Roof Tiles Types - New Roofing Website Refocuses Attention On Time-Tested Construction Materials

To revive an age-old love affair that home owners and roofing contractors have had with roof tiles, a new website to showcase the advantages and benefits of roof tiles while describing the various roof tiles types was recently launched on Wednesday, March 13th 2013.

The creation of Bowker Roofing, a firm of experienced construction contractors who specialize in roofing, landscaping and home renovations, the website has already attracted over 3,000 visitors in the first day of publication. All over social media networks, people are buzzing about roof tiles, evoking pleasant and pleasurable memories of a halcyon period from our roof construction past.

"My grandmother's house was made of roof tiles," says Bowker Roofing engineer Marc Mangalam. "We lived in harsh summer conditions, yet the interior of our home was pleasant and cool. While it was no doubt scary to see the occasional scorpion or two under the tiles, overall those were lovely construction materials that are being ignored lately in favor of shingles and shakes."

With the modern obsession over shingle roofs and metal roofing materials stealing the show at any industry convention, it is time to bring back the public attention on a type of roofing material that still is relevant and cost effective. Roof tiles types are diverse and the website launched by Bowker Roofing will be showcasing many of these options to home owners, giving them an alternative solution for their home roofing needs.

The topics covered by the website, which is located at www.rooftilestypes.net, include roof tile materials, roof tile types, laying of roof tiles, a short history and overview of roof tiles, and a closer look into the reasons that make it such a popular option among home owners and building contractors alike.

Over time the plan is to add new content that showcases all the advantages of roof tiles for anyone involved in the construction industry, and develop it into one of the Web's most authoritative resources on roof tile types.

Bowker Roofing is located in Madras, India, the booming construction capital of the country where infrastructure growth is soaring and real estate prices have skyrocketed to a faster growth rate than even Tokyo, Japan. Bowker Roofing has 7 years of experience constructing homes and office buildings in the city and other parts of the state.

RoofTilesTypes.net is the website address of this new resource on roofing tiles. It will feature an option for home owners to get a free roofing quote from roofing contractors, as well as an online store where recommended products and materials as well as a list of qualified service providers will be created.

"We expect this to become the one-stop shop for home owners" says Marc Mangalam.

IMC Construction Leverages Technology to Complete 320,000 sf World Headquarters in 12 Months

The 320,000 square foot facility, developed by Trammell Crow Co. at the Atwater business park was designed by L2 Partridge. It includes two, new, 5-story buildings overlooking Quarry Lake with a 2-story connecting link and a 1-story parking deck for 420 cars.

Trammell Crow hired IMC and the designer to jointly fast track both the core and shell and tenant fit out which was expedited in preconstruction with IMC's Virtual Design and Construction Department (VDC). Using Building Information Modeling (BIM), IMC developed quantitative take-offs of preliminary drawings to aid with estimates and budgeting. BIM allowed site and foundation construction to begin while the building was still being designed. These computer models were also used for clash detection of system conflicts resolving constructability before construction, ultimately saving Endo time and money (see example of model below).

"This is an exciting time for IMC Construction as we complete the Endo Health Solutions Headquarters. The successful completion demonstrates the high level of performance of our staff along with the tremendous support that the project team provided."

"We would like to thank our client, Trammell Crow and Chambers Street Properties, their tenant Endo and the architect L2 Partridge for the support they provided over the last year to make this project a success", added Robert Cottone, CEO/President of IMC Construction.

The Atwater development sits on the former Cedar Hollow Limestone Quarry which was established in 1855 (click here for more information about the quarry). Since then the mine has become an 80 acre scenic lake which will afford Endo panoramic views. Due to the close proximity to the lake, a unique geo-thermal HVAC system was installed that utilizes a lake water cooling loop. Not only does the structure offer executive offices, a full service kitchen, cafeteria, training center and conference center, but also an on-site fitness center for employees as well. The project is also LEED registered with a certification goal of Silver.

Endo's new corporate headquarters addresses its continued growth, and will position Endo closer to the heart of the healthcare corridor in Pennsylvania, where nearly 100 other healthcare and life science companies currently reside. The joint construction of the new all-electronic interchange linking Route 29 in Great Valley with the Pennsylvania Turnpike on the Western edge of the 388-acre Atwater site and Endo's new headquarters will provide an economic boost to the Great Valley Corporate Center and surrounding areas.
