Comprehensive Residential Renovation Project
Budget: $1,500 – $3,000 USD
I'm embarking on a staged project with the first portions spanning from Q3 2024 to Q2 2025. I am in need of an experienced and skilled professional(s) to assist me with several key components of this major renovation. The tasks include; plat, site and grading plans, plot plans, renditions and perspectives. Plans shall be complete and include architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical drawings. Ideally this project is for a Nevada State Licensed Architect or Engineer.
- Relocation of the septic leach field: The current leach field has been compromised by several trees planted by previous owners. The new location must be strategized to ensure optimal functionality. I have identified a potential site/area, identified by blue lines, that should meet requirements and is out of any conflicting uses. The blue line from the right would come from the pool house bathroom to existing septic tank. The existing tank is 1500 gallons. An alternate would be a smaller septic closer to the pool hose and then extending to the new leach field.
- Addition of a covered pool area and attached pool house: The pool house will ideally be a pre-fabricated/pre-engineered to be placed on an ICF type foundation, capable of in-floor heat. The building floorplan provided will give an idea of the footprint for the pool house, there is currently no need to duplicate those details and dimensions. Ideally the heat source will be a closed-loop type using evacuated tubes. The pool area will be enclosed and include a wall on 3 sides using ICF blocks as partial roof support. Clerestory type roof will allow year round use. Structure and engineering of the pool cover will be expected in the proposal and can be post and beam using timber or red iron with metal trusses with an insulated metal roof. Insulated walls will retain valuable heat during 3 seasons of the year. Heat for the pool will be provided by a separate closed-loop, evacuated tube system. Roof to be optimized for solar gain during cold winters, layout would be nearly south facing. Pool area should be connected by enclosure to the daylight basement. Additional power for these two structures would ideally be photovoltaic with battery backup, but may have to be commercially available grid power.
This area will serve as a key recreational space and reduce an excess of turf.
- Relocation and addition to fencing: The existing fencing needs to be relocated as part of the broader renovation. Additionally, we plan to extend the fencing to accurately reflect the property boundaries. The HOA has specific rules regarding the fencing.
- Addition to the existing garage: An expansion to the current garage is required to accommodate the changing needs of the household. This portion has a later timeline, but should be considered in the overall change to the property.
HOA, Elko County and State of Nevada requirements to be met as well.
This project necessitates competent, team players with a proven track record in residential renovations, particularly with experience in the tasks listed above. Consideration will be given toward applicants who can demonstrate ability to design using readily available products and construction techniques. In addition, the ideal candidate(s) should have a good eye for design and be able to work in a collaborative environment should this require several providers.
