Construction is more than just arranging the bricks and the steel in patterns. There are a lot of technicalities hidden behind it, and all those factors lead to the foundation for a better infrastructure; you might call it a home, building, or a monument. How your home gets built requires a lot of frameworks, planning and the arrangement of a better place to locate it.
Gorilla Building understands that building a home is more than just assembling steel and bricks. With over 26 years in Central Mississippi, the company has created a strong brand for itself while building both trust and walls along the way.
Phases of how actually your home is built:
- The planning & the blueprint
- Laying the foundation
- Skeleton or the framework
- Structuring of roof and sheathing
- Mechanical system and HVAC
- Finishing, Insulation and drywall installation
- Exterior& Interior touch up
- Final walkthrough and inspection
-
The Planning & The Blueprint
This stage frequently involves professional commercial general contractors who make sure that the design follows building codes and practical building processes.
- We check the location to see how good the soil is and how steep it is.
- We look over the local building codes and zoning laws.
- Plans for buildings are made, depicting the floor plans, elevations, and specifics about the structure.
-
Laying The Foundation
A strong foundation is the first step to a strong home. After the land has been cleared and leveled, the builders excavate the land to prepare the ground for the foundation.
Foundations can be:
- A slab-on-grade: It is a single layer of concrete that is poured directly onto the ground.
- Crawl space foundation: Raised with short walls or piers.
- Basement foundation: Deeper foundations to make more room for living or storage.
Carefully pouring and curing concrete keeps it from cracking and moving. Gorilla Building and its skilled commercial steel builders stress the importance of precision in every project to make sure your home stays strong for decades.
-
Skeleton or The Framework
After the foundation is set, framing gives your house its shape. Wood or steel make up the frame of your house. It shows how the hallways and rooms are set up. The walls, floors, and roofs are all put together at this point. Commercial steel builders often use steel framing to make sure everything is straight and strong.
-
Structuring of Roof & Sheathing
The roof frames are put in place, and the sheathing is put down to make the roof more stable. Most roofs are made of shingles, metal, or tiles. Commercial steel builders are very important when steel is used because they make sure the structure is strong and stable. This frame can hold up anything from drywall to roofs.
Once the structure is strong, roofing materials are put on to keep the weather and wear from damaging your home.
-
Mechanical System & HVAC
After sealing the structure, systems are added to the inside. This stage includes important installations like:
- Sewage and water lines
- Wiring and outlets for electricity
- HVAC stands for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
At this stage, commercial general contractors oversee making sure that different teams work together without stepping on each other’s toes.
-
Finishing, Insulation and Drywall Installation
Insulation is next. It keeps your home comfortable and energy efficient. After insulation is put in the walls and attics, drywall panels are put in place, taped, and smoothed out so they can be painted.
Adding insulation helps keep the temperature and energy use in check. After adding insulation, drywall is put up, seams are sealed, and surfaces are made smooth.
-
Exterior & Interior Touch Up
Your home’s beauty starts to show through, reflecting your own style and taste. Finishing touches make your personality come through:
- Add tile, wood, or carpet flooring.
- Install appliances, countertops, and cabinets.
- Connect all the bathroom and kitchen fixtures.
The exterior finish of a building makes it look better from the street and protects it from damage from the weather. Interior touch up makes it look and feel better, making it a polished, comfortable and personalized space.
-
Final Walkthrough & Inspection
After you give your builder the final approval, they’ll walk you through the house to check that everything looks and works the way you want. All the small details, like lights, doorknobs, and outlets, are already in place. After that, inspectors check the whole house to make sure it’s safe and follows all building rules.
