Insulated Pre Cast Basements by Legendary Homes

Posted by Legendary Homes on March 25, 2017 in Frequently Asked Questions, General Contractor, Home Builder, Insulated Pre-Cast Foundations, Steps In Building a New House with No Comments Yet

Superior walls is a great option when deciding what type of foundation to do for the construction of your new home.

When building a new home there are choices when it comes to what types of basement or crawl space to do. Many people do poured wall foundations, but more and more people are realizing that there is a better option for a basement that is available. An insulated Precast Basement is a great option to consider.

{Insulated Pre Cast Basements|Insulated Pre Cast Foudations|Superiore Walls}
Direct link to the video is at: Insulated Pre Cast Basements by Legendary Homes

Insulated Precast basements have a lot of advantages.

They are very energy efficient and make for a very warm basement. The walls come as panels with concrete studs with a metal plate making them ready to attach drywall for finishing the basement and adding bedrooms. The concrete studs have holes in them for easy access to run wiring and Plumbing.

These foundations are built in a factory and experience the same benefits as modular homes being build in a factory. The panels are then hauled to the job site and set with a crane.

Legendary Homes has used Superior Walls for foundations for years.

It was probably around the early 2000’s when the first insulated pre cast basement was done for one of our customers.

At that time customers were paying an additional $5,000 to $7,000 for doing this type of basement and they still felt it was worth the extra. Things have changed and they are now around the same costs as a poured wall.

Michigan’s codes have changed to now require at least a R-10 insulation for foundations. These insulated pre cast foundations have a R12.5 insulated factor, so they exceed the building codes.

Todd the builder decided to call past customers to ask them what they thought of their foundations now that they had lived in their homes for several years. Everyone of them said they were very glad they went with Superior Walls.

There are certain procedures that need to be done to prevent future problems. That’s why having a builder that’s familiar with what needs to be done should be an important factor in your decision when building a new home.

If these procedures are not completed then there is a risk of the foundation pushing in when backfilled. For modular homes there is a strap that is nailed to the treated 2 x 10 sill plate and then once the home is set they are nailed to the home. There is also extra blocking required between the floor joists. This is something that we make sure to get completed before backfill is done.

Another benefit is the damp proofing is built right into the walls and so there is no need for spraying damp proofing. This prevents the chance of the unsightly black tar look above grade. Have you ever seen this? It’s a common problem and it doesn’t look the best on a new home.

The most common sizes of basements are as 9 foot or 8’2″. For crawl spaces can be done as 4′ or 6′ walls. Legendary Homes primarily do 6′ walls and backfill 1′ up on the inside. This give an approximate height of 5 foot.

When you are looking to build Legendary Homes is here to help with your building needs. We want to educate you so you know what to expect when building your new home. Give us a call today and let us replace your dreams with reality!

Superior Walls Insulated Precast Foundations

Posted by Legendary Homes on March 1, 2017 in Construction Company, Home Builder, Insulated Pre-Cast Foundations, Steps In Building a New House with No Comments Yet

Superior Walls insulated precast foundations is a clean simple approach. Legendary Homes offer these insulated pre-cast foundations and highly recommend them. There are many advantages.

Just like modular homes, they are built in a factory, cast in a horizontal position using high strength concrete. Much stronger than a traditional foundation. It’s more dimensionally stable. The shell themselves are a couple inches thick but the walls, the structural members are 10 1/4″ thick and incorporates reinforcing steel rebar in the studs.

Energy Efficient Insulated Precast Basement

The Dow Styrofoam is built right into the walls. Legendary Homes uses XI walls which have an R-12.5, so it exceeds Michigan energy code of R-10 insulation. They are very energy efficient.

Each foundation is pre-engineered individually for each home and designed for each particular house.

Joints are sealed with a polyurethane sealant, specially formulated for application for this type of concrete and they use a bead on the exterior and a bead on the interior of the panel at the seems.

Superior Walls uses a 5,000 psi concrete mix, which has a water concrete ratio of .4 to provide a high strength mix. A poured wall foundation typically would use 2,500 to 3,000 psi.

When the panel is cast at the factory there is an embedded saddle bolt assembly that’s embedded into the lower and upper bond beam. A 1/2 diameter bolt is used to hold the panels together.

The shell is 1 3/4″ but the overall structure is 10 1/4″ The walls have a concrete stud and use a steel plate (in the Xi walls) for securing drywall when finishing the basement.

The following video shows Bob Villa talking to Jim Costello from Superior Walls on a job site of a new construction home.

