The Village of Bristol Oaks - Lot #33 - The Building Process

Watch Lot #33 Village of Bristol Oaks from start to finish.

Foundation forms in place with concrete poured.

The forms will stay in place for a day or more to allow the concrete to set up.

A double formed, poured concrete foundation allows for exterior

waterproofing and drain tile system that reduces water infiltration.

sleeve that reduces hydrostatic pressure on the foundation wall.

2 x 6 exterior walls in the lower level. I-joist, steel beam, LVL headers. All these features provide a stronger home thats "green"! A temporary gravel driveway reduces the possibility of construction vehicles tracking mud onto the street and reducing silt build up in drains and area streams. The black silt fence prevents erosion.

I-joist construction is an alternative to typical dimensional lumber, such as 2 x 10's. This benefits the environment by using less "old growth" trees. I-joist are strong, true to size, and stronger. This means you have a level, sturdy floor. What's better than a green floor that doesn't bounce like a trampoline? Note the steel I-beam?

Advantech subfloor sheathing is engineered for superior strength, moisture resistance and quality so we can build the quiet, stiff floor homeowners demand.

Stay tuned for more updates to the building process...
