Envelope #31: Cliff notes for “Type of Construction” and why you might care as a structural engineer

Happy Thursday! Andy from Back of the Envelope here – this is where I share fun-ish SE-related things (plus a dad joke), all in 5 minutes or less.

(My goal is to, hopefully, help you learn something, have a quick laugh, and maybe share it with your friend/coworkers – in less time than it takes to open a Revit model!)

Today’s email is going to be about the “Type of Construction.”

But by being somewhat informed, we can understand and speak “the language” a little better with clients.

Let’s dive in!
