class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The earlier you start planning the materials you use, the less likely you\u2019ll be to run into problems with waste and miscommunication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll be able to lay out what\u2019s required in terms of resources, and the level of risk that you\u2019re comfortable with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It might be that discussions with your client indicate that you need a change of direction \u2013 but it\u2019s better to learn this early on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every project represents something of a balancing act when it comes to quality and cost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What matters is that your client is aware of the potential costs, and that you aren\u2019t going to need to readjust later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Evaluating_Performance_Helps_Contractors_Reduce_Rework\"><\/span>Evaluating Performance Helps Contractors Reduce Rework<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideally, your initial planning should provide you with the criteria you need to judge whether your chosen materials are actually going to be effective, and meet the needs of the client. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You might think about paying extra for extra durability, ease of installation, environmental soundness, and more. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/myfbm.com\/all-products\/drywall-board\/c\/drywall\">moisture-resistant drywall board might allow you to avoid problems<\/a> with your finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Certifications_Support_Better_Specification_Decisions\"><\/span>Certifications Support Better Specification Decisions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, not every client or contractor will be able to judge whether a given project is up to spec. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where third-party frameworks and certifications can play such an essential role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usgbc.org\/leed\">the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system<\/a> might help you to not only select materials that meet your criteria, but also to demonstrate to your client that you\u2019ve made the right choices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The system is designed to be applied to projects of all types and phases, ranging from retrofits to entirely new structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_Material_Innovations_Enhance_Interior_Performance\"><\/span>New Material Innovations Enhance Interior Performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many of the materials we use, like steel, bricks, and clay, have been around for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. But even older materials are being continuously developed and refined, and so it\u2019s worth being aware of the latest innovations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, you might make use of recycled metals, <a href=\"https:\/\/fsc.org\/en\">or FSC-certified timber<\/a>, to reduce the impact of your building on the natural world. The result, ultimately, might be a building that lasts longer and performs better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you want to deliver fantastic results as a contractor, then you\u2019ll need to be able to call upon the right materials.
