About Ken Grant

BUILDING A HOME OR COMMERCIAL BUILDING SOON? I CAN USUALLY SHOW YOU AREAS IN YOUR STRUCTURAL PLANS THAT WILL SAVE MONEY AND TIME. PARTICULARLY ON THE CONCRETE, MASONRY CONSTRUCTION. SOME CALL THS STRUCTURAL VALUE ENGINEERING. Since the structure (shell) is made up of so many components, it's typically where the most time and money is spent and can also be saved. Sometimes a very substantial amount of both. I estimate plans for a local, well-established shell contractor that does the residential and commercial shell work for many contractors, builders, developers, investors, owner builders, etc. Many of the blueprints that I estimate are not structurally designed to be cost-efficient. This can be changed. The Florida Building Code offers many options that can be used for concrete and block construction, which combined with many roof and upper floor choices along with structural framing and steel are the most common built in this region. Unless you're absolutely sure your structures are being built as cost-efficient as possible, working with a consultant is something you should look into. I routinely see plans where tens of thousands of dollars, and often, hundreds of thousands of dollars and a lot of time can be My flat-rate fee is a small percentage of your savings. SOLID POURED CONCRETE WALLS Also, if you are using or are looking into using solid poured concrete wall construction for your projects, this is something I have a great deal of knowledge in. I've been passionate about cast in place concrete walls since the late 1980s. I've have used a lot of various forms, aluminum, metal ply-forms, and many different plywood methods. I can show you the most economical systems for: startup cost, labor efficiency, logistics, and best procedures I've found).
