FOUNDATION, VENT & DRAINS
All of the foundation walls we do are all 10"
thick minimum. We will have your foundation
water proofed using a spray on rubber not
tar.

THE FRAMING AND THE
ROUGHS
The rough framing is done with 2x6s
exterior wall studs not 2x4s. The
structures are all designed for high
wind loads (depending upon your area).
We typically use "I joists" for the floors;
found to be much more rigid than
conventional lumber. We also use ZIP
system building products for our roofs
and walls. We are always striving to
stay on top of the best products out
there. Most of the products we use are
considered "GREEN BUILDING"
materials.

TO A TURNKEY HOME OR ADDITION
SITE WORK
We usually prepare the hole bottom with 3/4"
trap rock and provide a interior and exterior
footing drains. In addition to that we will
usually tie in a radon vent if applicable. Only
on site that display any large out croppings
of rocks this is a sign of radon presence.
This is something that is not common practice
but Van Allen Construction adheres to.
