The panel includes a water resistant barrier layer secured atop its outward facing surface. The water resistant barrier layer includes a skid resistant surface. The panels are made of lignocellulosic material. The water resistant and skid resistant surface may include indicia for aligning strips of tape or for aligning fasteners. A method for manufacturing the water resistant building panels is also disclosed and includes the steps of feeding paper onto a forming belt, depositing lignocellulosic material and the binding agent onto the forming belt so as to form a lignocellulosic mat, applying heat and pressure so as to impart the skid resistant surface on the paper, and cutting panels to predetermined sizes.

In a computer-implemented method and system for capturing the condition of a structure, the structure is scanned with a three-dimensional (3D) scanner. The 3D contact scanner includes a tactile sensor system having at least one tactile sensor for generating 3D data points based on tactile feedback resulting from physical contact with at least part of the structure. A 3D model is constructed from the 3D data and is then analyzed to determine the condition of the structure.

A portable shelter framing system is disclosed herein. The portable shelter framing system includes a plurality of corner support assemblies; a plurality of crossbeam members, at least some of the crossbeam members configured to be connected between a pair of the plurality of corner support assemblies without the use of tools; and a plurality of roof frame members, each of the roof frame members configured to be coupled to one of the plurality of corner support assemblies or one of the plurality of crossbeam members without the use of tools. In one or more embodiments, each of the plurality of corner support assemblies of portable shelter framing system comprises spaced apart apertures disposed at the top thereof, each of the spaced apart apertures configured to receive a respective downwardly extending portion of one of the plurality of roof frame members.

An occupiable building and a method for constructing an occupiable space in a structural frame building are disclosed. In an embodiment, an occupiable building includes a structural frame defining a footprint of the occupiable building, at least one lower deck structure located within the footprint of the structural frame and supported by the structural frame, at least one upper deck structure located within the footprint of the structural frame and supported by the structural frame, and an interior partition system installed between the lower deck structure and the upper deck structure to define an occupiable space, the occupiable space having a ceiling. The interior partition system includes first king post assemblies, a lower panel, and an upper panel. The lower panel is fastened to the king post assemblies and to the upper panel. The upper panel is fastened to the king post assemblies and to upper panel.

An apparatus that provides a durable protective covering over portions of a roof peak, including a roof ridge. Also disclosed are methods of protecting the highest elevations at the intersections of roof panels from bird damage caused by roosting of bird pests.

Building insulations, building insulations systems, and related methods are provided. A building insulation can include an insulation body having a bottom surface and a top surface. The insulation body can be configured to reduce conduction of heat through the insulation body. The building insulation can include a facing secured to the bottom surface of the insulation body. Further, the building insulation can include a plurality of reinforcing straps secured between the facing and the bottom surface of the insulation body. The reinforcing straps is spaced apart from one another and provide reinforcing strength for attachment of the building insulation to a building.
