Our Building Process

Once the design process is complete, our team begins construction.

After clearing the home-site, we begin excavation of the basement.

The foundation is one of the most crucial parts of a home. Accuracy and integrity are vital; this is why I keep this work in-house. We have much experience with complex foundation designs, and have often worked around challenges such as rock.

The basement concrete wall system is next. We only use solid, poured concrete. My experience has led me to believe that cinderblock work in this area will lead to cracks and leaks down the road.

Our next steps are basement plumbing and the basement floor. In some instances I have concern that there will be settling under the basement slab. In this case, preventative measures are taken.

Finally, the exciting process of framing begins. This usually takes 6-8 weeks and is usually perceived as a fast moving process. Notice that we use steel I-beams to allow large open spans and avoid columns in the basement. They cost slightly more, but are well proven and worth the price.
