- Our Process | L-Seven Construction
Our Process Building Process Methodologies Work Gets Done When We're Around Building Process Construction Site Building Process Welcome to the detailed slideshow showcasing the construction process for a roughly forty by forty-foot building by L-Seven Construction. While this presentation highlights eight key sections of the build, it's important to note that each project is unique and encompasses additional nuances that set it apart from the rest. At L-Seven Construction, put everything into our work, and this slideshow provides a comprehensive overview of the craftsmanship and attention to detail that goes into every project we undertake. We invite you to explore the intricacies of our construction process, gaining valuable insights into the steps involved in creating a high-quality structure. Construction Process Slideshow Setting Lines Our first step is setting lines for future measurements. This serves the crucial purposes of establishing reference points, ensuring proper alignment, enhancing safety, and improving construction efficiency. These initial steps lay the foundation for a successful construction project, setting the stage for accurate and precise construction processes. Digging Post Holes After achieving the first step, our team proceeds with the next crucial step: digging holes of optimal size using specialized equipment. These holes typically range from two to four feet in diameter, providing the necessary groundwork for securely setting the poles in place. At L-Seven Construction, we prioritize adherence to building codes and safety standards, and this includes meticulous attention to hole dimensions to maximize our buildings' structural integrity. Setting Posts Following the ground preparation process, the next crucial step involves setting the posts in the meticulously dug holes. This task requires the careful handling of high-quality pressure-treated posts, some exceeding 36 feet in length, and securely placing them in holes spacious enough to accommodate a full-grown adult. Aligning Posts and Pouring Concrete Once the posts are meticulously positioned in their respective holes, our expert team diligently proceeds to prepare the site for the subsequent steps in the construction process. This includes ensuring proper alignment, verifying stability, and making any adjustments to guarantee a solid foundation in preparation for concrete. Upon the arrival of the concrete trucks, we proceed with the crucial step of pouring the necessary amount of concrete into each hole, effectively securing the posts in the ground they occupy. Constructing Roof Foundation Next in the construction process is the crucial step of building the roof, which serves as a protective shield against the elements. An essential consideration during this phase is ensuring that the distance between the posts at ground level matches the distance between the top of the posts. This alignment is critical to maintaining structural integrity and ensuring a uniform and visually appealing end result. Framing Exterior Walls and Adding Roof Material Once the roof structure is established, we proceed to enhance the support of our projects by framing the posts. At L-Seven Construction, we utilize high-quality 2x6 inch boards as the standard framing material for our posts. This choice ensures robust reinforcement and durability for your structure. In addition to framing, we take extra measures to safeguard your construction against water infiltration. We apply additional materials to the roof, creating a watertight barrier that prevents seepage. Siding Exterior Walls To bolster the structural integrity of the building, we incorporate external siding that serves a dual purpose. Not only does it offer protection against the elements, but it also enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of the structure. At L-Seven Construction, we recognize the importance of a visually pleasing exterior that reflects your style and preferences. Our range of siding options allows for artistic design choices, enabling you to customize the look of the exterior walls. Finalizing Building After applying the exterior metal to the building, we meticulously prepare the construction site for our highly skilled subcontractors to take over and complete the remaining work. Our ultimate goal is to deliver a finished product that surpasses your expectations, which is why we entrust the final touches to the industry's finest contractors through our subcontracting process.

