the building process begins. Following
are 10 easy steps outlining the general flow of events. Keep
in mind, options such as the installation of sheetrock, gutters,
electrical and plumbing fixtures, etc., will effect the production
schedule. Feel free to contact us.
We're happy to answer your questions about your next construction
project.
-
Permitting. Our designer
gathers information about your specific project, draws
the plans, and submits them to your city/county for approval.
There a many factors effecting the length of time for
a permit to be approved.
-
Locating utilities.
With the exception of water, a "locate company"
determines the exact location of all underground utilities.
Temporary paint is used to indicate these lines.
-
Excavation. First,
our "dirt crew" stakes out your site. Next,
our excavation crew levels the site and digs footings.
-
Footing inspection.
Our crew from Concrete, Etc. sets up concrete forms. Rebar
is put in place and the site is graded to ensure the slab
will be of uniform thickness. A city/county inspector
visits the site to confirm setbacks, rebar placement,
and footings are adequate and meet local codes.
-
Concrete. Our concrete
crew pours, places, and finishes the slab placing anchor
bolts and other hardware as necessary. Typically, concrete
is poured under favorable weather conditions only. And,
jobs are poured on a first-come, first-served basis. This
means your job may not be poured on the first nice day.
On the day we do pour, please ensure all vehicles are
out of the construction area and pets are contained.
-
Finishing the concrete.
Within a few days after pouring, we strip the forms, backfill
the slab, and complete light cleanup of your site.
-
Framing. Lumber is
delivered within a week of the slab being poured, and
framing begins shortly thereafter. Once the walls are
built, trusses are delivered, and framing continues. Depending
on the size of your project, framing can take a couple
days to a few weeks.
-
Roofing, doors, windows.
When framing is complete, your roof, windows, and doors
are installed.
-
Cleanup. Your building
is up. We collect all construction scraps, spread gravel
if needed, and complete any remaining backfilling or grading.
While we do not landscape your site, we are familiar with
landscaping companies and can give you a referral.
-
Final inspection.
City/county inspectors complete a final inspection. Your
satisfaction is very important to us, and we ask that
you let us know the results of that inspection as soon
as possible so we can promptly correct any problems.
