What to beware of with new construction in Florida.

Things to beware of with new construction in Florida. Not all builders are equal when it comes to quality, materials used and best practices for safe housing in Florida. In this video we walk through a new house being built in Bradenton, Florida to see what a $450,000+/- , 4 Bedroom, 3 Bath home looks like before it is completed and the steps to insure a solid built home of block construction compared to much of the new housing built in Florida, that is built of wood construction. With this we discuss the long term sustainability of the quality of the construction in Florida new housing with the Florida climate and potential hurricanes and what to beware of.

you found a great builder for giving the tour;, knowledgable, forthcoming with the info and talked FAST !

[ernglez]

It's mindblowing to me how expensive are the houses in the US, with interior walls made of wood and card boxes. Does nobody build houses with bricks or blocks in the interior walls?
Does anyone build reinforced concrete roofs instead of those made of wood and shingles?

I never knew that word scuttle as attic access opening. Interesting interview.

I like that it didn't have vaulted ceilings.

22:23 The name of what you are talking about is vertical reinforcement. Concrete is poured vertically in the cells that coincide with the location of dowels, usually every 4 feet or 4'-8" (or as indicated in the structural drawings), and also on the jambs of openings. A lintel is a horizontal element spanning over openings, connected at the ends to the vertical reinforcement.

I'm to passionate about construction to build the same model home over and over and over again, i wish people understood disadvantages to run electrical wiring without conduits as it greatly outweighs the initial extra cost

New Home building is brisk especially in the retirement areas. I have been to Bradenton, Nice. A Block home essential in Fl.

so this contractor is telling us the house in this area are only termite treated up to 2.5feet, termites can fly right? here when we build a house any timber used is termite treated from the supplier as we also use non treated timber for shoring and boxing

I have heard some horror stories of Dr Horton houses on YouTube. When I looked at Dr Horton houses in Brandon Florida I found them to be too small so that turn me off. But Dr Horton does have nice kitchens.

Looks like this is not about someone building his own house. These are production homes, aka tract homes. Cheap mass production. If you build your own house, you’ll do it differently.

[anthonyseven]

so they basically build home packages to their design, instead of anyone walking in with their personal design
