Benchmark General Contractors, Inc.: August 2010
http://benchmarkgeneralcontractors.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Benchmark General Contractors, Inc. Friday, August 13, 2010. A House Too Big. It’s interesting that most clients lament about designing for “resale” and yet most give in to this unknown entity and add the bathtub or formal dining room or whatever. I usually tell clients that unless they have very bizarre tastes, if they like it, most likely some future buyer will also. The “marketplace” appears to be telling us something. But are we listening?

Benchmark General Contractors, Inc.: Shifting the Suburban Paradigm by Allison Arieff
http://benchmarkgeneralcontractors.blogspot.com/2011/10/shifting-suburban-paradigm-by-allison.html
Benchmark General Contractors, Inc. Tuesday, October 4, 2011. Shifting the Suburban Paradigm by Allison Arieff. Now that the housing market has bottomed out, what’s next? New ways of thinking about “home” are overdue. Is there anything made in America that’s less innovative than the single-family home? Fulton hasn’t really changed anything about the homes they produce, regardless of what has happened over the last several years. They’ve simply hired more sales guys. No doubt you can &...Lake FlatoWith La...

Benchmark General Contractors, Inc.: The Best Legislature Money Can Buy
http://benchmarkgeneralcontractors.blogspot.com/2011/04/best-legislature-money-can-buy.html
Benchmark General Contractors, Inc. Tuesday, April 19, 2011. The Best Legislature Money Can Buy. I once referred to a past Legislature as a festival of whores, which in retrospect was a vile insult to the world’s oldest profession. Today’s lackluster assemblage in Tallahassee is possibly the worst in modern times, and cannot fairly be. Just what Florida needs — more telemarketers! Bills are also sailing through the House and Senate that will allow Florida Power and Light to raise your electric rates for ...

Benchmark General Contractors, Inc.: May 2010
http://benchmarkgeneralcontractors.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Benchmark General Contractors, Inc. Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Get the Lead Out. Anyway, the ban on lead paint started in 1897 when Australian doctors discovered that there was a connection between lead paint and childhood illnesses when they noticed that children who were eating lead paint from porch railings were getting sick. This conclusion led European countries, such as France, Belgium, Austria and Great Britain, to ban lead-based paint in the early 1900s. Benchmark General Contractors, Inc. The rece...

Benchmark General Contractors, Inc.: Can the World Feed Itself?
http://benchmarkgeneralcontractors.blogspot.com/2011/09/can-world-feed-itself.html
Benchmark General Contractors, Inc. Monday, September 5, 2011. Can the World Feed Itself? By BRIAN M. CARNEY. As befits the chairman of the world's largest food-production company, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe is counting calories. But it's not his diet that the chairman and former CEO of Nestlé is worried about. It's all the food that the U.S. and Europe are converting into fuel while the world's poor get hungrier. Mr Brabeck-Letmathe has extensive experience at the intersection of food, politics and developm...

Benchmark General Contractors, Inc. Thursday, October 14, 2010. It is not easy to reinvent the wheel, but researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are giving it their best shot. But, said Carlo Ratti, the laboratory’s director, “biking can become even more effective than what it was”. What the lab is working on, he said, is “Biking 2.0”. The sleek red hub, called the Copenhagen Wheel, was to be unveiled on Tuesday in Copenhagen. It can be retrofitted to any bike’s rear wheel, an...The lab...
