Hi All
Hoping some of the guys that put up buildings for a living will chime in on this one.
I have been following a company called RR buildings that are building a new Maker Space building for Jimmy Diresta in Upstate NY.
I am very interested in the construction technique being used and would like comments on it , pros cons what could be done differently or better.
Just looks to simple to be true so in my mind its a tribute to the guys doing it. But a two man crew erecting this thing. They obviously have done it before and have a process worked out.
I dont know if it would be an issue building a structure like this in Canada but I would like to consider this kind of build when i eventually get to buy a piece of land.
As i write this a fellow member is scoping out a property for me that could be 11 acres and although it has existing buildings on they never enough.
This video shows a structure that gets clad in steel I was thinking of steel roof but board and baton exterior and later possibly insulating but maybe not.
It will not be a shop more of a function venue.
Want to create a barn type image.
What is appealing to me is the sono tube foundation, then the way the posts are made up of laminated 2x6s and then the way its framed up and erected. Framing done on the ground. Lifting with a machine. Truss installation is still to come although a snippet in Jimmy Direstas vlog revealed the truss work is half done already.
How would a building like this stand up to wind loads and snow loads?
What pitfalls do you see over other techniques.
any thoughts and input most welcome and appreciated.
here are the build videos there are three to see it from start to finish, for those without time or interest to look at all skip to near the end of the last video to just see the overall construction. Any pro would only need to see that to know what has gone before and comment.
Keep in mind i come from a place where bricks concrete and mortar were what i grew up with so a wooden building is still ???? to me.
But when i see a barn that dates back to 1900 that is still rock solid however built with post and beam technique and pinned joints like i have seen the Amish build well that says it all about strength. This is not that style though so i dunno.