Equipment Shelter: In industrial settings, open-end bays can serve as equipment shelters or storage areas for machinery, construction equipment, or agricultural tools. Agricultural Use: Open-end bays are commonly found in agricultural buildings, such as barns or sheds, where they provide a sheltered area for livestock or farm equipment while allowing animals to access the outdoors freely. Overhangs Overhangs Overhang Overhangs on building roofs refer to the portion of the roof that extends beyond the exterior walls of the building. They are horizontal projections that provide coverage and protection to the building's walls, windows, and doors from the elements. No Overhang A "no overhang roof," also known as a "flush eave" or "eave-less roof," is a type of roof design where the roof edge is in line with the exterior walls of the building, resulting in no overhang or eave extension beyond the walls. Skylights Skylights Skylights are architectural features that are installed in the roof of a building to allow natural light to enter interior spaces. They are essentially windows in the roof, made of transparent or translucent materials, such as glass or acrylic, which provide a direct view of the sky. Natural Lighting: The main function of skylights is to bring natural sunlight into interior spaces that might otherwise have limited access to natural light. Aesthetics: Skylights can enhance the overall aesthetics of a building's interior. The addition of natural light can make spaces feel more open, bright, and visually appealing, adding to the overall architectural design. Venting Venting Eave Venting Eave venting, also known as soffit venting, is a method of providing ventilation to the attic space of a building through vents located in the eaves or soffits. The eaves are the horizontal, overhanging edges of a roof, and the soffits are the undersides of the eaves. Roof Venting Roof venting, also known as attic ventilation, refers to the practice of providing a means for air to flow in and out of the attic space of a building. It involves the installation of vents and openings in the roof or at the roof's ridge to allow for proper air circulation. Wainscoating Wainscoating Metal wainscoting is commonly used in commercial buildings, modern residential structures, and industrial facilities.

It is made from real hardwood, providing a durable, natural, and visually appealing surface for various applications. Wood flooring is available in different types, species, finishes, and installation methods, catering to a wide range of preferences and styles. Insulations Insulations Insulations are used in buildings for various purposes, primarily to improve energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and soundproofing. It involves installing materials that resist the flow of heat, preventing its transfer between the interior and exterior of the building. Thermal efficiency: Insulation helps in reducing heat transfer, keeping the building warmer in cold weather and cooler in hot weather. This leads to a more comfortable indoor environment and reduces the need for excessive heating or cooling, thereby lowering energy consumption and utility costs. Energy conservation: By reducing the demand for heating and cooling, insulation contributes to overall energy conservation and helps in making buildings more environmentally friendly. Condensation control: Proper insulation prevents the formation of condensation on walls and ceilings by keeping the surfaces closer to room temperature, which helps in preventing mold and moisture-related issues. Fire resistance: Certain types of insulation materials, such as mineral wool or fire-resistant foam, can enhance the fire resistance of buildings, providing valuable time for occupants to evacuate in case of a fire. The R-value is a measure of the thermal resistance of insulation material. It indicates how effective the insulation is at resisting the flow of heat through it. The higher the R-value, the better the insulation's ability to prevent heat transfer. When selecting insulation for a building, it is important to consider the recommended R-value for the specific climate zone and the area being insulated. Building codes and energy efficiency guidelines often specify minimum R-values for different parts of a building, such as walls, roofs, and floors. Interior Stairs Interior Stairs Indoor staircases are a set of steps or a stairway located within the interior of a building designed to allow people to move between different levels or floors of a structure, typically from one room to another. Interior stairs are an essential component of multi-story buildings, including houses, apartments, office buildings, shops and garages, and various other types of structures. Space efficiency: Stairs allow for efficient use of space within a building. Instead of requiring large ramps or other methods of vertical movement, stairs can be built within the footprint of the building, making them a space-saving solution. Architectural design and aesthetics: Interior stairs can be designed in various styles, shapes, and materials, adding aesthetic appeal and architectural interest to a building's interior. They often become a focal point of the space and contribute to the overall design and ambiance.

