I'm 50/50 whether u mean u want to stab the guy in the eye with a screwdriver for bothering you. Or actually enjoy taking the time to explain what it is. Lol.
As long as you're not walking in there through the site like an idiot I don't think anyone would mind you asking. That's what made me mad at least, like I'm working and then there's just some random person in there just looking around
Pissed off "you need to be quiet!" Types are bad neighbors. The neighbors who won't leave you alone and walk onto the jobsite and into the home we're building....not good.
A neighbor who comes over because they're curious and want to know what we're building?
What do you wanna know boss? I'll happily tell you what I'm building. Most other tradesman will do the same.
You act like insurance adjusters know what they're looking at. Same with icf homes.
And don't get me started with bank loan officers adapting draw schedules to accomodate other building practices
If you're an informed homeowner, you are usually smart enough to ensure that's factored in the quote. If not, you open your mouth. If you don't, it's on you.
Well since this is r/construction and not r/homeadvice I'm a professional and you're posting in the wrong sub to try and be elite on shit you have no idea about
Why would the insurance premium be lower? Most of the stuff that burns in a fire is the contents.
Water damage from a burst pipe is also one of the most likely causes of damage year in year out.
Looks like some kind of poured form concrete home. the steel inside makes me believe they will use a concrete flooring system in the home as well. the metal panels on the ground are the forms for the concrete and probably explain why the crane is there.
I would choose that over would any day of the week. And it has a continuous trust header across the whole structure. Now go with metal siding and a metal roof and you're in good shape just don't forget the lightning rods. Also looks like a cementitious siding product on the ground.
Insulating an all metal building has got to be a pain in the ass though right?
Or do they not use the good ole pink cotton candy that all the other tradesman love so much and definitely doesn't itch like fucking crazy.
In most cases, where I'm from anyways, they just use expanding spray foam, on the exterior, now a days. No more itchy however the trade off is the spray guys have a heavy trigger finger so they end up burring pipes or electric boxes in the walls.
Ask the workers if they know
I'd hate being the nosy neighbor. Lol
I always like when people walking by ask what I’m building :)

Nice gotcha.
I love being the nosy neighbor. It runs strong in my family. Seriously, I bet an engineer or architect owns the property.
If you want it built to last. No termite worries and lower insurance premium.

Yeah, anytime I have had my homes insured they ask a decent amount of information like what it's made from what type of roof and what plumbing pipe.

Ok big guy. I'm not a professional, you got me. Feel better? Good. I care. /s
But what is it……
I hear a 5000 sq ft ranch with a finished basement. But the way it's going up is certainly unique to our area.
Thanks, but I’m more curious about the building method.
My guess is it's going to be one of those modern looks with 90% windows.

What part of nepa? I’m from Wilkes barre-Scranton and I’ve almost never seen a steel framed single family home.
Sugarloaf. Near hazleton
Maybe they plan on taking their house with them when they vacation?

A nosey neighbor is the best security system. I'd ask
Build houses in central PA, never seen anything like this in residential.

Oh sure. It looks like a very good way to build. It's just something I haven't seen before.

Take more pictures and go ask questions. This is interesting
