@AVRAME structural kit 120 going up in Rocky Mountains. Great product to work with so far. Subscribe for more videos on finishing this project. Thanks for the support & God Bless -
Too many folks concerned with the camera lens or quality of video. This is a construction video. They are not cinematographers. The other part is the part to focus on…the construction. I would be suspicious if these guys were GQ models with a team of videographers, personally. I found it interesting, guys! Wanna build one of these! I think the land around me would be massively expensive and if I could find some acreage without restrictions, it’d be off grid. Sounds romantic. But a single woman in a heavily snow covered area with dangerous freezing temps at times, may have to ponder that one pretty hard. Until my next life, I’ll keep watching and dreaming!
This is awesome to watch. We just ordered the Treo 150 for our lake front cottage build. Did you order the full structural kit or purchase your own number?
Thank you! I recommend ordering all structural components of the kit from Avrame. You can outsource interior framing and roof / wall sheathing and other materials like that if you like, that's what we did.
I um. My fist A-frame I built, my helper nocked me off the roof. Broke my back, hip, don't remember the fall but coming to, still a night terror to remember.
Great work! If only you were located in Northern Wisconsin, currently trying to find someone to build a Avrame Trio 150. Seems like many contractors are scared of “kits”… Any recommendations, could this be a self-build?
Find a way to get your foundation and concrete done by a professional and I'll come out for 2 weeks and erect the kit. You can do pretty much everything from there. Quality contractors shouldn't be scared of kits! If you have construction background or carpentry skills you could get the structural kit erected, otherwise I would not recommend. Hope this helps and good luck!
why in the heck didn't you put the subfloor down first so you could work safe. You also didn't need a crane to put those top pieces on if you had the subfloor down first. Two guys could have put them in place with a block and tackle very easily and maybe even quick. You could have even made the top pieces on the second level. You added a lot of extra cost and time by not putting that subfloor down first. This had to be your first house build. Just watching you work with not guards on the second floor and just pieces of OSB to walk on gave me the shivers!
@@Steadfastly7 Never find myself very compelled to respond to keyboard warriors with 100 years of construction experience. Those top truss rafters are around 18’ of LVL joining at an 18/12 pitch, two guys aren’t swinging that. Some of the wall struts weren’t perfect with this being a prefab kit so I didn’t slap sheets until I knew all hardware was installed and my floor was still square. We had those trusses and floor on in a week 😂 thanks for the comment God Bless
If they had regional teams i could see them selling more of these. Id buy one but dont think my local contractor could handle this and or it would cost a fortune
Hopefully we can get to the point where someone buys the product and the company gives me a call to erect the kit (if its in the region) for a lump sum fee. Great product but yeah you have to know what you're doing.
Yeah you need vertical dowels centered in the middle of your 8" wall to connect footings to stem wall. So if your footing is 16" wide you want them 8" from outside footing form. We usually tie our dowels in place before we pour footings but you can also cut and bend them so inspector sees them and stab them after you pour once your concrete has had time to set up.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Would you be open to sharing who you contracted to build this, and total budgeted build costs that you have estimated (without the land etc.)? We are looking into buying land and building an Avrame trio as well! EDIT: Just checked your profile and it appears you are the builder. Could you share a good email address for me to send you a note?
@@rumitaification yeah that's including the kit, well, foundation and septic. Prices have dropped a bunch so it's looking like it might be closer to the 250k range at this point
@@IRONHORSEhomes did you use a general contractor? Also how much did it cost to add utilities on the land? And approx how much would it cost for a general contractor to do this and are you able to finance the build with a construction loan?
@@iyabomarvel8506 I am a state licensed General Contractor. We typically charge 12-20% of the overall cost of construction to manage the project. email me at ironhorsecoconstruction@gmail.com for any other questions regarding pricing.
Basements are between 8-10'. Saved more than 60k by not doing the basement just in excavation and concrete costs, not to mention what interior finishes, appliances, etc would cost. Adequate space within the floor plan at more than 1500 square feet. Crawlspace still gives heaps of room for storage, etc.
The most useless building ever, I'm sorry, but every time you go in one, duck your head. A waste of materials and labor I was in an A Frame of sorts The base was 4 ft high and the frame mounted to that, thus no banging and ducking, nice set up.
