Summary:
Nearly 1,500 Square Feet of New Life
825 Sq. Ft. Great Room with 44-Foot Cathedral Trusses | Vision-Built Hidden Bookcase Pantry Door & Stone Fireplace Hearth | Sunroom, Home Office & Covered Outdoor Patio
This New Richmond home addition nearly doubled the family’s living space — adding a vaulted great room, sunroom, home office, arts and crafts studio, and covered patio in a single seven-month build. Vision Construction fabricated the custom stone fireplace hearth and hidden bookcase pantry door in-house, and set 44-foot cathedral trusses that give the great room a scale and presence that feels far beyond an addition.
This addition consisted of adding nearly 1500 Sq. Ft. to the home, 825 Sq. Ft. being the Great Room, 150 Sq. Ft. Office, 275 Sq. Ft. Sunroom & Covered Patio.
The addition provided a large open concept space as a central space for the family for both indoor & outdoor living.

Challenges & Solutions
Upgrading Electrical Service
Challenge:
Lots of coordinating, extra work, trenching, etc.
Solution:
Additional time was taken in this phase to ensure all fixtures were supplied and drained properly. However, this did not affect the overall estimated timeframe.
44’ Cathedral Trusses
Challenge:
Setting the trusses was more tedious than anticipated, with tight quarters for the crane to operate.
Solution:
Additional time and care was taken to ensure these large trusses were craned in and set properly. However, this did not affect the overall estimated timeframe.
What to Expect
Design Phase
Layout & Materials were chosen by the customer, via architectural drawings & specs.
Project Planning
With the layout & materials chosen we assembled the project timeline, sub-contracted phases (Primarily Concrete & HVAC) & internal team phases to set expectations early on.
Customer Onboarding:
The customer is given access to Buildertrend, a platform where we manage all of our projects, providing the customer with daily updates for completed phases, submit change orders, secured payments & more.
Project Preparation
With the designs confirmed, selections made, budget set, time frame arranged & signed project proposal it was time to get started. With all material selections made, ordering was made easy. We ordered the major building materials to the project site and items such as fixtures & flooring to our shop in preparation for the project start date to ensure all items were indeed correct and intact.
