March 2025 Construction update from JJ Posey, Superintendent, Buchanan Construction
Welcome to our most recent construction update! We’re diving into the progress across four buildings currently underway for Storybook Villas at Reynolds Mountain. From foundation pours to framing stages, there’s a lot happening, and we’re excited to share the progress with you. In this video, you’ll see Buildings 15, 16, 17, and 18 at various stages of development—each with unique features and upgrades. Let’s break it down!
Building 15 A & B: Foundation Work & Premium Upgrades
We kick things off at Building 15, split into units 15A and 15B. This is where the groundwork is literally being laid! The slab here is prepped and ready for inspection, and scheduled. You’ll notice the waterproofing along the walls—a key feature to keep groundwater out, tied into a drainage system beneath the slab. This ensures these homes stay dry and solid for years to come.
Inside, these units are getting some serious upgrades. Think epoxy flooring in the garage of 15A, stained concrete on the lower floors, and unique tile selections that set these homes apart. The lower level boasts a bedroom and flex space, while the main entry is on the upper floor—your driveway leads right in. Plus, there’s a backstop and outdoor space perfect for relaxing. Stay tuned as this one moves forward!
Building 16 B: Framing Stage & Next Steps
Next up, Building 16B is in the framing phase, and it’s buzzing with activity! This week, the crew is finishing the outer walls, and the garage slab is set to be poured. By next week, the roof system goes up—bringing us one step closer to the interior work. Once that’s done, our plumbers, HVAC, and electrical teams will swoop in for the rough-in process.
The main living level here promises stunning views (you’ll see them up close in a future update!), and since 16B is a step ahead of Building 15, expect to see similar progress there in just a couple of weeks. It’s all coming together beautifully!
Building 17 A & B: Foundation Kickoff
Over at Building 17 (A & B), we’re just getting started. The green light came last week to begin the foundation walls, and within the next couple of weeks, this site will mirror the progress you see at Building 15 right now. The crew has been crushing it, and once this stage wraps up, we’ll double-check all structural elements to ensure everything’s perfect. This building is on track to rise quickly—stay tuned for more!
Building 18: Three Stories of Awesome
Saving the best for last—Building 18 is a three-story gem with what might just be the best view in the entire project. The waterproofing is complete, and the slab was poured yesterday, putting us a few days ahead of schedule (score!). This entry-level garage and basement setup includes stairways and an elevator leading to the upper two floors—talk about luxury!
Next, we’ll start framing and backfilling to bring this beauty to life. With its prime location and thoughtful design, Building 18 is one to watch.
The Big Picture: On Track for Fall 2025
From foundation work to framing and site fixes (like tackling sewer line issues), these four buildings showcase a clear progression. My goal? Deliver all four by mid-to-late September or early October 2025. With the momentum we’ve got, I’m confident we’re off to a solid start.