{Superior Walls|Insulated Precast Foundations|prefabricated foundation walls}
So, if this were your video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/bC0syKkXY-M

Bob Vila asked about if there were any concerns to worry about with settlement. Settlement is no more of a concern with this system than it is with any other type of foundation such as a poured wall foundation. You do need to be concerned with what your soils are but it’s not any different than any other concrete wall.

Superior Walls set on a crushed stone footing of around 6 inches for a firm base.

Soil pressure on the outside is something to be aware of. The walls are very rigid so there are very specific directions for the connection of the floor system to the top of the wall. The walls are fully engineered to withstand the backfill pressure, but it’s important to pour the floor and properly fasten the floor system of the house before backfilling in order to make a rigid box.

The walls are squared at the time of completing the last panel.

The prefabricated foundation is built in a factory just as a modular home so weather is not an issue. They are poured in a plant in a controlled atmosphere where they pour the concrete.

The concrete studs have holes for wiring and secondary plumbing making it easier to run electrical and plumbing in the basement. The walls are ready for drywall, which is a big advantage.

Costs have been running about the same as a poured wall basement which makes it the way to go.
Legendary Homes has been using Superior Walls for many years and they are differently a “Superior foundation”. In Michigan, basements need to be at least R-10 to meet energy codes and the Xi walls more than exceeds the energy code. Highly recommended!

Another nice feature is the formal foyer separating the front door area from the living room and a decent size coat closet. There’s a neat shelving at the edge of the hall to set some of your special nick-nacks on.

The 2nd bath or hall bath is also very big and includes a large linen closet. It has a 60″ tub/shower and we added a can light above it that is an available option.

The utility room is nicely located on the front corner of this modular home to accommodate being able to have a garage on the front or on the end the house. The optional utility sink and overhead cabinets were also added to this model home.

This ranch home is the perfect size for most growing families. Building this home on a full basement basically, doubles the space and makes it great for having some extra storage area and maybe add some more bedrooms if needed.

We offer price sheets that show the complete construction package of a new home. We offer full service general contracting and have been using an insulated pre-cast foundation that has an insulation value of R12.5 more than exceeding Michigan energy code. We have great dependable and reliable subcontractors that stand behind their work. Many of whom we have used for over 20 years.

Our price sheets include the costs for a full 9-foot basement with an egress window and an escape well along with a standard size basement window. Plumbing and electrical hook-ups and permit fees are also shown on the costs. The price sheets show the cost of a well and a standard septic system.

Everything is itemized out so you can see exactly what’s included in the costs to build a new home. We show prices for a few different floor plans so that you can get a good “ballpark” idea of the costs to build a new house. Something to keep in mind when looking over the prices is if you want something bigger then just know that you will need to figure a little more then the costs for the size of the price sheet you are looking at. If you plan on building smaller then it will be less costly. If you add more options/upgrades it will cost more if you take some off then it will cost less.

Once you have a floor plan picked out and know where you are going to build, please let Todd know and he can get prices figured up for your particular situation with the features you want.

If you would like a copy of the options forms just let us know and we can email that to you so you can get started with deciding what upgrades you will want, to make it easier in determining the total costs.

General Contractor and Other Persons Involved in the Modular Home Construction

Posted by Legendary Homes on May 3, 2015 in General Contractor, Home Builder, Modular Home Builder, Modular Home Dealer with Comments Off

A general contractor is an individual who engages in the planning, developing and coordinating of activities which coincide with the modular home construction. The general contractor is the individual who oversees the construction and ensures that all necessary measures are taken to result in the completed finished product.

A general contractor will need to other key persons to complete the site work during the modular home construction. He will need to the manufacturer, home builder, and home dealer.

Other Key Players in Modular Home Construction

Modular Home Builder

Modular home builders are not just focused on the standard modular home design. They also channel their skills and knowledge in providing custom- designed homes. These homes get the incorporation of personal preferences of the home buyers. With the assistance of a custom modular home builder, modifications laid out by home buyers are installed in high quality.

Modular Home Dealer

A modular home dealer’s primary job is to design, price, and order a modular home from the manufacturer. The job of turning it into a livable home is that of a general contractor. Most dealers also function as general contractors or work closely with specific general contractors, and this is a good route to follow.

Manufacturer

Manufacturers see to it that modules for the prefab home are built in a climate controlled area. The finished sections are transported to the building site and then assembled with giant cranes. This process quite resembles a child building with Lego blocks. It is important to talk to your manufacturer as each manufacturer operates with a different set of guidelines. If you are designing your own home, it is important that you ask very specific questions.
