    Titan Interiors Named to Walls & Ceilings National List of Top 50 Contractors for Two Years in a Row – PR Web (press release) - August 16, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Titan Interiors performed the finishing work on the interior of St. Luke University Parish near Grand Valley State University in Allendale.

    Grand Rapids, Michigan (PRWEB) August 11, 2017

    Titan Interiors LLC, a Grand Rapids, Mich.-based contractor specializing in metal stud framing and drywall installation, was named two years in a row to Walls & Ceilings magazines national list of Top 50 Contractors, one of only two Michigan companies to appear on the list.

    Titan Interiors President Bahrudin Rudy Kadiric said he was honored and humbled that his company was highlighted again by Walls & Ceilings as an exceptional contractor in the interior building trade.

    We must be doing something right to be selected two years in a row, said Kadiric, who founded the company seven years ago with his brother Muhamed. I think two keys to our success are leadership by example and our high standards of workmanship.

    Titan Interiors and the other contractors on the list have exhibited numerous skill-sets that warrant them among the best, said John Wyatt, the magazines editor. All in all, their talents have sustained their business model and made them industry leaders. A monthly magazine with approximate national circulation of 30,000, Walls & Ceilings provides news and information of interest to wall and ceiling contractors, architects, dealers/distributors and other industry professionals.

    While he said that Titan Interiors treats every job as if it were a million dollar project, Kadiric said he is especially proud of work that demands creative problem solving and strong project management, such as the high profile 20 Monroe Live entertainment complex, the first Hilton Garden Inn to be built in Grand Rapids, and the St. Luke University Parish in Allendale. Titan Interiors posted revenues of $12.4 million last year in commercial/industrial drywall projects, comparable to the revenues the year before.

    Kadiric said the company has a peak staff of about 200 that provide high-quality interior and exterior framing, drywall installation, insulation, acoustical and specialty ceilings, acoustical sound panels, EIFS/stucco, flooring and painting.

    We are very pleased to have nearly doubled the number of team members we are working with in the West Michigan region from the prior year, he said. That sets the stage for further growth of Titan Interiors. But we also want controlled growth, so that we never sacrifice our emphasis on quality workmanship that our customers expect.

    Prices | Drywall Installation and Taping Services Toronto … - July 7, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    If the area of your BASEMENT is 700-1,200 sq. ft. you would need a budget of about $4,700 $12,650. The package would include installation of 1/2 ceiling board, installation of 1/2 regular drywall on walls and bulkheads, installation of 1/2 water resistant drywall in the bathroom, installation of 1/2 densshield in bathroom tiled areas, installation of metal corner bids, taping and sending of new drywall, smooth ceiling, ready for primer. Labour materials and delivery included.

    If the area of your HOUSE is 1,200-3,500 sq.ft. you would need a budget of about $6,800 $36,200 The package would include installation of 1/2 ceiling board, installation of 1/2 regular drywall on walls and bulkheads, installation of 1/2 water resistant drywall in the bathrooms, installation of 1/2 densshield in bathrooms tiled areas, installation of metal corner bids, taping and sending of new drywall, smooth ceiling, ready for primer. Labour materials and delivery included.

    How we price the drywall installation? There are several methods we use when we have to price the drywall job. Preliminary quote on drywall boarding can be issued over a telephone based on the square footage of the area that needs drywall installation. As drywall contractors we need to know the total area of drywall board for the rough quote. We usually ask over the phone total floor area and clarify if the area is an open concept or divided on section/rooms. Than we ask about ceiling height. The formula for open concept area on drywall installation total square footage is floor area square footage multiplied by 3.5 , for the area with rooms: floor area sq footage multiplied by 4. For example, if we required to install drywall in the house that has 5000 sq foot of the floor area with 8 ceiling height and open concept, than amount of the drywall board that we will have to install will be roughly 50003.5=17500 sq ft. Than we multiply the total square footage of the drywall board by the price per square foot. Of course it works the best if the drywalled area doesnt have custom features like multiple custom shaped skylights, cathedral ceilings in rooms and unusually shaped entrances, amount of corner beads also play role in the drywall installation pricing. In the case of custom situation it will be the best to arrange for a visit of our certified professional drywall estimator to get more accurate quote. To find out more you can always contact or call us at 647 866 0201 and we will be happy to help you with your drywall installation price .

    Today I want to talk about our Drywall Taping Prices and teach you how to calculate the exact cost for your home project.

    If you apply this simple formula, you will quickly and accurately calculate the right price for your drywall taping project.

    Follow these steps:

    [square feet on floor area] X [4 (four) to get the sq.ft of ceiling(regular height 8) and walls of entire area] X [price per sq.ft.] = [total price for labour drywall taping, mudding and sanding]

    Bison Turf in final stages of reconstruction, owner expects August … – West Fargo Pioneer - July 7, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Sabo said the exterior of the building at 1211 N. University Drive is complete, electrical installation is finished, and plumbing will be done within the next two days. A new rooftop patio deck is set to be finished in a week or two, he added.

    The Bison Turf passed inspections for electrical and heating in late June, said Bruce Taralson, Fargo inspections administrator. Plumbing will be inspected once completed, and a framing inspection for the structure will take place after that.

    "Once this has all passed, they can start on the interior," Taralson said,

    Sabo said inside the building, crews need to add drywall, lay down flooring and install all appliances. Sabo expects this will put the reopening of the Bison Turf off for several more weeks.

    "I'm hoping for the end of July, but it'll probably be August," he said.

    When Sabo's building permit was approved in January, he hoped to open for business as early as the end of March. In late March, he expected a May reopening.

    Sabo said complying with the city of Fargo building codes, such as adding larger water pipes and a sprinkler system, took longer than he expected.

