538 The Shores Custom Home Build - Update 4/12/17
Construction crews at Cayman Structural Group have been hard at work on a plethora of commercial and luxury home construction projects.
This project is a 5,000 square foot custom luxury home located in The Shores at West Bay. This well-established, gated community features canal front properties and breathtaking views of the serene blue water just a few steps outside. Once complete, this luxurious private residence will boast 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and breathtaking canal front views all while employing ultra-strong insulated concrete form (ICF) construction.
Custom Home Construction
After groundbreaking on January 16, crews have been hard at work constructing this one-of-a-kind luxury home. After surveying and measuring the site, dump trucks and bulldozers and other heavy equipment unloaded and moved material to make the lot more suitable for home construction. After measuring and marking for walls and plumbing, construction crews began digging lines to lay pipes, rebar, and other building components before pouring the concrete construction. Since, they have poured the concrete foundations and have started to erect the walls of the structure using insulating concrete form (ICF) blocks. These blocks are pieced together like building blocks, then concrete is poured in the wall cavity to act as a strengthening and insulating material. Using this technique, construction crews are able to erect walls and other structures quickly and easily.
Most recently, work has begun on the floor beams for the second story of this custom home. Workers cut and prep rebar in order to form the beams. Once concrete is poured over the rebar supports, the wooden molds and supports will be removed and work will begin on the floor of the second story. Wooden and metal bracing was temporarily installed as concrete was pumped into the walls constructed of ICF blocks. The second floor is taking shape as work continues one this unique luxury home. Crews have cut and installed rebar to form the floor of the second story. They completed the floor by pouring concrete and are now busy framing out exterior windows for the second story and installing ICF blocks to build up the walls of this custom home.
This project has been moving along quickly, so be sure to check back often for more updates.
