In 3 days we built a 2700 square foot home! Beginning on Friday Dec 10th, walls, roof trusses went up and exterior siding went on. By Sunday the 12th our LEED Gold project home for Sgt Johannsen was completely framed, dried in and 98% of the electrical installed.

Platinum Homes wishes to thank all of our generous volunteers, suppliers and subcontractors for making this remarkable project a reality. Congratulations to Homes for Our Troops Organization!

We have never built a home so fast, but with 100+ motivated people – it can be done.

This week brings installation of the rough out plumbing, mechanical system duct work and finish of the electrical.

We are finalizing the insulation system that will be used. This is a critical component to our energy efficiency home and no detail is to small to overlook in this area. We will achieve a system that will deliver R27 in the walls and R 50 in the ceiling — but with little to no air infiltration — a big feat! More on this envelope system later.
