Scope of Project:
Attic Completion
Project Manager:
Art Blanton
Location: Arboretum
area of south Charlotte
Elements: Complete
attic storage area into habitual area
Builder’s Perspective:
Customer wanted to complete an attic storage area into a suite of rooms for
a home office and closets. Two of the most critical elements to overcome in
the project were (1) the area, in it’s present condition, was not
structurally adequate to support a 2nd level and (2) construction
access was not an option from inside the home. To solve the first obstacle,
a supplemental floor system was added (by engineer design) to support the
new floor loads. The second obstacle was solved by removing a roof gable
vent in front of the home and enlarging it to accommodate materials and
construction entrance.
The installation of seven
skylights baths the entire area with an abundance of natural light
throughout the day. The skylights were ordered with low-E tint and blinds to
control unwanted solar gain. With customer selected colors, carpeting and
skylights you feel like you are enjoying the outdoors while inside.
Cost: In the low $
40000.00’s
Completion Time: 12
weeks
