10’X24′ Leadville Shell

August 1, 2017 By Greg Parham 11 Comments

Some really great folks out of Leadville, CO hired us to construct this 10×24 shell. They wanted us to assist with the design. erect the shell out of structural insulated panels, install roofing, Tyvek, windows, and a front door before driving it up to Leadville.  The house needed to have stamped engineered drawings showing it could meet Leadville snow load, as well as good documention on attachment to the trailer and assembly of the SIP’s. We were happy and able to oblige! Since it was just a shell build, we didn’t really get too many great photos, but we are posting this project to not only let people know that we have the capability to do shell builds, even with SIP’s, build 10′ wide, deliver 10′ wide, and provide engineered drawings if your local jurisdiction requires. This will be the first legal tiny house in Leadville, and these customers had to work hand in hand with city officials to get it passed, but hopefully are establishing precedent for future residents in this town at 10,200′, as well as other cities across Colorado. This 10×24 SIP shell designed for 100 psf snow load as shown with roofing, windows, entry door, housewrap, and engineered drawings came in at 28k.   It would slightly less if you don’t need that high of a snow load or engineered drawings.
