Site pad elevation is very critical in ensuring proper water drainage away from the structure of your new home and broken arrow. Next to the house lines are staked out on the home site in accordance with your plot plan and then the footing is dug out. Steel bars are installed through the footing. A city inspector will then approve the footing prior to pouring the concrete. Once the footing is poured, wood forms will be erected all around the perimeter of the structure. That way these forms determine the building size and the finished floor elevation, which is another critical step in ensuring proper drainage.
So step number four in building a Broken Arrow Home Builders, Oklahoma is the rough, the rough end process. After the forms are in place on the, on the footing, plumbers will rough in all of the water and drain lines.

The plumbers will run the main water, sewer and gas lines to the appropriate tie in locations at this time and upon the plumbers, uh, completion and city inspection. Uh, the fill dirt is brought in and installed inside the wood forms and leveled off approximately four inches below the tops of the forms that way.
Uh, any, uh, electrical lines that run beneath the slab, uh, can be installed at this time. Next, the post extension cables are installed and the steel bars extending from the footing are bent over into the slab area to tie the full footing and slab together. The footing is cleaned to ensure proper placement of concrete and the full structure is treated with a warranted chemical termite protection. Another city inspection is done prior to pouring any concrete and upon inspection the CLA, the slab is poured and the forms are removed seven to 10 days after the slab is poured, the post-tension cables are tightened to 28,000 pounds of pressure per square inch and then cut flush with this slab. At this point. Step number five, we, we begin the exterior process for your Broken Arrow Home Builders. Once a slab is poured, carpenters will begin the framing process. It’s during this stage. Substantial progress is made very, very quickly. Walls and headers and beams and floor trusses and rafters are engineered to ensure proper structural properties throughout the dwelling.

They also install certain tubs and showers at this time. All in. All the lines are pressurized to protect against possible leaks. Later on the the furnace furnaces are set and the duck work runs throughout the house. Provision is made for the return airflow to the furnaces and the air handler and also for the condensing units which will be installed outside later on. Bathroom fans are vented to the exterior at this time.
The electricians will rough in the wiring for the breaker box. The switches, the receptacles of lights, heavy gauge wire is is is being run for the cooking equipment and air conditioners. Recess light fixtures are installed at this stage as are your cable TV and telephone outlets. All mechanical trades will have their Ruffin work inspected and then a frame inspection is done to make sure no boards have been cut or moved that could call a structural weakness and upon all all approvals insulation is installed in the walls that will be insulated and in certain inaccessible ceilings. All holes in exterior walls are filled with poly cell foam to maintain air tightness and the exterior masonry is normally installed. About the same time. Step number seven, the drywall trim and the painting sheet. Rock dry walls installed on all ceilings and walls. Then taped bedded and skimmed wall texture as applied were indicated.
