Miranda Homes is currently finishing one of its first homes designed and built with our new in house Revit 3D modeling software. This software was customized (see previous post) to manage our steel stud and truss machines as well as provide detailed schedules of building elements such as doors and windows. With this project, we were able to prove that a custom designed home could be built using our signature process of panelization and off site manufacturing.
For example, the fire places (on both levels) where built and pre-applied with masonry. and most of the manufacturing was completed in our shop. All of the wall panels that include rolling the steel, sheeting, exterior insulation, host plumbing and electrical holes were done in our shop.One of the challenges we faced, like many other builders, was building on a small site. Storage for materials and even parking for our work trucks was difficult. Our process lends itself to this type of situation. During the building process, we store our materials in our warehouse and move most of the necessary building materials out the day they are required for installation. This way, we can bring an accurate amount of material to the job site every working day. This process also drastically reduces hours of labor needed and in turn, a quicker more efficient build.
There is a great deal of planning involved in our design and building process. We believe that having control over the process is key to saving time and money.
We are very excited about this new home and have a well documented process to show you.
