Henry Residence Updates
Slab Poured & Framing Ready to Begin
This week we poured the slab for both the detached garage and the main house basement. Framing material has been delivered, and we’re officially ready to start the next phase. Exciting progress ahead!
Plumbing Check Completed
We use drone photography with augmented reality overlaying the plan to check for construction errors before the concrete is poured, many times avoiding costly repairs later in the process. The data can be also used for future reference if there is a plumbing issue even many years later.
Leveling Up: Slab Forming Begins
Forming the basement slab and detached garage is underway! This phase is all about creating the precise framework that will support the concrete pour. The crew sets up all structural edges, establishes correct elevations, and prepares for reinforcement—ensuring a strong, level, and long-lasting foundation.
Each step here sets the stage for everything that comes next. Progress is looking great!
Setting the Groundwork
Backfilling the foundation and grading the site are underway.
This step is all about preparing the land for long-term stability and proper drainage. By shaping the terrain and supporting the foundation, we’re setting the stage for a home that not only looks incredible — but performs well through every season.
Good drainage = a dry, durable, and healthier structure.
It’s one of those behind-the-scenes phases that makes all the difference later.
Sealing the Strength: Damp Proofing the Foundation Walls
Damp proofing in progress! This crucial step seals the foundation walls to prevent moisture from penetrating through the concrete. Unlike waterproofing, damp proofing is designed to stop soil moisture — keeping the interior dry and protecting the structure from long-term damage.
A properly damp-proofed foundation ensures durability, energy efficiency, and a healthy home environment. Every layer we apply helps protect what’s built above it.
Foundation Walls Going In!
Foundation walls are being poured — exciting progress as this home starts to take shape from the ground up!
Solid Foundations Taking Shape
Footers are in! The foundation is officially taking shape as the concrete has been poured and set. This stage marks a big step forward, creating the solid base that will support the structure above.
Next up: prepping for walls and vertical construction!
Footers Ready for Inspection
Footers are staked and formed — the groundwork is taking shape! Once we pass inspection, we’ll be ready to pour concrete and move one step closer to bringing this home to life. Every detail at this stage sets the foundation for what’s to come.
Clearing the Way: Site Grading & Debris Removal Underway
Our team is making great strides on-site! Today, we focused on grading the land and removing debris, preparing the foundation for the next phase of construction. Every step gets us closer to turning plans into reality.
Breaking Ground: Basement Excavation
Excavation is underway! We’re digging out the basement, shaping the groundwork that will soon become a key part of this home’s design. Big progress happening from the ground down!
Dirt Day in Action!
Our Grade-All is busy spreading fill dirt and shaping the site just right! Every scoop brings us one step closer to building something amazing. Foundations first, perfection always!
Groundbreaking Moment Ahead
With the building permit officially approved, we’re excited to start bringing in equipment and breaking ground. The journey from vision to reality is about to begin!
Green Light to Build!
We’ve officially received building permit approval! With the green light in hand, we’re ready to move forward and bring this design to life.
Every milestone brings us closer to turning plans into reality!
Building Permit Application Submitted—Next Steps Ahead
We’ve officially applied for the building permit—an important milestone that keeps the project moving forward. Excited for the next steps ahead!
Septic Permit Approved – Building Permit Up Next!
Septic Permit
Just got the septic permit in hand—one more step checked off the list!
Next up: applying for the building permit. Progress is picking up, and we’re getting closer to breaking ground.
Septic Permit Underway with Driveway Redesign
We’re still working through the septic permit process. To meet Environmental Health requirements, we made some redesign adjustments to the driveway. The updated plans have now been submitted for review. Moving forward step by step!
Waiting on Septic Permit
The septic permit has officially been applied for and is now waiting on approval from Environmental Health. This review process can take up to 3 weeks. Until it’s approved, we won’t be able to move forward with the building permit.
We’ll be sure to post an update once the septic is complete and the project moves on to the next phase!
Permit Prep in Progress
We’re currently gathering all the necessary documents to submit for permits — an important step to keep the project moving smoothly and on schedule. Getting all the paperwork in order now helps ensure a seamless approval process so we can move forward with confidence.
Stay tuned for more progress updates!
