Benfield Remodel Project Details
Benfield Remodel
This semi-modern four-car ranch home offered several attractive features. In addition to a lovely Forest Heights location and double lot, the 4500 sf ranch home was originally designed for a second story addition. New owner purchased it with the intent of remodeling immediately to accommodate their family.
Demolition started in June. The first challenge was to have the main roof torn off, second floor built, and roof on by the fall rains. A true design build project (no detailed drawings, specifications, or interior designer initially involved), the sheer size of each phase of the 9,350 sf project required a well-planned approach to subcontractor scheduling to stay on track. The detailed schedule that was developed allowed subs to work concurrently throughout the project without impacting each others work, expediting the overall schedule.
The project's materials and systems created unusual challenges that were successfully addressed to complete the home on schedule, including mock-ups of critical details. Completed, the project provides the owner and his family with a beautiful home that creates an oasis of warmth and comfort.
