Foundation:

All foundations are designed by a registered engineer and inspected prior to placing the concrete. But we don't stop there. A representative supervises the actual placement of the concrete. This allows the engineer to issue a written certification as to the quality of the foundation.

Framing:

All of our framing is within the scope of the Southern Building Code and the size and span totals contained therein. Additionally, our floor joists and support beams are an engineered system consisting of manufactured I-Beam joists and engineered support beams. These systems perform more consistently and are environmentally friendly. We also use tech-shield decking and Tyvek house wrap. Visit tyvek.com for more detail. Visit lpcorp.com for tech-shield and I-beam info.
