Featuring RJ Taylor Construction - a Custom Home Builder in Atlanta Georgia
For years I have told Reggie Eberhart of RJ Taylor Construction that I would make a video of the building of one of his homes… and I am finally making good on that promise.
This series will feature my clients, DeWayne and Susan Williams, in their quest to build their lifelong paradise - although they are not in this particular segment.
When we first found this lot, we weren’t sure that the house that they wanted to build would fit. After careful examination, it was determined that it would fit with some small modifications to the plan… but it was a squeaker.
The surveyors had to come out THREE times so that we could be sure it was right. In Gwinnett County, where this home is being built, they WILL make you tear down if you build across a setback or property line.
The first trip was to ascertain the boundaries. The next trip was to check the general excavation and mark the setbacks. The final trip was to verify the foundation forms were within the setbacks.
The foundation framing is literally within a few inches of the setback - but that’s all we needed. Inches or feet - it doesn’t matter. It’s all verified by the surveyors and inspectors, so we’re good to go.
This video segment follows the process once the forms are in place up until the walls have been poured. Since I still have other obligations, I was not onsite all the time - but you’ll still get a good feel for the way this type of construction is performed by the footage I have captured. I hope you enjoy it!
Excellent overview of the pouring stage of a home. This will be a great resource for those who are going to be building their own homes.
