EP #001 - There's Not Enough Time for Concrete
On today’s episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, our guest is Garrett Braun, a structural engineer. Garrett is the founder of Blue Nest Structural. We discussed what it’s like to open a new firm in the last year, how far the design of projects is by the time his engineering group gets involved, why do engineers not consider changing materials in concrete mix designs, and why buildings are not designed with more concrete.
