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...

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...
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...
