LYRE Investment and Development
Custom Home in Lexington, MA
The client came to us with a set of architectural plans for this contemporary custom home and requested we provide him with the full design for EWP floors and roof system.
Framing Completed
Challenges met in this project:
- Long spans for the I-joists
- Height restrictions that limited depth of joists to 14 inches
- Offset bearing conditions that joists needed to carry
- Large door and window openings throughout the home
- Cantilevered second floor areas on the right side of building
- Changes to plans throughout the project (floor area ratio, and customer changing layout of rooms, etc.)
- Open space over family room requiring large steel beam to be designed
Our engineers meet the building and zoning codes required by the city or town and state.
