In this area of the Mid-Atlantic the winter season normally spans from December thru March. Beginning construction during these months is often necessary in order to keep a clients home on schedule. Semerjian Builders goes to great lengths to guarantee that the construction process is maintained and that one of the most important aspects of the home is not compromised.
Concrete is the primary material used for the construction of the footings and home’s foundation. A home’s foundation is an integral part of the overall construction of the home. It is the foundation upon which all the remaining investment and other amenities of the home will be built.
Semerjian Builders verifies the specific concrete mix to be used by the concrete supplier to make certain that hot water is used during the mixing process, preheated sand, and extra cement in the mixture. This specific recipe is the first critical aspect of making certain the mixture is modified based on the outside air temperature. Semerjian Builders also engages an approved technician from the American Concrete Institute in order to inspect the reinforcing steel, view the condition of the formwork, sampling and testing of concrete during placement. We are provided with full laboratory results of this testing process, which allows us to know specifically that we are surpassing the concrete strength we specified during the specific pour.
Semerjian Builders has always maintained this type of detailed and technical oversight in building each and every luxury Main Line home. We believe that these are the details which a customer never sees, but truly make for a better built and quality home.
