After a long concept period, work has begun on a more detailed SketchUp model to show this large residential development at various stages of construction. Its quite intensive and feels like I’m building it for real but the benefit of finding issues at this stage will save time (and money!) when building starts for real very soon!.
This is very cool! Keep Going!
Are the joists hangers modeled geometry or just materials applied to each end? Also, the drywall screw?
Joist hangers are modelled components and plasterboard is a material set up in 8x4’ sheets
Progress today has been focused on getting the stair finishes installed and coordinated across the three levels after a major change to the atrium skylight design and pulling the ceiling down. This wraps up the ‘white box’ phase for the stairwell and helps bring the halls closer to the same level.
Most of the ground floor is coming close to finished with some minor model changes to work through. the first floor still needs ceilings in the bedrooms but I’m waiting on a few answers before closing these spaces off. The basement has been started too, with stad or brick walls being modelled and is probably around 20% complete.
The aim, is to have the house finished to the same ‘white box’ level before interior design / joinery is added… Landscaping, yeah thats a while off!
This is insane. Great work
