Thank you kind stranger for the little bit of extra information you provided. I am currently working on a house myself and trying to figure out what to do with the core.
I am more intrigued by the lack of an underlying gravel layer and better soil treatment in general, before the pouring of concrete. This soil doesn't seem well compacted, although I am sure this house is just fine anyway. I would always take extra measures with the foundation, in every possible way.
I appreciate you for taking this time to write this comment. You taught me a few things with this, and im grateful. Have a blessed and happy live👍 Greetings from Finland!
American construction is always interesting to watch. In my country we make the ground beam on top of the soil and construct a formwork from wood to shape it instead of using the soil. We only dig the soil to make the footing. Even for that we use wood to make the shape.
cool how cheap the foundation can be when you not have any ground frost during winter... build the same here in sweden and it would collapse in februari :D :D
It's in Florida. they have no clue what Frost is. this house is made like a brick shit house because of the Yearly Hurricanes. Up here in New England , we have no choice but to use Wood. COLD ass winters here.

Actually, in Florida concrete houses are common nowadays because they learned from all the hurricanes. What most people dont realize is that although concrete houses are significantly more expensive to build, its a worthy investment. Youre never gonna spend a penny on sidings EVER. virtually no maintenance, sound insulated and is hurricane, tornado and bullet proof (to a certain caliber of course) Ive been in a house with all poured concrete walls around and it feels like a fortress in there.
Amazing! Florida is way ahead of the other US states: No worker was treated as a child and forced into wearing protective gear and - hell, not even the child was discriminated for beeing a child and sent away from the building site. And Im especcially happy to see, that over time, americans found out that concrete is the building material not only for the foundation of a private home! I wonder how much longer it will take them to use it for the inner walls, ceillings and stairs as well or at least try out stones and cement....
@@johnwalczak9202 Thats a good point, but on the other hand the tech for earthquake resiting buildings made out of steel and concrete is also not new anymore.
its really interesting to see how people build around the world.... like in the usa just poor concrete into the ground... but if u do that here in the Netherlands... they sue u.... and u have to have piles and build with prefab concrete walls
It won't take any longer vs framed house. It will add a bit more to the budget, but not critical difference by any means. It took about a year to built this one ( plus another year for planning and permitting)
If you want the house to be solid, the place you dig where the walls have to be built, had to stay for 1 year because land had to be fortified. Time after time the land will go down, because of severity. (Hope understand.)
This was my Phantom 3 Pro, its no longer working for some misterious reason. Im not buying any DJI products, waiting for my new Skydio, hopefully by December
@@tinika2 Awesome, thanks for replying. Should've known it was a pretty expensive drone haha, the video has no vibration artefacts and amazing clarity :)
Nice build and thanks for posting. I own a house in Venice Fl about 20 miles from you. How difficult was it to get owner builder permits? I have a residential builders license in Michigan but no reciprocity for my license here?
It's not very difficult Mike, but Sarasota building department is notoriously SLOW. If you are in Venice, maybe you'll have a better luck. My permits took a whole year to get.
Floors are wood, to do concrete was way more cost prohibited, on this size of the building. But it was my intention on the planning stage. Ive build few houses with concrete panels before, its super nice, but takes alot of planning and money to make it right
The costs varies alot, depending on ...well everything. Ill make another video explaining the cost structure of new houses, the actual savings vs ready to go house though are significant, about 35-40% less.
@@tinika2 uh, where is the next video, did they use piling for the foundation, under the concrete. Is this north Fl, can you connect all the videos. I always thought that houses should use blocking bricks.
Oh my building friend 😁, you just wait until you manage a real life construction project, please take care of you heart and mental capacity, also a decrease in active vocabulary is a serious side effect of construction management jobs 🤭
I was a professional land surveyor for many years. I recall working in the TN mountains for about a year and went to the county to get the regulations for building. When I asked for those regulations the lady said, "Honey you can build whatever you want". There were no such regulations. I was shocked!
Im surprised you are not using green or blue drywall. Being that close to the water and the possibility of hurricanes greater it would make better sense. Are you going to install shutters over the window and doors? That would allow you to close up your house in the event of bad weather. The fact that you poured cement into the block cells makes it that much stronger. I wonder which has a stronger wind load tolerance, my ICF walls at 18 inches thick or your cement block walls?
