We’re deep in the woods prepping the site for one of our most unique builds yet! In this video, we walk you through the site conditions, including blasting ledge, backfilling, below-slab footings, underground plumbing, and a frost-protected slab system. This custom home will feature a polished concrete slab and will soon be ready for a pre-fabricated panel install.
