Framing continues with the second floor. It is so amazing to watch a project come together like this. If you would like to tour the property or receive additional information please give us a call and we would be happy to meet with you. Contact Us.

A Few More Months and It Will Look Like This!

Second Floor Walls Going Up.

Interior Framing - Foyer Looking Towards Stairwell, Kitchen & Great Room.

View Into the Dining Room.

Another Unbelievable View From the Master Bedroom.

Back Exterior Elevation - Taken from Soon-to-Be Fire-pit Area.

HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE - STEP 3

2011-09-17T07:03:00.000-07:00

The Copper Creek is taking shape and beginning to look like a home! And a beautiful home at that!

Upon delivery of the lumber (which comes in phases as the particular materials are needed), the framing carpenters begin setting the main floor trusses. These extremely talented guys work to begin building the house from the ground up. First floor trusses > first floor walls > second floor trusses > second floor walls > roofing trusses.

Take a look at this weeks progress...

Beginning to take shape as the left side walls are up.

Great Room floors being set.

Incredible view from the Great Room overlooking the wetlands.

Looking towards what will soon be the Great Room & Dining Room.

Framing begins on the garage walls.

Until next time.

HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE - STEP 2

After finishing up the design and engineering work, we go "out to bid". When we are building a home, whether it be for a client or as a model, it makes the process much simpler when we begin the selections phase with our "design specifications" packet.

This packet includes everything from millwork to stone, as well as where you would like hardwood floors versus carpet. Although these selections aren't extremely specific or final, it does allow us to send the packet and the floor plan out to our subcontractors (plumbers, garage door suppliers etc.) who then provide us with their most competitive cost estimate. Everything from lumber to fireplaces are included and it provides us with a relatively exact breakdown of price.

As we work through these bids and continue with selections, the excavators are already working on clearing the lot and preparing it for the foundation. This phase is completed with waterproofing and draintile.

Moving dirt around... exciting to see the lot take shape... along with the beautiful views of Rusten Wood.

Setting the walls to begin pouring the foundation.

Until next time.

HOW TO BUILD A HOUSE - STEP 1

2011-09-07T14:54:00.000-07:00

Ever wonder what goes into building a house? We all live in some sort of house or apartment, but do we really know what went into making a pile of dirt and a truckload of lumber into a home? As we go through the process of constructing our Spring Preview model home, we would like you to join us on the journey of building a home, from the ground up.

So without further ado... meet the 'Copper Creek' model.

The first portion of the building and design process is typically a series of mark-ups that eventually dictate the final blueprint. On this particular home we went back and forth with our engineers and designers roughly 20+ times, of which 5+ were with the actual full scale blueprints.

Once we have approved the plan it gets sent off to the structural engineers, who then come up with a series of prints that are in a different language. Ok, so maybe they are in english, but they sure look foreign to me. Ooofta.

Upon receiving the full sets of prints, we submit a packet to the city and they work to approve our building permit.

Until next time.
