The Wall that will Fall

This is another project we are doing consulting work for repair estimates to not only repair the walls, but save the house. We were hired to represent the homeowner on how to prevent this erosion from eventually taking down the house. This house sits on top of 4 walls totaling around 70 vertical feet. At the bottom of these 4 walls is a Lake. As certain as death and taxes, so is erosion: Once erosion starts, it wont stop until the problem is fixed. Hopefully we can save this house from ending up at the bottom of the lake.

Re-construction in Grant Park

Here is a 100 year old home located in the historic district of Grant Park that Hardline has contracted with the owner to rebuild. A 70 year old Oak tree fell into the home, and due to the blunt impact from the tree there is significant structural damage throughout the foundation. It has not been determined yet if we can repair the current structure, or if the structure must be torn down and completely rebuilt. We are working with a structural engineer and the homeowner to evaluate all options. Think of the options like car insurance, it might cost more to repair this house than it will to demolish and build a brand new one. We hope to have a definitive course of action for repair by the end of January.

New Pool Hardline is Building

Here is an aerial photograph of a new apartment site in Midtown where we will be building the community pool. The pool will be to the left of the parking deck where all of the trucks are currently parked.
