The List.

Here are the trade partners, subs and suppliers to the 2009 BIA Parade of Homes builders.   These pages have been pulled from the official Plan Book; just toggle the full screen (upper right corner) to have the names / pages appear a bit larger. We want to officially thank each and every one of them for their amazing partnership in making the 2009 Parade a reality and success. It doesn’t happen without them!  (They are categorized by the homebuilder that used them.)

ZIP System roof & wall sheathing, by Huber Engineered Woods. Click on the video link to watch Nilay and Dave Poff of Carter Lumber explain how the ZIP System works.

It’s dangerous up there

img_3180Roofing is underway at the Parade. On a recent visit to the site, there were several roofers braving the cold conditions, not to mention the steep pitches of the rooflines. this builder was getting started at Duffy Homes.

Although the arrival of rooftops may evoke a yawn from many, it’s actually a crucial milestone for the home builder. Once the roof is on (and the walls, windows and doors are in place), the house is protected from the elements and serious work can begin on the inside.

So now that the lid is on, what’s next? Stay tuned for more updates on the progress.
