The W Hotel


This might be the worst picture of any post, but its simply all I have at this point because my camera is on the mend. This drawing is of a condo unit at the Brio, located in Midtown. Hardline is bidding this job to transform this unit back into the proposed living space (the plan to your left). The developer of the W Hotel, Midtown, built a "mock" hotel room inside the space to make sure the layout was functional. The idea was to build one hotel room before you go and build 200 of them only to figure out the layout is not functional. The idea was a success, but now that the W is complete, the model can be eliminated. The condo is a great location and will be a great place to call home once the renovation is complete.

Pool House Almost Complete


Here is a current picture of the pool cabana located in Sandy Springs. All that remains to finish this project is the stack stone for the knee wall, the vertical stack of the fireplace, installation of the columns, and paint. Once the stone is complete, the fiberglass columns can be installed around the steel beams to complete the trim package.

Sandy Springs Pool House


We finally started installing the structural steel for the pool house in Sandy Springs. Conventional wood framing could not be used for this pool house for several reasons, mainly to increase the dead weight bearing load of the structure in order to construct the vaulted ceiling. You can see the 6"x6" posts already standing at the 4 corners and some of the 6"x12" tubing on the floor to tie the 4 posts together. The steel was delivered pre-cut and welded on site after careful design by the Structural Engineer and fabrication by the Steel Company.

North Avenue Park Apartment Pool

Updated picture of the construction progress for the North Avenue Park Apartment Pool Hardline is under contract to build. We have been working with the Owner, General Contractor, City of Atlanta, and Fulton County on permitting issues and plan changes in order to have a permit to begin construction this month. The owner of the project supplies us with these great aerial photographs each month or so, hopefully the next post will show a nice hole in the ground for our pool. The pool will be located at the blue oval in the picture.
