Engineered Concrete Gallery

All steel joists are now securely in place.  Steel pan is being screwed to the joists in preparation for placement of 4 inches of standard weight 3000 psi concrete.  Composite pan requires no rebar.

Two men are finishing the fresh, darker colored concrete, which has just been place.  Now all six sides of the house are concrete, with structural steel support.  Let the wolf huff and puff; he’ll not blow this house down.  The lighter colored concrete was placed on the garage and apartment two weeks previously.

Steel hat channel has been screwed to the ceiling joists, which will receive sheet rock ceiling.  Here foam is being sprayed to the bottom of the steel deck as insulation.  All utility lines – electrical, plumbing supply, mini-split HVAC – have been placed within the joist layer, routed through the preformed holes of the joists.  Plumbing and exhaust vents were routed to exit under the soffit; no penetration of the roof exists.

The exterior walls of this apartment and the house were covered with colored stucco.  High efficiency and secure windows and doors which we distribute were manufactured by Heinzmann, supplied by European Windows.  An LVL serves as the sub-fascia, latter wrapped.  Gutters were placed on the lower side of the ¼ on 12 pitch roof of both buildings.
