Ground-Up Construction

Projects under this category usually begin with preparing the site. When the site is ready underground utilities are installed leaving some components exposed to tied into the utilities that will be inside the structure. Footings and other support components are added, then the slab is poured. Some of our projects in this category begin with an existing concrete slab and utilities are added by cutting into the existing slab. The Riverside Enterprise project, a prototype for us, was such a project.

A structural frame is constructed on the slab which is most often a steel girder system. A covering is attached to the frame forming the exterior shell of the structure. This can again be metal or prepped for the installation of masonry or another material. Once this is complete the project is then brought “under roof” which means that the entire process to date is covered by the supported roof structure. Openings are cut or left open for windows and doors.

As work continues with the exterior of the structure most of the work at this point is concentrated on the interior. The utilities are expanded inside the structure to include cable, satellite, telephone and other hi-tech services along with the extension of the electrical, HVAC and plumbing. The interior walls are erected with metal studs, insulation is installed, all openings are framed, and doors and windows are installed. Ceilings and floors are finished, wall surfaces are completed, and necessary fixtures are installed according to the type of business.

Projects built by Chandlee and Sons under this category include several large projects for Enterprise, Inc., a similar project for North Fulton Metals and one of our very first projects, the Bethany Bend Village Office Park, which involved the construction of several brick multi-story and single story buildings around a central parking area. This project was beautiful – the project development is currently listed for sale.