Purple is a new green Michael, they paint them different now. white walls are thick fire resistant panels. Window are double layer glass, also hurricane rated. There are no reason to install shutters as house is way to tall to be able to reach any if the windows. As for hurricanes, we are living in Florida for over 20 years and they are not as horrible as tv news are showing, cat 5 will level anything, the rest we can handle :)✌️
@@tinika2 If you have ever been through a major natural disaster which I have and helped clean up after you should always do anything a little extra to make your house even stronger and safer. You'd be surprised how many folks forget to install drywall from the ceiling down and to leave the 1/2 gap up off the floor. I have a set of panels that I built to set across the back of the house and up the side that locks together and will keep floods out up to 6 feet. Every little bit helps.
It's really depends on location and materials used. When you are ready to pull something like this, the price shouldn't be a concern. It's always double for sure 🤣
@@tinika2 I recently bought 2000 block and I'm trying to build something nice in my country, so that's why I ask the question, I wanted to know what can 2000-3000 block gets me
@@chrisjoshua5463 Measure the length and height of the block in inches and then substitute the values in the equation square feet of block = (length of block x height of block) / 144. For example, a standard cement block measures 16 x 8 inches, so it covers 0.89 square feet - (16 x 8) / 144 = 0.89.
Retired contractor, you really have some nice comments. Had this house been built in Asia you would have had people slamming you for lack of OSHA rules. Nice process, what was your slab thickness and was it tied into the cinder block, do you have a "safe room" for the occasional hurricane and or tornado. Is there some type of protection against lightning?
Absolutely! An entire Florida is going under the sea eventually due to tectonic shift. It can even go under faster if global warming will accelerate the process. So, as you can see - there are no reason for stronger foundation :)
About how much did this cost to build? Didn't realize it was in Sarasota till you put the water in the video. I used to live there and want to move back but the home prices are scary 😬
Yep, Sarasota always was very expensive area for real estate, this is why ive decided to build it myself. But if you really look for a deals , you may still find a deal, especially now. If you decided to build a custom home, ill definitely help you out 😊
@@tinika2 will u help me too? I am moving to port charlotte gona build a wall structure as well... Lol... Looking for a reasonable contractor. I will purchase my own materials or atleast let me know wts the process to file pprwk in dept of building? Thnx....
Josh, i can walk you through the process, and explain you what's need to be done. But youll have to find a local contractor to handle paperwork locally it will speed up the process as different municipalities have a different building codes
@@tinika2 thank you for your feed back. I live in NYC. You can email the process when you are not too busy to joashnow@gmail.com. If you know any local reasonable contractors please let me know as well. Thank you again
@@tinika2 I never found Sarasota to be expensive compared to the east coast of Florida. I stay on Longboat Key every year with family and although the key is very expensive, the mainland Sarasota seems to be way more affordable.
Question: Is that a sloping roof? or is it all at the same elevation.? I'm shocked that Sarasota County would allow such a foundation. Most of FL regs call for either a concrete slab or stilts. Odd.
it is a 3 degrees sloping roof, it does look flat, but it's not. Also the roof is white to reflect most of the sun to keep temperature down. It works really great. If you want to see it - click here ruclips.net/video/g3zqDuB9tEc/видео.html . This is my solar set-up for the house
I'm originally from Guam pacific island, houses, commercial bldg. and even hotel were all concretes. I don't see anything wrong with that, we have had typhoon there and not tornados, or whatever. Guam has typhoons with wind and rain that hit the island gusting up to 190 to 230 miles of per hour. Also for like 4 to 6 hours of strong win. Guam is good 🇺🇸🇬🇺🙏🏼😇🙏🏼
Where is the rebar and concrete inside the blocks to give them the strength to handle storms. No wonder your buildings fall down in a storm or tornado. The rebar and concrete has to go all the way to the roof to hold the roof down.
Where is your attention to details? It will give you strength to look more credible to handle a fury of replies. No wonder your comments fall down flat on their face in a squall of others :) Love you my building bro, but pun intended.