Walls Wall House Wrap 2nd Floor Poles Roof and Framed Scissor Trusses Wall Types Second Floor Covered Deck Second Floor Covered Deck An upper-level covered deck or balcony, is an outdoor living space located on the second level of a building, typically above the ground floor. It is a partially enclosed area that extends from the second floor of a house or building and is built with a roof or canopy to provide protection from the elements. Outdoor Living Area: A covered deck provides an additional outdoor space where residents can relax, socialize, and enjoy the fresh air without being fully exposed to the sun, rain, or snow. Expanded Views: Being on the second floor, a covered deck often offers elevated views of the surrounding landscape, neighborhood, or scenic areas. Protection from Weather: The roof or canopy over the deck provides protection from rain, sun, and other weather conditions, making it usable in various seasons and climates. Second Floor With Trusses Second Floor Under Trusses Second floors with trusses serve a critical structural purpose in buildings, providing support for the upper level of the structure. Trusses are prefabricated, triangular frameworks made of wood or steel that are engineered to efficiently distribute loads and resist forces such as gravity, wind, and seismic loads. Support for Upper Floors: Trusses provide the primary structural support for the second floor of a building, carrying the weight of the floor system, walls, partitions, and any additional loads placed on the upper level. Open Floor Plans: Trusses allow for open floor plans on the second level since they can span long distances without the need for interior load-bearing walls. This flexibility enables architects and builders to create spacious and open living or working areas. Second Floor With Poles Second Floor With Poles A second floor with poles refers to a structural system where vertical poles or columns support the load of the upper level or second floor of a building. This type of construction is common in certain architectural styles, such as traditional timber frame or post-and-beam construction. Vertical Support: The poles or columns act as vertical load-bearing members that support the weight of the second floor, including the floor system, walls, and any additional loads like furniture and occupants. Open Floor Plans: Similar to trusses, second floors with poles allow for open floor plans on the upper level. Since the vertical support is provided by the poles, there is no need for interior load-bearing walls, creating spacious and open living or working areas. King Post King Post A king post is to provide vertical support and stability in certain types of roof and structural systems. A king post extends from the bottom chord of a triangular truss or other roof structure to the peak of the roof. It is often positioned in the center of the triangular structure and plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the roof. Support for Roof Load: In a king post truss, the king post provides support for the weight of the roof load, including the roof covering, insulation, and any additional loads like snow or equipment. Preventing Horizontal Spreading: The presence of a king post prevents the bottom chord of the truss from spreading out horizontally, which could occur under load without the vertical support. This keeps the truss in its proper shape and ensures its effectiveness in bearing the roof load. Metal Legs and Trusses Metal Trusses and Legs Metal trusses and legs serve several important purposes in buildings, particularly in structures with large spans or open floor plans. They offer distinct advantages over traditional wooden beams and columns, making them a popular choice in modern construction. Support and Load Distribution: Metal trusses and legs provide strong and efficient support for the roof and upper floors, distributing the weight of the building's structure evenly to the foundation. They are especially valuable in buildings with wide spans or large open areas, where traditional beams or columns might be insufficient. Large Clear Spans: Metal trusses can span long distances without the need for intermediate supports, creating wide, open interior spaces without the obstruction of load-bearing walls or columns. This feature is particularly advantageous in commercial spaces, industrial facilities, exhibition halls, and other large venues. Quick and Precise Installation: Metal trusses and legs are usually prefabricated off-site, leading to faster and more accurate installation on-site. This can significantly reduce construction time and labor costs. Flexibility in Roofing Materials: The design of metal trusses allows for different types of roofing materials, such as metal sheets, shingles, or tiles, to be easily installed, providing options for various architectural styles and climate considerations. Roof and Framed Second Floor Roof and Framed Second Floor A roof and framed second floor refer to the two main components of a building's upper level, where the roof provides the overhead cover, and the framed second floor constitutes the floor system of the upper level. Together, they create the uppermost part of a multi-story building. Roof: The roof is the uppermost covering of a building that protects the interior from the elements, such as rain, snow, sunlight, and wind. It serves as a protective layer over the upper floors and provides shelter to the occupants and the interior spaces of the building. Framed Second Floor: The framed second floor refers to the structural floor system of the building's upper level. This floor system typically comprises wooden or steel joists, beams, and columns that support the load of the upper level and its occupants. Roof Only Roof Only A roof-only building, also known as a canopy or shelter, is a simple structure that consists solely of a roof without walls or