Systems Installation - Trim-Out

Electrical Trim-Out - Install light fixtures, switches, outlets, and cover plates. Ensure all connections are secure and systems are fully operational.

06.

Internal Inspections - Conduct “design-build” team walkthroughs at key phases of construction to ensure compliance with design specifications, building codes, and quality standards.

Third-Party Inspections - Engage independent inspectors to verify that all systems and construction meet the required standards, particularly for critical systems like electrical and plumbing.

Site Clearing - Remove all vegetation, debris, and any existing structures from the site to create a clean slate for construction.

Excavation - Conduct necessary excavation to establish a level base and ensure proper drainage. This includes digging for foundations and trenches for utilities.

Foundation Preparation - Construct a solid foundation using appropriate materials, such as concrete or reinforced steel, considering soil conditions and load-bearing requirements.

Roof Installation - Install the roof structure, ensuring it meets design and load-bearing specifications. Consider aesthetic elements, such as parapet walls, if applicable.

Plumbing Rough-In - Set up water supply lines, drainpipes, and vent systems within the walls and floors. Ensure that all plumbing is properly routed and tested for leaks.

HVAC Rough-In - Install ductwork, vents, and preliminary HVAC components within the framework. Ensure all systems are placed for optimal airflow and efficiency.

"Fryar Construction is amazing! I have used them for two different projects. The first was a bathroom remodel which turned out fantastic. They took care of everything: plumbing, electrical, tile, sheetrock, and they found some issues with the foundation and fixed that as well.
The next project was a pergola and a gable out on the back deck. I spoke with Blaine on the project, but the initial price was too much for us. However, after working with Blaine and team, we were able to get everything we wanted well within the budget. The project looks amazing as well!"
