Generated Wednesday, Jul 2 · from 24 site photos, 4 daily logs, and the master schedule
Footings are formed on the walkout level and rebar is being tied ahead of the pour, which is scheduled for Wednesday, July 8 with the city inspection two days later. The over-dig on the northeast corner was backfilled and compacted after the engineered retaining upgrade was approved last week. One thing needs your eyes: the window package decision is due July 17 — it carries a 16-week lead time, which is what protects the framing start in September.
The dig finished Tuesday — about 2,100 yards of material out, most staged on-site for backfill. The soils engineer signed off on bearing at depth on Thursday. The northeast corner needed an engineered retaining upgrade at the walkout; the change order came in at $18,400 and was approved from the app the same day.
Ground broke Monday morning. The lot was cleared and staked, erosion control went in, and the excavator started the main dig Wednesday. Temporary power was set Friday. Alpine City closed out the last permit condition — nothing outstanding on the paperwork side.
