BIK & Huyzentruyt

Did you know that BIK was bought by Huyzentruyt?

Middle of the Year..

We are now in the middle of 2007.

This was apparently when you would have expected all the houses to be finished.

However lets look at the progress of the BIK Maison Woningen projects in Everberg.

So 3 houses that have some progress above ground in the pictures. Only house 7 has significant progress, roof completed, and most of the windows placed - and starting the plastering inside. However they have not done the outside brick pointing. I wonder on the colour?

House 4 - onto the 2nd level for the bricks - but slowed a bit as they are working on the foundations for House 3

House 8 - well this is the longest in progress, since the foundations were there so early. Now making some progress on the brick work.

House 9 Cellar

House 9 has completed the cellar..

Quite a large construction - the walls were completed within 3 days.

Shows what is possible with a professional company.

Weekly Progress.. house by house

View from the back

A view from the back of the plot, you can see house 7 almost completed until the roof, and house 2 fully completed.

Saturday in Everberg, Belgium

The street is quiet during the evening of a June Saturday.

So what is the progress this week.

House 1 Foundation done
House 2 Roof Completed, mortar in bricks Completed.. looking great
House 3 Foundation started
House 4 Bricks upto first level and first level roof in.
House 5 Not Started
House 6 Not Started
House 7 Bricks completed, and roof battens installed, no tiles yet.
House 8 Bricks started, approx 0.5 to 1 metre
House 9 Cellar started, first base concrete poured

House 9

Concrete has been poured into the base of the hole. It was poured on Friday 1st June, so the official start of the project for house 9.

The concrete will dry over the weekend and then the walls of the cellar will be created from the molds.

At the moment, this is the only house on this Everberg street in Belgium, which is having a full cellar. House 1 & 2 have a half cellar.

So far all the houses of BIK Maison are the only houses building with small foundations. The 3 houses which are not BIK, have gone for this different design.
