Exterior EIFS and wall studs

Hello Everyone,

This past week the exterior EIFS is being finished up.  Still needs to be painted on part of the building but mostly up.  Next week the cultured stone will be placed.  In the interior the wall studs are being put up.  The electrical and low voltage wiring has been started and hopefully next week the drywall will start to go up.  Also, not showing in the pictures, there was a lot of parking lot work done.  The storm drain pipes were placed and a storn drain and man hole was placed.  The storm drains were connected to the current drain in my current building parking lot.  This has caused a big mess in our parking lot.  Hopefully, this will be finished within the next week or two.

Here are updated pics:









SO next week, hopefully, we will have pics with cultured stone in place and some drywall going up.  We are on schedule and hopefully may be done by end of November! - NS

Starting on the Walls and Windows

Hello everyone,

This past week, the concrete floor was poured, the windows were put in, the brick work around the building was placed and they are starting the EIFS installation today.  Also the storm drainage reservoir installation has started.  The drainage has really wrecked havoc on our parking lot as there are piles of stone to be placed over the storm pipes.  A lot of crews are working at the same time, so parking has been limited as well.  We did remove the previous trees stump as well as it will be interfering with the concrete sidewalk.

Here are the updated pics:



Old tree stump grinded down.  We will have a side walk coming through here.

Side windows.  The 5 operatories facing east each have their own window.  The 6th operatory is facing North. 

Here you can see where the cultured stone will be placed and where the sign will be at the entrance.

The North East corner of the building.  The brickwork is going up.  The rest of the building will be EIFS.  A sign will also be placed on the north side of the building. 

Next week we should have the wall studs up, the ceiling drywall will be up and duct work will be started.  EIFS will be placed and next week the cultured stone work will be done.  We are on schedule and I hope we stay on schedule to finish in December.   I will get more pics to update soon God willing. - NKS

Framing complete - roof complete

Hello Everyone,

Last week the roofing/electrical and plumbing was placed and this week the floor will be poured.  The next two weeks should have a lot done. Once the concrete floor is set, the walls will be put up.  There will be parking lot work and and brick work done this next week as well.  It's amazing how high the building looks because it's one a hill and on high grading.  With the framing done, it's finally taking the shape that it will be when it is finished.

Here are some roof pictures and the finished framing pictures.


The building is finally taking shape.

This picture is from the sidewalk.  You can see how high the building looks because it's on a higher grade.



Here is the framing before the plumbing was placed:
