    Permits

    Building a dwelling requires navigating the complex world of permits and regulations. In Fremont County, we ensured that all necessary permits were obtained to transform this building into a fully compliant home shell. These permits, including foundation engineering, allows the building to be used as a dwelling. Permits are essential to ensure safety and adherence to local codes, learn more about our permitting process here. The Shed Yard handled the permit process seamlessly, saving our customer time and stress.

    Excavation

    Once the permits were secured, it was time to prepare the building site. Excavation involved clearing the area, dig-out for stem wall foundation, trenching, and ensuring proper drainage. Our team of experts meticulously planned and executed this phase, laying the foundation for a solid and enduring structure.

    Concrete

    With the site ready, it was time to pour the foundation. Our professionals worked diligently to create a sturdy base that would support the weight of the Sunny Side model. Properly cured and reinforced, the concrete stem wall foundation ensures the long-term stability of the structure and ease of utility maintenance.

    Sub Floor

    The subfloor is a critical component in creating a comfortable and resilient living space. This residential subfloor is a must with our stem wall foundation option.

    Walls

    The transformation truly started to take shape as the walls went up. Our construction process allows The Shed Yard to build wall panels in a controlled environment ensuring a speedy build time (2 days) and protected building materials.
