See photos of our process below, from the start all the way to the finish!
The first step of the process is framing the walls. For larger buildings we lay it out in its full length as a natural way to “test-fit”. Once the wall is framed, we install ZIP panels. This is both a structural and insulation layer. It offers R6 insulation, depending on thickness (can be less or more). Next, we begin to install the siding. Our most commonly used products are James Hardie and natural (spruce or pine) woods! Once the siding is mostly installed, we set in the windows and doors. This is a critical part of saving time and not that many factories do this in advance! Then we finish the trim and siding around them.Once the panels are finished and test-fitted, we begin to neatly stack them for shipment. The packages are then shrink wrapped, to avoid any weather conditions, and ready for shipment to you!We load your building neatly onto a flatbed truck. A critical note here is that our buildings are loaded in order of easiest offload and assembly. Everything is numbered and ready for the site! Once the panels arrive on-site, you open the first package and begin setting the wall panels onto the foundation. Each panel bolts down to the foundation, and to the panel nearest to it on either side. Our kits go together like oversized Lego pieces! Once all of the wall panels are set, you lift and set our structural roof trusses. They fit neatly and easily on top of our panels, making assembling the roof easy and quick. After all of the trusses are set, you begin to lay our pre-cut and easy to assemble roof material. Each project is different here, depending on its associated code, but this takes only a few days! At this point you are nearly done. All the building exterior needs is final touches!
Once completed, there are some small final touches, then you are off to the races finishing the inside of the building! You have now finished assembling a Ludo building.
