Within minutes, walls for four homes were raised amongst a \u2018blitz\u2019 of activity.\u00a0 The sound of heavy machinery soon filled the air as teams lifted and set their trusses and bracing. One team experienced a crane malfunction, but continued lifting and setting the heavy trusses the old-fashioned way, one at a time, by hand.<\/p>\n<p>All the hustle was for a good cause. Four builders participated in <a href=\"https:\/\/habitatorlandoosceola.org\/\">Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando &amp; Osceola County\u2019s<\/a> 2019 Builders Blitz where participants donated building materials, labor and expertise to construct four new homes in just five days. The ambitious project is a continuation of the ongoing development at the Apopka neighborhood Arbor Bend, which <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/2017\/03\/orange-county-government-celebrates-new-affordable-housing-community-groundbreaking-in-apopka\/\">broke ground in 2017<\/a> and hosted the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/2018\/03\/orange-county-building-division-fast-tracks-habitat-homes-speedy-permitting\/\">2018 Builders Blitz<\/a>. Arbor Bend now has 14 completed Habitat for Humanity homes with 20 more under-construction or in the planning stages.<\/p>\n<p>Participating builders this year included <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parksquarehomes.com\/\">Park Square Homes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcl.com\/Pages\/default.aspx\">PCL Construction<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pulte.com\/\">Pulte Homes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.khov.com\/\">K. Hovnanian Homes<\/a>. In just under a week, each builder constructed a home in a friendly competition with each other while working toward the common goal of developing quality move-in-ready homes for local families in need of affordable housing. To assist the builders with accomplishing this feat, Orange County Government Division of Building Safety dedicated labor and resources to ensure that all plan reviews, permitting and inspection activity was expedited.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11947\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11947\" class=\"wp-image-11947 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Park-Square-day2-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"A partly constructed home on a barren lot.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Park-Square-day2-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Park-Square-day2-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Park-Square-day2-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Park-Square-day2-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Park-Square-day2-785x589.jpeg 785w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11947\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By the morning of day two, homes had windows and completed roofs.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In support of the Arbor Bend affordable housing community, Orange County Government has contributed approximately $1.6 million toward site acquisition and development and offers all qualified homeowners up to $20,000 in down payment assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo pull off the incredible task of constructing four homes in five days requires the partnership of generous builders, the engagement from all their subcontractors, support from Orange County Government, and months of planning and preparation,\u201d said Catherine Steck McManus, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Greater Orlando &amp; Osceola County.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11945\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11945\" class=\"wp-image-11945 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/inspectors-reviewing-plans-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"Three men are reviewing a set of construction plans.\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/inspectors-reviewing-plans-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/inspectors-reviewing-plans-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/inspectors-reviewing-plans-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/inspectors-reviewing-plans-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/inspectors-reviewing-plans-785x589.jpeg 785w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-11945\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deputy Chief Inspectors Chris Sukut and Neil Swiger review plans with a contractor during inspection.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Orange County Deputy Chief Building Inspectors Chris Sukut and Neil Swiger were on site during the project to oversee the work and complete 80 required inspections. \u00a0This enabled the inspections to take place as soon as the required work was ready to be reviewed.

By the end of the day, all homes completed inspections for framing, sheathing, roof dry-in, windows and rough-ins for mechanical, plumbing and electrical. All four houses were taking shape by the end of just one day. Park Square\u2019s home was in the lead by completing its roof final inspection, dry wall, insulation and was moving on to siding.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAY TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>During day two, at an incredible pace, progress on all the homes continued smoothly. Mechanical (HVAC) installers had completed their heat and air conditioning installations and inspections. Final roof inspections were completed on all homes, dry wall was completed in the Pulte and Park Square homes, PCL was hanging dry wall, and K. Hovnanian was not far behind.\u00a0 Siding was applied to all homes and primed for paint jobs. The four homes that were merely foundations the previous morning, were now closer to completion than other nearby homes that were being built on a normal schedule. In the afternoon, Duke Energy arrived ahead of schedule to prepare to energize the homes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DAY THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By day three, all required building and sub-trade inspections had taken place as each builder worked toward reaching their final inspection. Landscaping, such as tree planting and sod placement, was underway for several of the homes. Builders continued working at a furious pace in order to reach final inspections by Friday. Park Square was the first to call in a final inspection on day three, as the other builders were still readying their homes. K. Hovnanian had pulled into second place, completing exterior siding and painting. All homes were on track to be move-in-ready by Saturday morning. The speed, professionalism and efficiency of these builders were on full display.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11943\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11943\" class=\"wp-image-11943 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/newsroom.ocfl.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Habitat-Board-Mayor-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"A group of eleven stands side by side for a photo.
