Grace Street Home Additions will implement its patented foundation system the week of November 7th on Somerset Road in Richmond. This system is the first component of Grace Street’s unique approach to shortening the duration for “delivering†residential additions. It preempts the need for excavation, forming, and pouring of conventional concrete and brick foundations, and can be installed regardless of weather conditions. The foundation will resemble a traditional one, but will be installed in a fraction of the time while matching existing finishes and offering superior performance. Immediately following will be the installation of the panelized wall framing system resulting in a structure going from ground to roof in a matter of hours instead of days or weeks.
