Renovations, refurbishments, and even old projects can still unlock savings. Capital Allowances don’t only apply when you first buy. Many investors are surprised to learn that past upgrades - from refitting kitchens to installing heating or security systems - could still qualify. If you’ve improved your property, the opportunity may not have passed you by. #Property #PropertyRenovations #Construction

Innovative construction isn't just about what you build, but how you build it. We're always impressed by industry leaders who push the envelope with smart building solutions. A great example is Hoar Construction's use of Lightweight Insulating Concrete (LWIC) systems and Lightweight Cellular Concrete (LCC) on their projects. This isn't just a small detail—it's a game-changer for: ✅ Superior Insulation & Energy Efficiency: LWIC systems provide a continuous, monolithic layer of insulation, drastically reducing thermal bridging and improving a building's overall performance. ✅ Exceptional Strength-to-Weight Ratio: LCC is perfect for civil applications like utility trench backfill, sub-slab fill, and void filling. It reduces dead load on structures while providing excellent compressive strength and flowability. ✅ Faster Project Timelines: These materials can be placed rapidly, often with less labor than traditional methods, helping keep projects like those in Hoar's impressive portfolio hoar.com/work/ on schedule. It's exciting to see how modern materials are creating more efficient, durable, and sustainable structures. Kudos to the team at Hoar Construction for leveraging these advanced techniques! #ConstructionInnovation #LWIC #LightweightCellularConcrete #LCC #SustainableBuilding #CivilEngineering #GeneralContractor #BuildingScience #HoarConstruction #ProjectShowcase

The South East Construction Slowdown? Over the past few months we’ve noticed a clear shift in the construction industry here in the South of England. In particular, demand for high-end residential projects seems to be slowing. As plasterers, dryliners, and finishers, we see first-hand how these changes affect not just contractors, but also the wider supply chain, trades, and ultimately the delivery of projects. It raises some important questions: Is this simply a short-term correction after a busy period, or the start of a longer slowdown? How are developers, architects, and trades adapting their plans? Could this create opportunities in other sectors (commercial, renovation, retrofit)? We’d love to hear how others in the industry are experiencing the market right now. Are you seeing the same slowdown, or different trends in your area of work? The more we talk, the better prepared we all are.

It is easy to think that new construction is not sustainable without seeing the full picture. Let's look at the comparison of the carbon footprint of these three cases: 1. Old building, 2. New Building and 3. Retrofitted old building. The answer is not always as obvious as it may seem.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗢𝗻 In construction, we often celebrate the big milestones, the foundation poured, the walls standing tall, the roof in place. But one of the most important steps is the one many people never notice: curing. Curing is all about keeping concrete moist and at the right temperature so it reaches its full strength. When done right, it prevents cracks, reduces shrinkage, and makes the structure last longer. But when it’s skipped or rushed, the hidden cost always shows up later, weak walls, high maintenance, or even unsafe homes. For affordable and sustainable housing, curing isn’t optional. Every shilling “saved” by cutting corners at this stage usually turns into ten times the cost in repairs or, worse, rebuilding. At Interlocking Blocks Housing Ltd, we treat curing with the seriousness it deserves, because durable homes begin with strong foundations. A house is more than walls and roofs; it’s safety, stability, and peace of mind for generations to come. The takeaway? What you don’t see during construction is just as important as what you do. 👉 If you’re planning to build, don’t compromise on curing. It could be the difference between a home that lasts for decades and one that starts failing in just a few years.

Bricks are one of the oldest building materials, celebrated for their durability and versatility. From common burnt clay bricks to eco-friendly fly ash options, understanding the different types of bricks is crucial for effective construction practices.

With the UK construction sector preparing for the implementation of the Future Homes Standard in 2025, the design of the building envelope will be critical in the delivery of energy efficient housing. Read more: https://bit.ly/4n8DJP1  #construction #housing #futurehomes 

Sean Dobson was recently featured in a Modular Building Institute article on the future of modular housing discussing the quality disadvantages with traditional stick-built housing. Since modular homes are built in controlled environments, they avoid many of the risks that come with traditional onsite projects. Materials are protected, processes are closely monitored, and the end product is consistently stronger. The result is housing with fewer insurance risks, fewer costly surprises, and greater durability for residents. Each home also undergoes extensive inspection throughout production, with far more checkpoints than a typical job site, ensuring consistent quality from start to finish. And with modern design capabilities, modular construction offers flexibility in layouts and finishes while still delivering precision at scale. As housing challenges grow, solutions that combine durability, efficiency, and flexibility become increasingly important. Modular construction raises the standard of quality while creating new ways to deliver homes that better meet the needs of today’s families and communities.
