Project overview

Construction decisions made visible.

The loft and dormer make this Flagler Estates custom home a coordination-heavy build. The revision affects the roof geometry, stairs, structural framing, mechanical distribution, and the inspections that release each following trade.

JBH’s daily logs document the work as it moved from revised framing through top-out and dry-in. The result is a clear record of how design changes were translated into field tasks without losing sight of the next inspection or handoff.

New field photos show insulation at the loft ceiling, exposed framing and rough-in work, plus graded access and ground around the home. The house remains under construction, with these details documented before interior finishes conceal them.
