For this year’s competition we have entered another highly impressive basement that we constructed for Brody Dernehl of The Dernehl Company. We drew the foundation on our in-house CAD system, which included 22 plan revisions due to changes by the architect. The project includes retaining walls for the pool, cabana and tennis courts. The huge house foundation contains an area for a bowling alley as well as a lowered section for a large theatre room.
Our second entry is a commercial project we worked on over the summer that came to us from Glenn Gilbert of Outsource Construction. While we do quite a bit of commercial work, this is the first time we have submitted a commercial project to the CFA Project of the Year competition. While not as large as some commercial projects, this one was highly technical. We constructed an architectural concrete wall that serves as the focal point to this dining/shopping area. The architect and owner were very specific about the look they wanted for the wall. To achieve this, we built custom, wood forms for each wall section. They were built on the ground and tilted into place with our boom truck.
We’d like to thank Brody Dernehl and Glenn Gilbert for their confidence in our ability to construct these exceptional projects.
