Darren Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 Here's some photos of a new building I started in May. Its a 3-story building w/underground parking. There are 5 retail spaces between the basement and 1st floor and theres 20 apartments on the upper 2 floors. The 1st floor is a 10" structural slab while the 2nd floor is a 12" structural slab. The 3rd floor is a wood truss deck.

Jim Katen Posted December 17, 2016 Report Share Posted December 17, 2016 What's the white feathery plastic clinging to the outside of the stem wall in the "foundation" picture? I've never seen forms lined with sheet plastic. Around here, elevated slabs like that are all post-tensioned nowadays. Is there a reason that the designers chose not to do it on this job, or is that not a common technique in your area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 Jim, The foundation wall is 18" think with a 6 inch brick shelf. The mason doubled up on 3" insulation as the shelf block-out and installed plastic between the insulation and the wall form. It was the first time I've ever seen the metal lath forms being used. It saved time and money; the forms were left in place after the pour; no stripping needed. In my 35 years of construction, I've done all structural steel building; this is the first structural concrete job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted December 18, 2016 Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 That's a serious build. Layout must have had you a little edgy, waking up in the middle of the night stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted December 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2016 If you look in the rebar photo, you'll see sleeves for plumbing, electric and HVAC. One of the stipulations on this project is nothing can penetrate the exterior walls. There are 20 apartments, all with gas fired direct vent furnaces. The exhaust and fresh air intact PVC must run up and out the roof. The good thing is the apartments are stacked; layout on 3rd floor is exactly as 2nd floor. After the slab forms were in place, we had to layout the apartment walls prior to rebar to install the sleeves. Most were good, however, some of the sleeves were next to a door and now have to be moved because of the door header is blocking passage. Photos will keep coming.

Steven Hockstein Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 I know that project well. It caused a lot of stir from the locals. You are working the next town over from my office. Give me a call sometime if you want to meet for lunch or a beer after work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted December 23, 2016 Report Share Posted December 23, 2016 You must have about 40 folks working onsite. The framing is going up fast. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted December 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Marc, Typically there are 15-18 wood framing carpenters on site. Several weeks ago they added 8-10 metal framers when we started the retail level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Posted January 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2017 The trusses are sloped about 8 inches towards the center; in photo 1 you can see the roof drains line up with the center of the stairwell. The product is VersiFlex PVC by Versico Roofing Systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
