AVRAME Trio 120 Beginning Stages Colorado A-Frame

‪@AVRAME‬ structural kit 120 going up in Rocky Mountains. Great product to work with so far. Subscribe for more videos on finishing this project. Thanks for the support & God Bless -

[@MisfitMountainMama]

Too many folks concerned with the camera lens or quality of video. This is a construction video. They are not cinematographers. The other part is the part to focus on…the construction. I would be suspicious if these guys were GQ models with a team of videographers, personally. I found it interesting, guys! Wanna build one of these! I think the land around me would be massively expensive and if I could find some acreage without restrictions, it’d be off grid. Sounds romantic. But a single woman in a heavily snow covered area with dangerous freezing temps at times, may have to ponder that one pretty hard. Until my next life, I’ll keep watching and dreaming!

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

Well said....except for the part when you said we weren't GQ Models!!

What a cool project!

[@sarwerahmed]

amazing project

[@joezen1693]

Great vid. Looking to building one also, very insightful

De lujo felicitaciones

[@thetruckersmanifesto3873]

I um. My fist A-frame I built, my helper nocked me off the roof. Broke my back, hip, don't remember the fall but coming to, still a night terror to remember.

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

Sorry to hear that. I know what I’m signing up for, thanks.

[@degraham9198]

Great music.

[@user-qy1ik1wh1t]

Maybe next time don't use a fish lense, hard to see and very distracting. Otherwise looks awesome!

[@codymcdonald3533]

Great work! If only you were located in Northern Wisconsin, currently trying to find someone to build a Avrame Trio 150. Seems like many contractors are scared of “kits”… Any recommendations, could this be a self-build?

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

Find a way to get your foundation and concrete done by a professional and I'll come out for 2 weeks and erect the kit. You can do pretty much everything from there. Quality contractors shouldn't be scared of kits! If you have construction background or carpentry skills you could get the structural kit erected, otherwise I would not recommend. Hope this helps and good luck!

[@paulhallion8203]

Hi mate, sick videos! how thick are the LVLs for the frame?

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

Thanks, 1 3/4 inch for thickness. I believe they are 14" for width.

[@Mrcox421]

Hey did you’re footings call for vertical dowels? Getting ready to build one in Bailey. Thanks!

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

Yeah you need vertical dowels centered in the middle of your 8" wall to connect footings to stem wall. So if your footing is 16" wide you want them 8" from outside footing form. We usually tie our dowels in place before we pour footings but you can also cut and bend them so inspector sees them and stab them after you pour once your concrete has had time to set up.

[@dustincreager4]

Where in Colorado was this? Looking at the Avrame kits and would love to have some one that has used their kit before doing the construction.

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

Twin Lakes, CO

[@yavuzzengin2112]

Do you need permits, Architect , engineer signed & sealed proof drawings etc to built something like that ?

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

yes

[@mufasa471]

What size of crew and what was the timeline from beginning to end for the Structure and Shell?

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

2 guys & it took around 60 days from sill plate to last sheet of OSB for roofing. An experienced crew of 4 or more could do it in 2 weeks.

[@everettepennington5072]

If they had regional teams i could see them selling more of these. Id buy one but dont think my local contractor could handle this and or it would cost a fortune

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

Hopefully we can get to the point where someone buys the product and the company gives me a call to erect the kit (if its in the region) for a lump sum fee. Great product but yeah you have to know what you're doing.

[@onlyscience7120]

Trio 120 rafters are 32 ft., why not using a full/jointless I-joist (max 43 ft.)?

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

LVL are the materials sold as part of structural kit for Avrame.

[@siddhi4126]

what was total cost?

[@2feetsolomon]

Question do they do this in denver or only utah

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

They ship nationwide I believe. I have spoken with people from Washington to New Jersey

[@2feetsolomon]

Thank u

[@Elon2024]

What does it cost to build this if i already have the land without utilities?

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

depends on a lot of things, including the state you're building in. The exterior interior structural kit costs 149K.

[@mathewwhite1302]

What size timber is on the main roofs frame

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

LVL @ 9" is the top of the truss above second floor joist. Believe LVL @ 11" is bottom of truss below second floor

for the structural yes

@@IRONHORSEhomes I've always wanted to build an A frame. I really like this design.

[@colintalkstech]

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Would you be open to sharing who you contracted to build this, and total budgeted build costs that you have estimated (without the land etc.)? We are looking into buying land and building an Avrame trio as well! EDIT: Just checked your profile and it appears you are the builder. Could you share a good email address for me to send you a note?

[@Dorchwoods]

You're probably looking at roughly 300k to build a trio 100. That's about what we'll be at here in Maine. Not including land or anything

[@colintalkstech]

@@Dorchwoods that roughly lines up with my calculations. Thanks! Have you started your build yet? If so, are you vlogging it?

[@rumitaification]

@@Dorchwoods I’m assuming that’s the price including the kit?

[@Dorchwoods]

@@rumitaification yeah that's including the kit, well, foundation and septic. Prices have dropped a bunch so it's looking like it might be closer to the 250k range at this point

Please take the camera off your head as you turn away from the headache! You can't turn head too fast!

[@michaelgardner2581]

Another 3ft you could have had a basement wasted space

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

Basements are between 8-10'. Saved more than 60k by not doing the basement just in excavation and concrete costs, not to mention what interior finishes, appliances, etc would cost. Adequate space within the floor plan at more than 1500 square feet. Crawlspace still gives heaps of room for storage, etc.

[@kayladenette2050]

does it come with instructions like ikea ? 🤣

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

haha It's probably easier to build then some of the stuff Ikea tries to sell!

[@iyabomarvel8506]

@@IRONHORSEhomes did you use a general contractor? Also how much did it cost to add utilities on the land? And approx how much would it cost for a general contractor to do this and are you able to finance the build with a construction loan?

[@IRONHORSEhomes]

@@iyabomarvel8506 I am a state licensed General Contractor. We typically charge 12-20% of the overall cost of construction to manage the project. email me at [e-mail] for any other questions regarding pricing.

[@anthonytoscano5632]

The most useless building ever, I'm sorry, but every time you go in one, duck your head. A waste of materials and labor I was in an A Frame of sorts The base was 4 ft high and the frame mounted to that, thus no banging and ducking, nice set up.
