Week 5

View of Ravello Rise from the North East

The first floor frames have been completed and the floor joists for the second floor have begun to be installed.

Installing the floor joists, we were able to get a preview of the great view over the valley to the south from the second floor.

Installing floor joists.

Building paper for the first floor went on towards the end of the week.

Another good week at Ravello Rise, next week we hope to have the second storey floor completed!

Week 4

This week the frames for the bottom floor arrived and were stood. The steel beams arrived towards the end of the week and were installed on Friday morning.

 

  

The rain eased this week allowing the site to dry out, which was good.

The frames went up without a hitch and fit together perfectly thanks to the precise work of our foundation team, chippie and timber supplier!

Steel beams were installed on Friday morning. 

 

At the end of the first month of construction at Ravello Rise we are pretty happy with the progress of Lot 40.

Week 3

We had quite alot of rain this week on Ravello Rise. Despite this, the concrete slab has been completed, drains and services have been installed and the site is in the process of being tidied up for construction to commence.

Foundations ready for concrete

Week 2

Beautiful weather going into week 2 of the build.

With retaining work done, this week we are hoping to complete the underfloor insulation and steel reinforcing for the concrete block.

Rain predicted over weekend... we are again hoping for good weather next week as we will be pouring concrete!