Random question: were you the general contractor for this build? Just curious about how you were able to record the whole build. Is this (recording the site 25/7) something that needs to be put into the contract? Would love to learn more about this; thank you in advance!
I just did it for fun really. You can set any time lapse cameras around for a most "action days" Since it's my own property, I don't need any permissions to film it. Most of the days are actually boring, during the building process, but there are few very "actionable" So try to catch those days 😁👌
@@tinika2 thank you for the prompt response and same, I really enjoy doing time lapse videos. What equipment did you use? The reason I asked about the recording was because I wasn’t sure if this was something that needed to be discussed or negotiated with the contractor or not.
Thank you 😊👍, this style called "modern contemporary" and it's exactly as you described. My second home on the beach is more of "romantic villa" type, but I can't concentrate on work there and be productive at all 🤣
@@tinika2 I appreciate your candor. They put prisoners in sterile boxes in order to de-humanize them. I'm well aware of the style and the trendy impetus behind it. Aside from the cost-cutting aspects of the construction and the wholly inappropriate interface with the Florida environment, there is indeed a certain segment of our society just as unnaturally inclined as those boxes who're the driving force behind these architectural abominations. The rest of the crowd are merely monkey see, monkey do. Been in Sarasota over 30 years and it's a shame to see our lovely communities being defaced with this plague of cell blocks..
@@jaynareynolds3684 Perhaps, but fashion and trends are changing very often, in a way, if it ever was a true "Florida Style" it will be popular everywhere, instead we have a patch work of different communities and tastes. Old Spanish style was replaces by "byzantine" and Baroque in early 20's, then comes an abominations of 50's-60's, I don't even want to mention stagnation "plywood" style of early 80"s. I guess the real home is INSIDE of the structure, whatever the style it is :)
Agree on idea, but It's just too hot to be on the roof, plus we have a huge Lanai already...we don't use for the same reason. Florida climate is definitely not California, or though it looks similar on pictures 😁
It has, every few feet there are metal bars and fillers, it's called reinforced concrete. You can see bars sticking out of the base in the beginning of the video.
Homo sapiens are usually social creatures. Even neanderthals were known for group hunting for big game. Unless you are unknown human super-species, it's probably impossible to do such job alone.
@@tinika2 my dad built a few houses. did most of the work himself. me, my brothers, and a few of his friends helped. only things he contracted out were the foundation and the drywall. and he had to re-mud all the drywall.
probably the first American house built I watch that is not made of cardboard ^^
Me too
You've probably been watching homeless people building shelters out of cardboard, lol
@@MrJohndolphin nope, just regular homes... that burn very well and get wiped out each time it's windy Oo

AMAZING!!! you guys are totally awsome building your own family dream house. The house design was perfect for a family home. Nice work.
American construction is always interesting to watch. In my country we make the ground beam on top of the soil and construct a formwork from wood to shape it instead of using the soil. We only dig the soil to make the footing. Even for that we use wood to make the shape.
It's safer with beams and footings. Probably your country has higher earthquake risk.

Very good and great tips easy way to build houses
Thanks for share, nice house!
Thank you 😊💕
cool how cheap the foundation can be when you not have any ground frost
during winter... build the same here in sweden and it would collapse in februari :D :D
I was just thinking about how small the foundation is and rain still exists , perhaps it won't affect it as much as I think..
Southeast asia have a lot of small earthquakes... it's not good to have a weak foundation especially for 2/3 floors :(
Its true, however we are lucky here, ground if fairly stable, well maybe except sinkholes....

Random question: were you the general contractor for this build? Just curious about how you were able to record the whole build. Is this (recording the site 25/7) something that needs to be put into the contract? Would love to learn more about this; thank you in advance!
I just did it for fun really. You can set any time lapse cameras around for a most "action days" Since it's my own property, I don't need any permissions to film it. Most of the days are actually boring, during the building process, but there are few very "actionable" So try to catch those days 😁👌
@@tinika2 thank you for the prompt response and same, I really enjoy doing time lapse videos. What equipment did you use?
