Too many folks concerned with the camera lens or quality of video. This is a construction video. They are not cinematographers. The other part is the part to focus on…the construction. I would be suspicious if these guys were GQ models with a team of videographers, personally. I found it interesting, guys! Wanna build one of these! I think the land around me would be massively expensive and if I could find some acreage without restrictions, it’d be off grid. Sounds romantic. But a single woman in a heavily snow covered area with dangerous freezing temps at times, may have to ponder that one pretty hard. Until my next life, I’ll keep watching and dreaming!
This is awesome to watch. We just ordered the Treo 150 for our lake front cottage build. Did you order the full structural kit or purchase your own number?
Thank you! I recommend ordering all structural components of the kit from Avrame. You can outsource interior framing and roof / wall sheathing and other materials like that if you like, that's what we did.
I um. My fist A-frame I built, my helper nocked me off the roof. Broke my back, hip, don't remember the fall but coming to, still a night terror to remember.
Yeah you need vertical dowels centered in the middle of your 8" wall to connect footings to stem wall. So if your footing is 16" wide you want them 8" from outside footing form. We usually tie our dowels in place before we pour footings but you can also cut and bend them so inspector sees them and stab them after you pour once your concrete has had time to set up.
Great work! If only you were located in Northern Wisconsin, currently trying to find someone to build a Avrame Trio 150. Seems like many contractors are scared of “kits”… Any recommendations, could this be a self-build?
Find a way to get your foundation and concrete done by a professional and I'll come out for 2 weeks and erect the kit. You can do pretty much everything from there. Quality contractors shouldn't be scared of kits! If you have construction background or carpentry skills you could get the structural kit erected, otherwise I would not recommend. Hope this helps and good luck!
If they had regional teams i could see them selling more of these. Id buy one but dont think my local contractor could handle this and or it would cost a fortune
Hopefully we can get to the point where someone buys the product and the company gives me a call to erect the kit (if its in the region) for a lump sum fee. Great product but yeah you have to know what you're doing.
why in the heck didn't you put the subfloor down first so you could work safe. You also didn't need a crane to put those top pieces on if you had the subfloor down first. Two guys could have put them in place with a block and tackle very easily and maybe even quick. You could have even made the top pieces on the second level. You added a lot of extra cost and time by not putting that subfloor down first. This had to be your first house build. Just watching you work with not guards on the second floor and just pieces of OSB to walk on gave me the shivers!
@@Steadfastly7 Never find myself very compelled to respond to keyboard warriors with 100 years of construction experience. Those top truss rafters are around 18’ of LVL joining at an 18/12 pitch, two guys aren’t swinging that. Some of the wall struts weren’t perfect with this being a prefab kit so I didn’t slap sheets until I knew all hardware was installed and my floor was still square. We had those trusses and floor on in a week 😂 thanks for the comment God Bless
@@IRONHORSEhomes did you use a general contractor? Also how much did it cost to add utilities on the land? And approx how much would it cost for a general contractor to do this and are you able to finance the build with a construction loan?
@@iyabomarvel8506 I am a state licensed General Contractor. We typically charge 12-20% of the overall cost of construction to manage the project. email me at ironhorsecoconstruction@gmail.com for any other questions regarding pricing.
This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Would you be open to sharing who you contracted to build this, and total budgeted build costs that you have estimated (without the land etc.)? We are looking into buying land and building an Avrame trio as well! EDIT: Just checked your profile and it appears you are the builder. Could you share a good email address for me to send you a note?
@@rumitaification yeah that's including the kit, well, foundation and septic. Prices have dropped a bunch so it's looking like it might be closer to the 250k range at this point
Basements are between 8-10'. Saved more than 60k by not doing the basement just in excavation and concrete costs, not to mention what interior finishes, appliances, etc would cost. Adequate space within the floor plan at more than 1500 square feet. Crawlspace still gives heaps of room for storage, etc.
The most useless building ever, I'm sorry, but every time you go in one, duck your head. A waste of materials and labor I was in an A Frame of sorts The base was 4 ft high and the frame mounted to that, thus no banging and ducking, nice set up.

Great vid. Looking to building one also, very insightful

amazing project
Hey did you’re footings call for vertical dowels? Getting ready to build one in Bailey. Thanks!

Where in Colorado was this? Looking at the Avrame kits and would love to have some one that has used their kit before doing the construction.
Twin Lakes, CO
De lujo felicitaciones
Great music.
Do you need permits, Architect , engineer signed & sealed proof drawings etc to built something like that ?
yes
Hi mate, sick videos! how thick are the LVLs for the frame?
Thanks, 1 3/4 inch for thickness. I believe they are 14" for width.
What size of crew and what was the timeline from beginning to end for the Structure and Shell?
2 guys & it took around 60 days from sill plate to last sheet of OSB for roofing. An experienced crew of 4 or more could do it in 2 weeks.
Trio 120 rafters are 32 ft., why not using a full/jointless I-joist (max 43 ft.)?
LVL are the materials sold as part of structural kit for Avrame.
What does it cost to build this if i already have the land without utilities?
depends on a lot of things, including the state you're building in. The exterior interior structural kit costs 149K.
Question do they do this in denver or only utah
They ship nationwide I believe. I have spoken with people from Washington to New Jersey
Thank u
What size timber is on the main roofs frame
LVL @ 9" is the top of the truss above second floor joist. Believe LVL @ 11" is bottom of truss below second floor
@@IRONHORSEhomes thanks for the reply mate

Is this a pre cut kit?
for the structural yes

what prefab kit is it?@@IRONHORSEhomes
@@Jessersadler AVRAME.com
what was total cost?
Maybe next time don't use a fish lense, hard to see and very distracting. Otherwise looks awesome!
does it come with instructions like ikea ? 🤣
haha It's probably easier to build then some of the stuff Ikea tries to sell!

You're probably looking at roughly 300k to build a trio 100. That's about what we'll be at here in Maine. Not including land or anything
@@Dorchwoods that roughly lines up with my calculations. Thanks! Have you started your build yet? If so, are you vlogging it?
@@Dorchwoods I’m assuming that’s the price including the kit?

Another 3ft you could have had a basement wasted space

Do not do that.
Do it!

A waste of materials and labor
