2015 arrives at the job site of the LIV Apartments in Bellevue as crews work at a fevered pace on both the exterior and interior of phase one, and on the framing of the phase 2 East Building. At breaks in the weather painting crews are able to paint the cement board panel siding that the siding subcontractor installed.  Painting progress on the West and South Buildings is nearly complete so the focus has shifted towards the north building.

December has been a busy month at the LIV Apartments.  Progress on the East Building has reached level 3 as framing crews install wall panels and flooring.  This panelized method of installing wall panels is the quickest way of getting a building of this type constructed.  On average, framing crews can install an entire level of wall panels and floors in a good week.  By the time the January 2015 aerial update is posted it is entirely possible that the...

November 21, 2014

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...
