Gregg Construction Update 4

October 5, 2016 2-min. read

Construction is still moving along steadily after 4 more months of work. Insulation, brick and atlantic white cedar siding are being installed on the building exterior. Walls are framed and are being sheathed with plywood and drywall. Installation of HVAC equipment is almost complete. After windows are installed, HVAC systems will be started up to get the building conditioned. Most of the electrical installation has been completed and it won’t be long before paint is going up on the walls. Check out the progress in the photographs below and look for another update soon!
