Construction Report No. 7
Gentlemen:
Since my last report on July 22, 2003, the following
construction has been completed and except as noted found to be
in compliance with applicable codes and construction documents
for this project :
1 . Site work operations remain basically as previously
reported. All storm drainage piping and the below grade
prefabricated plastic detention chamber has been installed
and backfilled up to grade. Some minor slippage of the
embankment at the Northwest corner of the site was noted
and will require dress-up prior to project completion.
Finish grading around the perimeter of the building and
parking lot areas remains to be completed. The masonry
retaining wall at the North property line has been
completed, however, the similar retaining wall at the South
property line remains to be installed. Although the
precast concrete transformer pad has been installed on the
exterior of the Southeast corner of the building along with
secondary electrical conduit extending into the building,
no primary or secondary electrical service wiring has been
pulled at this time. A temporary electrical service has
been stubbed up on the interior of the first floor and
remains in place.
2 . As previously reported, all reinforced concrete foundation
work and interior concrete slabs have been poured and
finished. All under slab plumbing and electrical conduit
has been stubbed up above finished slab level .
3 . Also as previously noted, erection of all structural steel
components for the Butler preengineered metal building
