| Color and performance of paints from design to delivery |
| |
|
What is in a can of paint? It is more than color. Paint can evoke certain feelings, both positive and negative, and plays a crucial role in the anticipated outcome of a space. When it comes to pigments, there is much more to it than aesthetics. The genetic makeup of a pigment and coating can help provide desirable performance characteristics.

| Using masonry for wet flood-proofing |
| |
|
Dry flood-proofing implies a new design for a structure or retrofit additions to an existing facility that prevents the entry of flood waters. This includes proactively avoiding lower openings or permanently sealing them, retrofitting waterproof closures to lower openings, or providing temporary waterproof membranes or barriers to block flood water intrusion. A common, last-minute dry flood-proofing technique is to wall in the structure with sand-bags, thereby blocking rising flood waters. Wet flood-proofing, on the other hand, involves an intentional design process to allow water to enter a structure built with flood-resistant materials.

| MARKETSHARE OF VARIOUS PROJECT DELIVERY METHODS |
|
CSI defines as project delivery methods: design-bid-build/design-negotiate-build, owner-build, construction manager as agent or advisor, construction manager at risk, and IPD. Is anyone aware of any citable sources that present estimates of the proportion of each delivery method in the U.S. construction market?
