The plan dedicates $35 billion to research and development on decarbonizing the industrial heat used to make construction materials like concrete. There is also investment in developing material alternatives and finding a way to sequester captured carbon into concrete products.

Biden’s plan also calls for $100 Billion in school infrastructure spending. We’re a part of the @BuildUSschools coalition and will continue to advocate for $130 Billion worth of school updates and replacements. https://t.co/i6zGQQsdYg

How facade design and material choices can have a huge impact on fire safety: https://t.co/YdXOXYdyOl Exterior fires can be as dangerous as interior fires; combustible exterior wall systems present an increased fire hazard (even during installation)

According to a study by US Forest Service, a #CLT structure is 5-7% more expensive than light frame wood construction in #affordablehousing. With the rising cost of wood, masonry structures are cost-competitive and provide so much more durability that affordable housing needs.

While the cost of materials like softwood lumber, plywood, and steel have escalated over the last year, clay brick and other materials commonly found in masonry construction remain steady, making it a cost-effective building solution. https://t.co/1zKY80L8Jc

Ashley Ritchie, BAC Local 8 New Brunswick member, has made it her mission to inspire girls and young women to take up careers in the trades. Now, she'll get to do that from the pages of this fun coloring book by New Boots - Progressing Women in Trades / Nouvelles Bottes.

Because the building codes allow for brick to be re-used as a building material, brick is great for sustainable and adaptive re-use projects. Could concrete paving units get similar results? https://t.co/nYvaKlMwC6 via @fultonsun

Although we will miss seeing you at #A20Con, the hand sanitizer that was originally planned for conference attendees won't go unused. Earlier this week, we were honored to donate 14 boxes of hand sanitizer (over 2,000 bottles!) to @GWHospital staff & the @RedCross. Thank you!

[Gresser Companies @GresserCo]

Gresser Companies recently completed the masonry veneer work on the Pillars of Prospect Park. The 11-story senior
assisted living and memory care facility required 100,000+ pieces of face brick and 10,000 SF of stone and burnished CMU.

Another wood frame building on fire; when will the building codes take notice @IntlCodeCouncil #woodburns

[Brian Trimble @bricktrimble]

French public buildings will need to be rebuilt 50% sooner than buildings of concrete or masonry due to rot and deterioration - maybe not so environmentally-friendly as first thought https://t.co/gh2c7XPdKy
