Building Floor

[mountainview]

Does anyone know how long it takes to put up the floor on a 24/44 post and pier home.

If the shear walls and pad arent done yet:
How level is the house pad? is it +/- 1" or less? And who is doing it? People who already know what the shear walls corners should look like?


Russell Cruz (895-7118), with a four man crew, can do a floor in about 2-3 days if shear wall concrete is in, and all materials are on site when they start.

So far the shear walls are in and the bolts and iron are in it's waiting to get inspected so they can pour the concrete in. It looks like the sheer walls are about 1 feet high.

On our house it took two of us about five days to set the post on the piers, layout and level girders and lay the T&G flooring. If you had a full experienced crew it shouldn't take more than two to three days tops. Proper layout is what takes the longest but is the most important part of the floor. It HAS to be level and flat.

we are currently waiting for our sheer walls to get inspected so they can pour the concrete. It's amazing how long it takes to get from point a to point b. We've spent more time waiting then building. What else should I expect regarding inspections and the house going up?

It should take about six to nine months to build your house. If it happens quicker, then you can be ahead of schedule!

The carpenter that I hired previously said he could do the framing in 10 days- 2 weeks at the most. Was he telling the truth?

You ask US questions based on the vaguest, barest of information - not good IMHO, because the answer may assume different things. I would suggest you talk with your guy in great detail, come to a true meeting of the minds if possible.

Was he truthful as to framing time? Depends how you define what you expect done and how he defines what he expects to do. If they agree great, but they might not. Other than your 24X44 on post and pier we have no idea what is involved - 4 straight walls, 8ft ht, minimum doors and windows? or something much more complex with bumpout, baywindows, recessed entries, varying hts etc etc

There are many variable to the building process, some obvious, some less so.

What factor does weather play in your questions? If we get 40 days/nights rain like last year does that count?

I applaud your efforts to be on top of things.

I agree with David. All the variables can affect time frames. One of the biggest ones is materials on site. Having material delivered the day the guys are supposed to start is a mistake many people make. Hpm's and Argus's morning delivery can be 11:59 AM when you may be thinking 8:00 AM!