    Once finished, the inside of the Bison Turf will be familiar for returning customers. All of the booths, tables and other furniture that were saved from the flames will be returned. Sabo said a lot of his original staff will also return.

    He plans to hire more staff to help with the increase in customers he expects from added seating and a second bar on the rooftop patio.

    Appalachia Service Project returns to Johnson County to make more home repairs – The Tomahawk - July 6, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Appalachia Service Project volunteers mix some fun and good times with lots of hard work while making repairs on nine homes in Johnson County this summer.

    By Paula Walter

    Volunteers with the Appalachia Service Project (ASP) have returned to Johnson County again this year. They are making repairs on nine homes in the county during the summer months. ASP is a Christian ministry that was founded in 1969. In the past 48 years since its beginnings, ASP has sent 393,486 volunteers to help 17,866 families in 26 counties in Kentucky, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee and West Virginia. This year, volunteers for Johnson County came from Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Oregon, along with four staffers who call Idaho, Delaware, Connecticut and Washington, DC home. According to Kira Castle, the center director, this years volunteers will be working on homes in need of various repairs in Trade, Neva, Laurel and in Mountain City. ASP picks the projects based on the needs in the county. We try to establish good relations with the county, said Castle. The main goal is to eradicate sub-standard housing in Appalachia. A huge part of the ministry is the relationship aspect and transforming the lives of those we touch. We like to call it a relationship ministry with construction on the side. There are approximately 60-65 volunteers who arrive every Sunday. The new group comes in and the old group goes home. This year, they are staying once again in the Trade Grist Mill. We are incredibly grateful, said Castle. We couldnt do what we do without them. Currently there are nine crews in the county. The volunteers each pay approximately $350 to come and work on the projects to improve the lives of others. Adult leaders head each group, and there are five to six youth per team. Applications for assistance can be found around the county, including the community center and the Johnson County Department of Human Services, and are accepted on a rolling basis. The staff goes through the applications, visits the homes, and then makes the determination of what homes ASP will be able to improve. We look for both short and long term projects so we can touch as many homes as possible, Castle said. We touch about 10-15 homes in the county. The group takes a look at their budget and the skill level of their volunteers before approving any project. This year, they are working on a variety of projects that include roofing, sub-flooring and joists, drywall, installation, siding and underpinning and putting in an entire bathroom. He had never had a bathroom in his home before, Castle said. She attributes a large part of their success to the assistance received from Johnson County. I cannot get over the community, she said. According to Castle, one of the projects in the county this year included putting in a wheelchair ramp. Castle was touched by the homeowner who expressed joy over her new wheelchair ramp because now it is possible for her best friend can come and visit her. She was the most humble person Ive met, Castle said. Our homeowners are amazing, so receptive and super thankful.

    Brand-new building pitched for Lexington Children’s Place – Wicked Local Abington - July 6, 2017 by Mr HomeBuilder

    By Kaitlin Junod lexington@wickedlocal.com

    The Lexington Permanent Building Committee and DiNisco Design met on Wednesday to discuss the progress of the construction at Clarke and Diamond Middle Schools, the Hastings School and the new preschool and community center at Pelham Road. While all projects are progressing on schedule and on budget, DiNisco presented new design elements and adjustments for the Hastings School and the Pelham Road site.

    Pelham Road

    Following a summit meeting of the Board of Selectmen and the School, Appropriation and Capital Expenditures Committees earlier this month, Donna DiNisco of DiNisco Design reported that the final decision at the Pelham Road project is to tear down the existing building and construct a new Lexington Childrens Place. A robust schematic design is projected to be ready to present at the fall special Town Meeting, scheduled for Oct. 16 and 18.

    While the design for a brand-new LCP is moving forward, plans to devote part of the Pelham Road site to an expansion of the Lexington Community Center have been put on the back burner for now. At a summit meeting in August, committee members and selectmen will decide on the projects next steps.

    We just want to continue to look at it holistically to see what makes sense from the community center aspect of it, DiNisco said. Its taking a pause and not rushing into a decision that might not ultimately be the best decision for the community center.

    Hastings Elementary

    The Hastings Elementary School project is officially in the design development stage, said DiNisco. The biggest change to the buildings design was the decision to shift its orientation slightly south to increase the space between the school and the bordering properties to the north and reduce the length of the retaining wall between them.

    According to DiNisco, shifting the building further south would increase the distance between property lines from 30-35 feet to 60 feet in some places, but it would not affect the overall square footage of the building. The adjusted design would have some impacts on the outdoor space, reducing walkways and planted areas near the playground.

    Andrew Clarke and Curt Barrentine of the Permanent Building Committee expressed concern that the students would be losing out on active play space, but DiNisco said she was confident that the total 43,000 square feet of play area could be maintained. She emphasized that the design is still in the works, and that the plans presented at the meeting were not finalized.

    The only downside of shifting the building would be compromising the north-south solar orientation of the classrooms, which was the driving factor behind the old design. This means that with the shifted building, some classrooms could experience glare from the sun depending on the time of day, but DiNisco said these impacts were not major, and were outweighed by the budgetary and logistical benefits of the new design.

    Clarke and Diamond

    June was a productive month for the Clarke Middle School project, according to a report made to the committee. Demolition for the interior renovation began, as did preparations for relocating the gas line at the bridge. In July, permanent power will be installed, interior demolition will be completed and a pedestrian bridge will be installed. Demolition at the entry plaza and parking lot will also be completed, with the hopes of installing underlying structures and new utilities there.

    At the Diamond Middle School project, drywall in the classroom addition is complete, with the prime and first coats of paint finished. Throughout June, priorities included demolishing the buildings existing boilers and starting installation of lockers, flooring and ceiling tiles. In July, the committee hopes to finish installing lockers, start millwork and have permanent power at the site completed.
