At FS Construction Services, we’ve talked before about the benefits of imagination when it comes to buildings, and that’s why it’s important for us not to limit ourselves or our clients when it comes to specialty and custom projects. At the beginning of this year we had the privilege of building a wood building just a little bit out of the ordinary.
Our partnership with Walters Buildings has allowed us to construct many high-quality wood buildings over the years. Often those buildings are used as storage sheds, activity centers, churches, or other community or commercial-type buildings. In this particular case though, Tom Marcheski, our pre-engineered buildings expert, oversaw the construction of a 40’ x 81’ x 12’ wood building that, while typical looking on the outside, was anything but on the inside. Rather than open storage space or a community meeting center, inside this building is a fully function living space.
This living space features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and is completely framed out and dry walled. The building also has concrete floors, a porch, and the living area is separated from the garage by a cross-partition wall. The Raynor ShowCase garage doors are made of heavily-insulated steel and have an R-Value of 10.25, making for extremely effective thermal protection.
Where many see a pre-engineered wood building as a place to store boats, cars, or agricultural equipment, our client saw it as an opportunity not just for storage, but as a complete living space. And our planning and building professionals brought the customer’s imagination to life in this incredibly spacious and functional specialty building.
