The most valuable resource that any company has is its people. That’s exactly how the leaders at Sol-Ark feel. They invest in their staff and have a strong culture. In the spirit of showcasing their team, their Energy Unplugged podcast, hosted by Hilary Kennedy, placed the spotlight on Brendan King, Production Assistant Manager. Kennedy and King chatted about his story, role and experiences.

King’s arrival at Sol-Ark came through friends already working here. He asked about positions, and within a few weeks, he joined the team. “I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere here,” he said.

A student in supply chain logistics, King was looking for real-world experience, and the role has delivered that and more. “There are a lot of experienced people at the company. They have taught me a lot and put their faith in me,” he shared.

King is known for his attention to detail both at work and in his free time. He explained his passion for diet and fitness. “I wanted to get in shape after high school. The calorie counting isn’t fun, but time in the gym is. It’s a good time to bond with friends.”

That camaraderie is something he feels at Sol-Ark, as well. “The company is so successful, yet so laid back like a family. We know how to be in work mode, but we are close. We have each other’s back, and that makes the cooperative work more successful.”

King had some parting advice for others new to the workforce. “Interview the company, as well. Money isn’t always the priority. A company that cares about you is more sustainable long term.”

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox sees panelized buildings growing 5.3% a year if panel plants keep up

IndexBox forecasts the global panelized buildings market to grow 5.3% a year from 2026 to 2035, with residential housing at about 45% of 2026 demand. Factory capacity is the catch. Limited mass timber and specialized steel framing capacity will hold growth back in some regions, and IndexBox expects investment in new plants and automation to ease those bottlenecks by the late 2020s.

  • 01Panels swap scarce framing crews for factory hours, and through the late 2020s the factory hours for mass timber and specialized steel framing are scarce too.
  • 02Housing is 45% of panelized demand, but commercial and institutional projects are expected to grow faster because owners are paying for schedule certainty; warehouse and campus owners are closest to that shift.
  • 03Volumetric modular plants are estimated to need 60% to 70% utilization to break even, so the useful question for a panel supplier is how far out the specific production line is booked.

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Requests for Paebbl's carbon-storing cement substitute far outstrip what it can produce

Rebond 300 replaces up to 30% of cement in concrete with no equipment changes. In a Holcim and Goldbeck floor slab trial at C30/37, its workability, setting time and finishing matched the reference mix. Demand exceeds what Paebbl can produce, and closing that gap is now its main challenge.

  • 01Once a carbon-storing binder clears a standard ready-mix plant and a C30/37 pour with no schedule change, the question that decides adoption is supply: how many tonnes, at what price, in what share of the mix.
  • 02If Rebond 300 displaces up to 30% of cement yet can cut embodied carbon by up to 40%, the figures imply a negative footprint beyond simple substitution; Paebbl cites a verified -149 kg CO2e per tonne of product, with results depending on mix design.

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

ABC's Hensel Phelps Diverge partnership puts field tests ahead of vendor demos

Carolinas contractors need field-tested evidence on new tools now. ABC's Construction Backlog Indicator reached 8.7 months in September, yet more than a quarter of contractors expect thinner margins.

  • 01A contractor with 8.7 months of work booked has time to pilot new tools. A contractor expecting thinner margins has less room to pay for a tool that only worked in the demo.
  • 02Diverge tests construction tools in controlled pilots and on active jobsites, and ABC can pass along what holds up. Contractors still need to choose what to pilot and define the metric that will decide it.
  • 03In South Carolina, a 1099 specialist brought in to run a tech pilot faces two separate state classification tests. Passing one does not settle the other.
