Each year the Concrete Foundations Association of North America hosts a competition to highlight the most challenging and technical projects completed throughout the country. Herbert Construction has won awards in this national competition for the last 6 years in a row.
For 2017, it is no surprise that we have submitted two more projects into this contest for “Project of the Year”.
Bildon Construction and Development
The first project we entered was a very large basement and multiple retaining walls for Rick Fierer at Bildon Construction and Development.
This project was so large that the bidding process took almost two years to finalize due to the complexity and plan changes that needed to be made. There were drastic elevation changes (50’ change from the street to the first floor) that required 11 different footing sizes. In addition, there were multiple radius walls in the project totaling 773 vertical feet of angled corners.
t-Olive Properties
Our second entry was very technical and consisted of 6 phases of construction for Brian and Randy Schiltz of t-Olive Properties. There were several things going on with this project, including concrete walls for a pool house with a slab on grade, a garage addition to the existing house and a stairway wall. The most interesting part of this project is the elevated concrete structural slab that we constructed. This concrete slab is suspended above the garage to provide a lanai and open deck space as part of the renovation. To add to the complexity of this project, the site was located in Midtown Atlanta and the property lines were so close that it was difficult to access the job using traditional equipment.
We love doing projects like these and would like to thank Rick Fierer, Brain Schiltz and Randy Schiltz for trusting our expertise and including us on these challenging projects.
