to keep materials dry, allow wet materials to dry and cure properly, and prevent corrosion and mold growth. As a result, the equipment keeps home builders working all year round while promoting pride and peace of mind in those who live in the properties constructed.

In 1995, about three-quarters of the schools in the U.S. were built before 1970. When the U.S. General Accounting Office released this information in a report; it added that nearly 60 percent of school buildings had unsatisfactory environmental conditions. A growing number of studies throughout the decades have found that conditions within school buildings have a significant impact on teachers and students. Because facility quality is a predictor of student health and learning, as well as teacher retention, more schools are upgrading their comfort systems and looking to temporary climate control and building layup services to maintain the health of their buildings.

A structured environment in which children learn is a fairly new concept in the history of humankind. The idea of what makes schools “good” has evolved dramatically in the last century, and the subject of school building design continues to be debated and studied today. Understanding how environmental standards in schools have changed to provide students with healthier environments helps stakeholders better appreciate the importance of building layup services and temporary climate control.

Concrete is the most widely used material on the planet. Its abundance, affordability and incredible strength form the foundation of the modern world—from buildings to bridges.

Historic homes are symbols of a community’s character and heritage. Their renovation and rehabilitation encourages energy efficiency while reducing the need for new construction and use of raw materials. The National Park Service states that property owners may modify or improve historic homes as long federal funds are not tied to the property and the changes do not go against state historic preservation office (SHPO) guidelines or local preservation laws. When renovating historic homes, it is common for contractors to expect the unexpected. Through careful planning and construction moisture management, contractors ensure their work does not introduce new hazards.
