160 loads
or 2,000 yards of fill dirt were needed to make a usable building
site for this beautiful home. Since this obviously meant a higher
cost and longer timeline for the homeowner, site preparedness
is definitely a consideration to make when you are looking for
your land. The gain of a 180°+ view was the counterbalance
for the money spent on dirt, rocks, and excavation. |
The use
of stucco and stone will help keep outside maintenance to a minimum. |
Although
not a requirement, the use of quality materials is always favored
by Complete Construction. Remember to express your desire to
use only quality materials in your project to your designer and
contractor, as this may be an area where someone will skimp to
save money, or come in with a lower bid. Pay attention during
construction to be sure they follow through. |
Local logs
were machine peeled and then hand-carved and stained by our crew.
Synthetic rock was laid with minimal mortar to give the appearance
of a "dry stacked" method used by stone masons in the
area, throughout history. |
Metal railing
is not only maintenance-free, it leaves an unobstructed view,
and is less expensive than all log. We used log posts to match
the houses's use of log accents. |
This dry-stacked
synthetic stone fireplace is visible throughout all three floors.
Giving the owners two fireplaces with only one chimney--very
stunning and cost effective. |
Intricate
roof lines can be impressive from the inside. This tongue-and-groove
ceiling shows our craftsmanship, and how wood warms a tall room.
Many roof lines will add a considerable amount of cost to a home. |
Excellent
placement, size, and quality of windows will give a passive solar
gain to your home and help keep energy cost down. But beware,
the sun will bleach your wood trim, doors, carpet, and furniture! |
