Sterling Custom Home Pours Foundation on New Spec Home

Austin, TX, January 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Sterling Custom Homes is pleased to announce that they recently poured the slab foundation at 212 Black Wolf Run in Flintrock Falls. This is their new “quick-delivery” home that overlooks the fifth fairway of the Jack Nicklaus designed golf course. The luxury Austin home includes four bedrooms (two on the main level), four and one-half baths and a spacious layout with an oversized owner’s suite, game room / media room combination and many more outstanding features.

The foundation stage is critical to the final quality of a home; therefore, prior to pouring the foundation, many preparatory measures must be taken. A structural engineer must create the slab design, calculate the load, analyze the elasticity of soil and determine slab drops, drainage, etc. Sterling Custom Homes uses hand-tied steel reinforced slabs on all of their Austin custom homes, which results in a more stable foundation. A concrete pump then delivers the concrete and serves to eradicate separation of sand, rock and cement, control water content, and reduce the time of the pour.

Soon, the form boards will be stripped and the lumber will be dropped on site. The framing will begin and the Flintrock Falls golf front home will start to take shape. Sterling Custom Homes makes it easy to follow along with the construction of their homes at the Homes Under Construction page on their Web site.

Flintrock Falls is nestled in the beautiful Texas Hill Country and offers residents an extensive list of resort-style amenities including: the Hills Country Club, with four golf courses, swimming pool, two clubs for entertaining and a full workout facility; the World of Tennis, with 26 outdoor courts, two indoor courts and a recreational racquet shaped swimming pool; Lake Travis, with swimming, boating, sailing, water skiing and other water sports; and more. The exceptional location is only minutes from downtown Austin, so the community provides the best of both worlds – the serenity of a resort retreat with the conveniences of city access.

Sterling Custom Homes builds quality custom homes in many of Austin's premier custom home communities, private gated communities, and resort golf communities. From Lakeway, all up and down Lake Travis, and into Westlake, Sterling is known as one of Austin's premier custom home builders, with a reputation for exceptional quality, integrity and service.
