Being able to keep to our schedule and be cost-effective were important factors in selecting a builder. L-Seven exceeded our expectations in both areas. The project never had a change order and they were on and off our site in 42 days. What's more, problems with the design that could have slowed our project were identified in advance and solutions were provided that kept our project on track. They maintained a positive relationship with our building inspector and kept everyone in the loop as the project went forward. If you want a builder that will work with you and cares about the quality of the finished product, not just being finished, then have L-Seven Construction look at your project. We're glad we did!" Stocker Farms Inc. Snohomish County, Washington Pole Barn Perfection Attentive Dog Breeding Facility "Roy has been incredibly instrumental in the success of my dog breeding business. His knowledge of building a custom-designed breeding kennel was evident from the first contact I made with Roy. Before the project got started we sat down on many occasions and even visited other well-designed kennel facilities. We incorporated many design aspects that would help make my program and operation streamlined and easily cleanable as well as optimal for my Shepherd's mental and physical well-being. Because of Roy, I have one of the most idolized kennels in the breeding community, and my litters are all healthy and happy and well cared for!" Laura K. Snohomish County, Washington Specialty Building Two Story Garage/Art Studio "We are so happy with our building you built for us. It is perfect in every way. Someday, if you are in our neighborhood,we would love for you to drop by and sign the building. We think it is just as much artwork as the art that will be made inside it." Our very best Linda and Mike Mike and Linda King County, Washington Two Story Garage and Shop Riding Club Facility I worked with L-7 building three buildings for a local horse arena. Roy and his staff were easy to work with and completed the project in a timely manner. Shari C. Snohomish County, Washington Specialty Building Specialized Shop L-Seven Construction was the best to work with on our shop project. Roy was very communicative every step of the way. He helped us dial in our customization of what we needed for the shop spaces. The construction was quick and we really loved the finished product. I have referred several people to L-Seven since we finished our shop. He puts design and quality into his buildings and he's great to work with. Tiffany and Matt Snohomish County, Washington Garage and Shop Communicative Timely Experienced Garage Very impressed with Roy, you won’t find a contractor with more knowledge and experience building pole buildings. It is a fun process to watch how fast your building will go up. Would definitely hire L Seven again. Jon W. Snohomish County, Washington Specialty Building Jon W. Snohomish County, Washington Garage and Shop Accessory Dwelling Unit Roy arrives with a big smile, delivers impeccable work--on time and on budget, and everyone is smiling when the job is complete. Steve B. and Linda B. Snohomish County, Washington Specialty Building Pleasant Punctual Two story garage and shop I feel extremely fortunate to have discovered L Seven Construction when I was looking for a contractor to build my garage. Their salesman was professional and thoroughly answered all my questions with detailed explanations, examples and photos. I had a particular design in mind to fit my site, and their draftsman quickly produced the drawings, then went through several revisions as I added some details and made some small changes. Roy and his assistant maintained their construction schedule despite winter weather and finished as planned. I especially appreciate how Roy patiently answered my many questions as the work progressed. Their careful work is evident in the soundness of the structure and attention to detail. Even the building inspector told me these guys are good! Jim H. Snohomish County, Washington Two Story Garage and Shop We would love to hear about your experience with L-7 Construction! Let us know.

Our Process Building Process Methodologies Work Gets Done When We're Around Building Process Construction Site Building Process This slideshow shows the construction of a 36-by-36-foot building by L-Seven Construction. It highlights eight main stages of construction, from start to finish. While every building process is different and may involve additional steps or materials, these photos will give you an idea of what goes into this particular pole building. Take a look at the photos and descriptions to see how the building comes together. Construction Process Slideshow Setting Lines The first step is laying out the building. We set lines to establish reference points for accurate post placement. This first step is critical to ensuring the entire building is square, properly aligned, and correctly positioned on the site. Digging Post Holes Once the first step is complete, our team uses specialized equipment to dig the holes for the building's poles. These holes typically range from two to four feet in diameter, depending on the building's requirements. Standing Posts Once the holes are dug, our crew carefully raises and positions the pressure-treated posts that will support the building. Some posts exceed 36 feet in length, requiring careful handling and precise placement. Aligning Posts and Pouring Concrete Once the posts are positioned, temporary braces are installed to hold them in place. When the concrete trucks arrive, we pour the required amount of concrete into each hole to securely anchor the posts in the ground. Roof Framing We use a transit, a leveling instrument, to mark a consistent level line on every post. From this line, we measure upward to determine the placement of the roof trusses and downward to establish the height of the concrete slab. This ensures the building is level from the foundation to the roof. Framing Exterior Walls and Adding Roof Material Next, we install CCB vapor barrier insulation beneath the metal roofing. This provides insulation while helping prevent condensation from forming on the underside of the roof metal. Once the roof insulation is installed, we begin framing the walls using the commercial girt method, installing the boards horizontally to provide additional strength to the building. Siding Exterior Walls Because the front wall has large openings for overhead doors, the engineer requires additional structural reinforcement known as a shear wall. In this case, we used OSB for the shear wall. This reinforcement helps the building resist sideways forces from wind and earthquakes, providing greater structural stability. Because the front wall contains an OSB shear wall, we install house wrap over the OSB to protect it from outside moisture while allowing water vapor to escape. This is particularly important if the customer decides to heat the building in the future. Next, we install CCB insulation in the remaining walls to provide thermal insulation and help prevent condensation. Finalizing Building CCB insulation is installed on the outside of the three remaining walls, followed by the metal siding. We added wainscoting for an aesthetic look.