enclosed sides. It provides overhead protection from the elements but does not fully enclose the space beneath it. Parking Shelters: Roof-only structures are frequently used as parking shelters or carports, providing cover for vehicles without the need for enclosing walls. Carports protect cars from rain, snow, and sun exposure. Outdoor Storage: Roof-only buildings are utilized as outdoor storage sheds or shelters for equipment, materials, or goods. They protect items from rain and sun exposure while providing easy access and ventilation. Pavilions and Gazebos: Roof-only pavilions and gazebos are used for outdoor gatherings, ceremonies, or events, providing shade and a focal point for social activities. Roof Over Exterior Walls Roof Over Exterior Walls A roof over exterior walls refers to a structural design where the roof extends beyond the outer edges of the building's exterior walls. This design creates an overhang or eave, which is a projecting edge of the roof that provides additional protection to the walls, windows, and doors of the building. Weather Protection: The roof overhang helps shield the exterior walls from direct exposure to rain, snow, and harsh weather conditions. By preventing water from running down the walls, it reduces the likelihood of moisture infiltration and damage to the building's structure and finishes. Protection for Doors and Windows: Windows and doors located near the edges of the building benefit from the roof overhang as it provides an extra layer of protection against water infiltration and extends the lifespan of these components. Scissor Truss for Tall Mid Door Scissor Truss for Tall Mid Door A scissor truss is a type of roof truss used in building construction to create sloping or vaulted ceilings. The scissor truss features two angled bottom chords that cross each other, forming an "X" shape when viewed from the end. This configuration allows the truss to create a vaulted ceiling or provide more headroom in the building's interior. Vaulted Ceilings: Scissor trusses are commonly used to create vaulted or cathedral ceilings in residential and commercial buildings. By raising the bottom chords towards the center of the truss, the ceiling can have a higher, more open appearance. Increased Ceiling Height: Compared to traditional flat ceilings, scissor trusses allow for more headroom in the central part of the building, making the space feel more open and spacious. Trusses Trusses Trusses play a crucial role in providing structural support for the roof. Trusses are used specifically for roof support in pole buildings due to their efficiency, strength, and cost-effectiveness. Trusses must be carefully selected and engineered to meet the specific needs of the pole building's dimensions, use, and local building codes. Roof Support: Trusses form the framework for the roof of pole buildings. They are pre-engineered and prefabricated triangular structures made of wood or steel. These trusses are then attached to the tops of the vertical poles, forming the main roof support system. Large Clear Spans: Trusses are designed to span long distances without the need for interior columns or load-bearing walls. This allows for large, open spaces inside the building, making them suitable for various applications, such as agricultural storage, equipment sheds, and commercial or industrial facilities. Cost-Effectiveness: The use of trusses in pole buildings provides a cost-effective solution for roof support. Trusses are manufactured off-site and can be quickly installed, reducing labor and construction time. Wall House Wrap Wall House Wrap Wall house wrap is a material used in construction as an additional layer of protection against air infiltration, moisture, and drafts in exterior walls. It is typically installed on the sheathing of the building's exterior walls before the final cladding or siding is applied. Moisture Management: House wrap acts as a barrier to prevent water and moisture from penetrating into the wall assembly. It helps redirect water away from the building's framing, reducing the risk of water damage, mold, and rot. Air Infiltration: House wrap helps reduce air infiltration through the exterior walls, improving the building's energy efficiency and thermal performance. Minimizing drafts helps maintain a comfortable indoor environment and reduces heating and cooling costs. House wraps are typically made from synthetic materials such as spun-bonded polyethylene or woven polypropylene. They come in rolls and are installed over the exterior sheathing, covering the entire surface of the walls. The seams and edges are carefully sealed to create a continuous, weather-resistant barrier. Wall Types Wall Types Standard Girts Standard girts play an essential role in providing lateral support and structural integrity to the building's walls. The standard girt arrangement involves horizontal members that run parallel to the ground and are spaced at regular intervals along the height of the wall. These girts serve as attachment points for the building's exterior cladding or siding, as well as for any interior finishes. 6" Walls "6-inch walls" refer to exterior or interior walls that are six inches thick. The thickness of a wall is an essential consideration in building design, as it affects the building's structural integrity and insulation. A 6-inch wall is one of the common wall thicknesses used in residential and commercial construction, and it can be built using various construction methods and materials. Stud-Framed Walls Stud-framed walls are a common type of wall construction used in residential and commercial buildings. They are constructed using vertical members called studs, which are spaced at regular intervals and form the primary load-bearing framework of the wall. Studs are typically made of wood or metal and are placed vertically between the floor and ceiling or between horizontal beams.
