Construction of the front porch has begun, the framing, roof, and railings are in place. The driveway and retaining walls were cast and poured. When the modules were set in place, a lot of the interior work was already completed at the factory. Prefabrication allows the...

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...

May 9, 2014

With the implementation of the 2012 Washington State Energy Code the requirements for air testing residential projects have changed to become more restrictive.  All new residences and additions in the state now require a blower door test to measure air leakage through the building envelope.  The test requires that air changes be less than 5 per hour, hopefully pushing towards tighter building envelopes and less energy consumption. Blower door testing may seem mundane and ordinary, but when the Godfather of Soul...
