Engineered Concrete Gallery

Basement walls have been stacked to main floor level.  Concrete has been placed.  Rebar is extended to tie to mail level walls, which will be built on top of the basement walls.  Rectangle in lower center of picture will be a safe room, covered with 4 inches of reinforced concrete.  After waterproofing, backfill earth will be placed almost to top of these basement walls.2

Main level walls have been laid, reinforced with rebar and filled with concrete.  Two pours were made because the front walls are 17+ ft tall.  Note elevated trapezoidal beam wall in right rear room.  Subfloor by others is above full basement.  Red membrane in front of house is extension of basement waterproofing above grade.  Flat roof slopes from left to right, and on a perpendicular plane on rear sunroom.
