This phase concerns the primary construction of the home so the chief need here is volunteer building labor. The site will likely be fairly remote but the choice of home structure will greatly reduce the needed labor overhead. The construction will be in five to seven stages depending on the specific pavilion structure used. Since much depends on the specific home design and pavilion structure available, the details in this list are very preliminary and may change greatly as the work in Phase One progresses.

-Site Preparation: Need basic pre-construction site preparation and landscape work as per the needs of the foundation and waste handling systems. May also include roadway grading with surface treatment using Perma-Zyme enzyme based road stabilization treatment as an alternative to gravel and asphalt road coverings.

-Waste Treatment System Install: Calls for basic excavation work and and installation of septic tank, leach field, and/or graywater dispersal hardware. May also include underground water tank installation depending on type available.

-Foundation construction: This covers construction of slab or raised concrete deck foundation or formed-in-place foundation piers. Pin-Pier foundation modules, if used, would be installed as part of the pavilion construction. This work may also include outdoor deck or walkway fabrication is based on formed-in-place concrete.

-Pavilion: This covers the labor involved in constructing the pavilion structures used for the home and carport. The amount of labor required will depend on the structure type. Prefab pavilion structures will likely include labor as part of their donation as they often rely on specialized building crews. A masonry based pavilion will have the highest labor requirement depending on the need for formwork. included with that would also be labor for the crafting of concrete textile block style tiles if used as a decorative finish. The lowest labor approach would be based on modular component framing, which will require little more than simple hand tools.

-Enclosure Installation: This covers the installation of the glass or hybrid panel system completing the enclosure of the space. This stage is likely elimiated by the use of the modular component framing systems as these enclosure elements are integrated into that framing system with standardized components.

-Interior Finish: This covers the installation of flooring and ceiling systems not included as part of the basic pavilion structure as well as possible non-load-bearing partition wall panels, plumbing, wiring, and primary utilities systems. This would also be the stage where solar power systems are installed.

-Video and Photography: Optional but very helpful for documenting this project, this consists of the photography and videography used to document the day-by-day work on the home for presentation on this web site.
