This project, though small, had many challenges throughout. The difficult, rough terrain created multiple challenges, including a steep elevation change required to access the site from the county road. This made it necessary for us to produce a temporary concrete road with a rough, “boat ramp” finish to provide enough traction for construction equipment access.
The height of walls and the location were designed to maximize the view of the lake. The steep grade required multiple footing steps in the garage specifically. There was additional steel structural design to support hollow-core precast panels and hot-tub structure steel frame.
Our work gained the respect of local contractors and businesses who have worked and continue to work on this project, and this respect has been reciprocated.
