Campsite Building

Customer Journey with the Taylor Family in Blue Eye, Missouri

A motorhome parked inside a partially constructed metal-roofed building. The building has unfinished walls with visible wooden and metal framework. PVC pipes protrude from the ground around the vehicle, suggesting ongoing construction work.

“We didn’t go about our build the traditional way. After we installed the roof, our family lived in the camper and I hauled water throughout the building process.”

Trenching For Rural Utilities

A freshly dug trench cuts through a forested area with trees lining both sides. Piles of excavated earth sit along the trench. The area is wooded with sparse leaf cover on the ground. A small section of a dirt road is visible in the background.

“We had to trench a long way to get to the main road from our 20 acre parcel in rural Taney County. We also had to blast through some rock.”
~Rody

Pier Foundation System

A yellow cement truck is parked on a dirt ground with trees in the background. A construction worker is managing the cement pouring into foundation blocks on a building site. Fallen leaves are scattered around.

“Based on our soil conditions with a 6-8 foot drop off, we did not use compacted fill. We decided it would be best to build a piered foundation with sandfill.”
~Rody

A construction worker guides wet concrete from a rotating cement mixer truck into a cylindrical mold on a dirt construction site surrounded by trees. The sky is overcast, and wooden frames are placed around the area.

Concrete Piers

Construction site with a small bulldozer on cleared earth surrounded by autumn trees. Concrete bases are visible, and the sky is clear, indicating early morning or late afternoon light.

Construction site with a yellow loader and a white Bobcat machine on a dirt area surrounded by trees. Three concrete bases with metal rods are in the foreground. Workers are visible in the background.

Concrete piers are pressed into the earth until they hit bedrock, which holds the structure rather than the soil. Pier systems create a very stable foundation, and is preferable in this particular situation.

A construction site with several concrete footings in progress. Circular forms filled with concrete are aligned, one with a wooden platform and an orange bucket nearby. The ground is covered with rocks and soil, and trees are in the background.

Setting Columns & Trusses

Two construction vehicles assist workers assembling a large metal framework outdoors. One vehicle lifts a worker in its bucket to access the structure. Bare trees and clear blue sky are visible in the background.

Worldwide’s steel trusses are jointed to the columns with large bolts that can resist both vertical and horizontal movement for the most sturdy frame available on the market.

Secondary Framing

A partially constructed greenhouse with a metal frame structure against a vivid sunset. Sunlight peeks through the roof beams, casting shadows on the bare ground. Leafless trees are visible in the background.

Once you have your columns and trusses set, you can begin the secondary framing of the roof and sidewalls. The Taylors chose to use metal as the material for their girts and purlins instead of wood, making it an all steel and metal building.

A large metal building frame under construction stands on a cleared dirt site. The structure consists of vertical and horizontal beams. Trees surround the area, and the sky is overcast.

Backfilling with Sand

A dump truck is unloading a large pile of sand at a construction site. The truck's bed is raised and sand is pouring out onto the ground. Metal beams and trees are visible in the background under a clear blue sky.

Fill sand is recommended if your project requires backfill material. Often times, sand is used as a base for concrete and as backfill around septic tanks.

Sheet Metal Roofing

Construction workers are assembling a metal framework using a forklift to lift a platform. The structure appears to be a building under construction. The ground is muddy, and trees are visible in the background under an overcast sky.

Rody chose to apply blanket insulation underneath the sheet metal on top of the trusses at the same time as they were installing the roof.

A group of construction workers stand on a partially covered floor with visible rebar and heating coils. Some workers hold tools or look at the ground. The area is surrounded by trees, and a red car is parked outside.

Floor heating systems, or radiant heating systems can be installed in many types of flooring including concrete, and under wood flooring and tile.

A worker smooths freshly poured concrete on the floor of a construction site. The area is partially covered by a roof, with visible pipes and red tubing on the ground. Another worker stands nearby under the structure.

Customizations

A minimalist room with high, sloped ceilings and exposed ductwork. Large windows and sliding glass doors overlook a green outdoor area, allowing natural light to fill the space. The room features light-colored carpet and white walls.

“We wanted a roof top deck, a glass roll up door in the lower level, wood wall paneling, exposed airducts, large custom windows and rustic tin for the ceiling. We framed the lower level mezzanine posts with stone. We also stamped and stained our concrete for a unique flooring design.”

Weekend Getaway Home

“Nothing about our lake house is traditional. We pretty much customized everything the way we wanted and it turned out to be the perfect weekend getaway for our family and friends.”
