Scope of work
SCOPE · FR-001- 01 Pad prep with compacted select fill over expansive clay
- 02 Engineered monolithic slab with plumbing rough-in
- 03 Red-iron frame and insulated metal shell
- 04 Closed-cell spray foam across the full envelope
- 05 Two-bed, two-bath interior build-out with insulated demising wall
- 06 Two 12 × 12 insulated overhead doors on the shop bay
The challenge
The pad sat on expansive clay with a gentle fall to the southeast, and the owners wanted a residence and a working shop under one roof. That puts two problems on the same slab: soil movement under a long footprint, and conditioned living space sharing an envelope with a shop bay. Metal skin plus Oklahoma humidity also means condensation anywhere the insulation detail is wrong.
The solution
We started with the dirt, not the floor plan. The pad went up in compacted lifts with moisture-conditioned clay under an engineered slab — rebar, not mesh. Closed-cell spray foam went straight to the skin across the entire shell before any interior framing, so the house side and the shop share one continuous thermal envelope. A fully insulated demising wall separates the two, and the shop got its own mini-split so the owners are not paying to hold a 14-foot bay at living-room temperature.
The outcome
The frame went vertical in four days and the building was dried in before interior trades started, which kept the finish schedule off the weather. The living side holds temperature like a conventional house, the shop stays workable in August and January, and the slab control joints were laid out around the polished floor instead of cut through it.