The reason I asked about the recording was because I wasn’t sure if this was something that needed to be discussed or negotiated with the contractor or not.
Здравствуйте! Подскажите пожалуйста какого размера ваши блоки ? которые использовали при строительстве дома Заранее благодарю

@@tinika2 Извините, я из России , не очень понимаю 8*12 инчей Можно в см пожалуйста
1 инч = 2.54 см
@@tinika2 hi a house made of bricks is much more expensive than a house made of wood?
I wish you had a full series of the whole construction instead of a timelapse
:) I was a little busy... building
How long did it take to build?
About 2 years, 1 year for planning and permitting, and another for construction itself
@@tinika2 actually pretty fast for a custom house.
Supper thanks
Thank you too!
Looks like an industrial factory building. Cold and heartless. Just like the times in which we live.
Thank you 😊👍, this style called "modern contemporary" and it's exactly as you described. My second home on the beach is more of "romantic villa" type, but I can't concentrate on work there and be productive at all 🤣

@@tinika2 I appreciate your candor. They put prisoners in sterile boxes in order to de-humanize them. I'm well aware of the style and the trendy impetus behind it. Aside from the cost-cutting aspects of the construction and the wholly inappropriate interface with the Florida environment, there is indeed a certain segment of our society just as unnaturally inclined as those boxes who're the driving force behind these architectural abominations. The rest of the crowd are merely monkey see, monkey do.
Been in Sarasota over 30 years and it's a shame to see our lovely communities being defaced with this plague of cell blocks..
@@jaynareynolds3684 Perhaps, but fashion and trends are changing very often, in a way, if it ever was a true "Florida Style" it will be popular everywhere, instead we have a patch work of different communities and tastes. Old Spanish style was replaces by "byzantine" and Baroque in early 20's, then comes an abominations of 50's-60's, I don't even want to mention stagnation "plywood" style of early 80"s. I guess the real home is INSIDE of the structure, whatever the style it is :)
Fundament ohne Bewehrung???
Bay shore cir Nice
I want my own house !!
I hope ive inspired you to do it 😁👍. Its an awesome goal and lots of fun. Definitely a thing to checkmark on your Big To Do list. 😉
Would have been cool if they added a third floor roofdeck or built 4 stories and added a roofdeck. I see they’re not far from bay or canal.
Agree on idea, but It's just too hot to be on the roof, plus we have a huge Lanai already...we don't use for the same reason. Florida climate is definitely not California, or though it looks similar on pictures 😁
The foundation is too thin. In Uganda the termites and anthills would bust right through in a few months.
please help me to build my own house,
What do you want to know pers? Its a fun thing to do, with a right mindset 😉
Well done, but you wouldn't get away with a foundation like that in FL. Still, good job!
This is here in Sarasota, Florida I live in Palm Beach County, Florida
Now this is heavy duty made of concrete.
well would be excellent, but there is no concrate in those brickforms
It has, every few feet there are metal bars and fillers, it's called reinforced concrete. You can see bars sticking out of the base in the beginning of the video.
did you actually "build" your house, or did you pay through the nose for contractors to do it for you?
Homo sapiens are usually social creatures. Even neanderthals were known for group hunting for big game. Unless you are unknown human super-species, it's probably impossible to do such job alone.
@@tinika2 my dad built a few houses. did most of the work himself. me, my brothers, and a few of his friends helped. only things he contracted out were the foundation and the drywall. and he had to re-mud all the drywall.
what app did you design the house on?
"chief architect" but there are plenty of even better options right now. Ill make a video about planning software very soon
@@tinika2 ⁹
This is great. I thought Americans build with wood only.
House or Apartment block 🤔
You probably can do an entire block, or insulate your space, if units have a shared vent system.
TrikeFlyer lol no - it’s that large 😉
Why do they have an overhangs on the stairs? It's tripping hazard.!
Ahmad, pushing buttons may cause a Carpal tunnel syndrome, but you DO like it alot. Did you get my drift?😆
That girl knows how to enjoy life - She looks a lot happier than Greta :)
This isn’t exactly a how To video on learning to build but a progression video. Still interesting to look at and you can learn a thing or two.
