#BIMABUILT THIS WEEK
Landscaping
Landscaping at Bima has been coming along well! Trees, nature and the environment is a core element of preservation at Bima Properties Group. With so much natural greenery and a diverse landscape in Burnaby, we want to preserve it. The Lakeview 2 will feature unique landscape design which was articulated by our design and landscaping team. This is feature modern theme but also emphasizing easy maintenance! Why is landscaping so important? Landscapes and features are important because they contribute significantly to our well-being and quality of life. They provide the broader context within which we live our lives. Living within aesthetically pleasing and culturally meaningful landscapes enhances our sense of wellbeing. This natural setting is awe-inspiring, and the Japanese people value the raw beauty of nature that surrounds them. It’s this appreciation, in part, that accounts for their innovation of the Zen garden.
Tiling
Our tile setting and designing team have been working hard this week. It is no easy task, and the elements of the tile must go well with the surrounding set. An exciting part of this modern duplex will include tiles from Italy and Spain. Our team is very articulate and this week has been very busy! How is this duplex unique from any other? Not only are the tiles from a long time trusted and highly acclaimed manufacturer, the design team has incorporated most modern, and chic elements including choosing the way the tiles are set, grout, and overall placement of tiles to create a modern spa-like feel.
Painting
Interior and Exterior Paint work has begun with sample work being conducted to ensure the base color is set to match the interior theme of the bathrooms and overall design. We are excited to feature some very interesting and unique elements that will be available only during showings. Exciting surprises to come. Our design team has been working with both Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams to construct the right elements of white and grey for the exterior and an inviting yet warm white tone for the interiors. Color (or hue) is at the heart of every painting. It is arguably the most important element because it sets the tone for how viewers feel about the work. It can, for instance, be warm and inviting or cold and stark. Either way, color can set the mood for a piece.There are some tips here at Bima Properties we stick buy as builders in Burnaby and Vancouver:
Regardless of whether you hire a professional or take on the work yourself, you’ll want this project done right so you don’t have to repeat it in a few years. With this in mind, here are 10 exterior house painting rules you should never break:
- Don’t skimp on materials.
- Do the necessary preparation.
- Beware of lead paint.
- Apply more than one coat of paint.
- Use the right tools.
- Be realistic.
- Wait for temperate weather.
- Cover everything else.
- Paint using proven techniques.
- If you hire a pro, get bids and references.
Finishing Carpentry
Since things have been coming together on schedule and with a great landscaping team at Reliable Landscaping Ltd., we have begin the stage of Finish Carpentry. This stage is absolutely crucial in getting the right theme across but also to actually make the home look complete with all edging and casings creating a type of picturframe in every room; otherwise the home will look unfinished and raw. Finish carpentry can be composed of three actions: measuring, cutting and attaching. The list of installations includes doors, trim, moldings, cabinets, stair bannisters, shelving and everything needed to finish the interior of a home. Every #bimabuilt home is constructed very carefully and we hire the top finishing companies that we have been working together for years to ensure the confidence as it is vital in the overall appearance of the home from the interior. Our finishing carpenters feel that Parallel is more important than level or square
Some rules of carpentry change from framing to finish work. Instead of keeping track of plumb, level and square, you now must keep finish materials parallel to the walls and floors. The eye sees diverging lines more readily than it sees plumb and level.
The only exceptions are cabinets and doors, which must hang plumb to work properly. If the floor isn’t level, trim the door bottoms parallel to the floor rather than leave them level with a tapered gap.
If a deck is out of square, run the decking parallel to the house wall rather than squaring it up to the deck framing. If for some reason two lines must diverge, separate them as widely as possible so that the difference is harder to see.
