I'm a mason that usually does high end stone and brick work for the slightly more discriminating customer.
By word of mouth I was asked on to a crazy modern home project. There are lots of steel columns and beams in the house (and lots of crazy angles) and he wanted me to do the anchor installation. He has seen my work and knows I'm very good with layout.
Anchor bolts go in, steel gets set. The next day the steel guy calls me and says since he has been in business that was the 1st job he didn't have to burn any extra holes in the base plates. :laughing: He wants me to do the next house he has lined up. Question is, anyone using a Hilti DD 120? I'm thinking of buying one.
And as far as epoxy I'm using Ultra Bond 1 from Adhesives Technology, seems to work great, engineer has OKed it also.
I'm also going to contact some other local steel companies and let them know I'm available.
What is the usual scenario with residential anchoring? Do you steel guys do it? Or sub it out? Or does the GC take care of it?
