Real estate development is a complex and challenging process that involves a lot of moving parts. Developing a site for commercial development can take years. As part of the construction crew, Constructor’s Inc is involved in one part of this longer trajectory, but we thought we’d take a look at what it takes to prepare […]
On May 4th, 2021, passengers of a train in Mexico City did not expect their commute to end in chaos and tragedy. The metro overpass on the southside borough of Tlahuac collapsed, plunging the train—and everyone in it— to the busy intersection below. The actual cause of this collapse is still under investigation, but it […]
Aside from human innovation and imagination, one major factor that drives construction is the use and implementation of new technologies and new techniques to get the job done. If it weren’t for new innovations spilling into the construction industry, we’d likely still be digging trenches with shovels and limited to building one-story structures. Over the […]
Imagine going to work and knowing that a gust of wind could end your life. This was the reality for many of the workers—affectionately called bridgemen—on one of America’s most famous landmarks. Working so high up without safety nets and standardized safety precautions meant that an increase in wind speed could have catastrophic consequences. Life […]
Outside the construction industry, value engineering has become one of those terms that everyone says but not everyone understands. Even within the construction world, many people struggle to understand what it really means and how it can actually make a difference in project management, construction, and even site development. There are many ways to think […]
Any project, from pavement to large building projects, need to have a good foundation to have the most safety and longevity. People often think this strong foundation starts with the materials and structures that make up the bottom of the structure, but the true foundation is the soil below. Many projects are not built on […]
If you’ve ever driven across this great nation, you have seen them on the side of the road. In fact, they might have provided a much-needed respite from long hours of driving, lunchtime, the kids asking ‘are we there yet,’ the in-laws requesting bathroom breaks, or the occasional leg cramp. The beloved rest stop—in this […]
Why do we build? This question is at the center of why we love what we do here at Constructors, Inc. As we’ve explored in the past, the building of structures is a human necessity, as we require shelter to shield from the elements. Then one thing leads to another and as we construct shelter, […]
Mankind has always strived to build. Construction flows in our blood and aches in our bones. There is something inside of us that propels us to construct new structures, to manipulate the lands around us, to reach towards the sky (as the very story of Babel illustrates), and to make our homes better, bigger, our […]
If you take one look at the great American cities and stop to think that every single one of those buildings required a tremendous effort, we begin to realize how truly innovative human beings can be. It was in the midst of America’s worst economic depression that one structure was erected that exceeded all expectations […]
