Hi @Jordan DSilva Nice to meet you. I am DFW based RE developer (MF & Flex Industrial). Great to be connected.
For the Developers in the room...
This is a huge debate on our development projects. PEMB vs Tilt vs Wood Frame construction. Which do you prefer and why?

For northern markets with heavy snow, is tilt-wall generally more structurally stable or better suited than PEMB, or can a properly engineered PEMB provide similar performance?

@Yog Melwani Good to know. Thanks
The IBC 1/3 Rule for Mezzanines
I have reviewed quite a few drawings for major small bay developments - 50+ bays. About half get it right, and the other half is bird shot (large spray of data points for those of familiar with the term). Mezzanines may only cover 1/3 of the open floor area - not 1/2 or 2/3 or 100%. Although there are exceptions to every rule, 99% of the time small bays fall under IBC 505.2.1. So, for a 1,000SF SB unit, the max sized mezzanine that can be installed is 333SF.

@Matthew MacPherson good to know that Mezzanines may only cover 1/3 of the open floor area. What are exceptions?

Mezzanine impacts to $/SF
Had a great call with @Jordan DSilva today, and an interesting question arose…does an installed mezzanine square footage directly translate 1:1 $/SF? For example, 900SF unit at 1$/SF rents for $900, does the added 300SF mezzanine add another $300 to the rental cost, or is the mezzanine space discounted?

Looking forward to hearing the answer to this question as well. I’ve seen a few listings for sale marketed with mezzanine SF included in the total square footage, but I’m not sure what the standard practice is, especially when it comes to leasing.
