The Phinney Ridge project is a single-family, prefab house. Since our last update we have seen a few changes regarding the site and house. The framework for the foundation was built and the concrete was poured. The site is prepared for the prefab house to be dropped in. One of the benefits of prefabrication is the ability to work in a dry enclosed facility during wet seasons and maintaining the exposed materials during the construction phase. The building’s current state is...

The Theta Delta Chi fraternity building has undergone some serious remodeling.  There has been a lot of progress to the courtyard and rear of the building over the last couple of months.  But now it’s time to renovate the original building.  The exterior was retrieved to its historic state, with Ionic columns supporting the portico balcony, the shingled Gambrel roof, and the original style of shutters and windows.  The previous remodel’s vinyl siding and shutters were replaced with durable fiber...

October at the LIV Apartments was a busy month.  The most notable progress on site over the last month would probably be the framing of the North Building, which topped out at its highest point.  This signals the completion of the framing for phase 1 of the project.  The roof and waterproofing will soon follow in an effort to minimize the exposure to the moist fall weather. The East Building, adjacent to 156th Ave NE, underwent a quick transition as subsurface...

As progress at the Phinney Ridge Prefab project site continues since the demolition of the existing home, ongoing efforts on the home continues at the Method Homes factory in Ferndale, WA. Prefabrication of this home allows for a significantly reduced construction schedule, and also helps considerably for projects that are to be constructed in the wet fall and winter months of Seattle. Floor plans and designs are created in the same process as a stick built home.  Structurally, there are differences in...

October 3, 2014

The excavator is in the process of demolition of the existing home at the site of the new Phinney Ridge Prefab home project being careful for the neighboring homes and fences. Homes are no match for an excavator, also known as a track hoe.  The long reach of the boom and bucket is able to grab the roof of a home and crumple it to the ground with little effort. Stripped bare, even the existing concrete will be removed to make way...
