"It worked out really good. They were very good and had to work with our insurance company. They did a lot of the middle work for us between us and the insurance company and helped with that a lot. Their price was fair and the quality was excellent. They were very busy and had a lot of people with storm damage. Their punctuality was excellent and they were very professional. They came when they said they were coming and did the work. I used them the year before because we had the same type of storm that did similar damage to our roof so we used them at that time."

" Brain was a joy and easy to work with and never minded our questions or whatever changes we sprung on him. No matter what it was or how small the detail, he would always check in with us just to be certain we were OK with it. We really appreciated too his feedback, good advice and great ideas. He is personable, and people with the combination of characteristics like his know how, and integrity along with a professional work ethic of excellence are few and far between. These days, he stands far above the norm and is a rare breed. We felt fortunate that it was he, a genuine Godsend, who came to our rescue.

He had three weeks to do about 6 weeks worth of work. He organized it efficiently and effectively between himself and a few other considerate and equally diligent workers. Their jobs were numerous and varied from plumbing, electrical, to cabinet making. He knew and worked with other sub-contractors who were reasonable and skilled. Out of respect for Brian, others made an effort to help him and us get the job done! Brian is extremely competent, knowledgeable and multi-talented. We recommend him highly, knowing whoever hires him, for whatever the job, won't be disappointed."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Greensburg, IN

A bomb shelter is an abode built to withstand disaster. Bomb shelters may refer to a space or bunker that can protect inhabitants through a hypothetical nuclear attack, apocalypse, or any other massive crisis. People usually build bomb shelters underground and stock them to live there a few days to a month at a time. Doomsday bunkers accommodate long-term living rather than just through a short crisis.

Builders construct bomb shelters with reinforced steel, box culvert, concrete, or other durable materials (but many professionals do not recommend shipping containers, as they’re not designed to live underground. If building underground, you’ll first have to excavate land before building the actual structure. You’ll have to implement air and water filtration systems, septic systems, and power supply.

It takes a lot of experience to safely and legally construct a bomb shelter, not to mention make sure it’s fit to live in for extended periods of time. It’s best to talk to a residential structural engineer near you for proper guidance.

The current standard filtration systems require filtering both air and water. For air, you’ll want an NBC filter system, which both domestic and international producers make. NBC stands for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical, which filters out all three. If you’re only building your shelter for natural disasters, chemical attacks, and biological attacks, you may opt for the less expensive HEPA filter system. 

Water filtration requires the same level of care. You’ll likely want to have a large water storage capacity to survive short-term disasters. For long-term living, you’ll want to have a water filtration system.

Rising S bunker prices depend on the size, ranging anywhere from $20,000 to $9 million. Their least expensive model is 96 square feet while their most expensive model has a gym, swimming pool, hot tub, and bowling alley.

  • Mini: $45,500

  • Standard Bomb Shelter: $67,500–$109,500

  • Silver Leaf: $140,000–$182,500

  • Admiral: $180,000–$500,000

  • Xtreme: $450,000–$780,000

  • Xtreme Bunker Complex: $840,000–$1,830,000

  • Luxury Series: $3,800,000–$9,600,000

You almost always need a permit to build a bunker on land with any type of public utilities running through it. You’ll want to check with your local building code enforcement agency to see if this is the case for your area. 

Because you’re building a structural component that often requires electricity, water, and sewage services, you’ll need to apply for permits to attach these utilities to your new property. However, off-grid-only units in rural areas may not need all or any of the permitting you’d normally find in more urban settings.

To survive a nuclear blast, you’ll need to have your bunker at least three feet underground. However, it’s usually advisable to put it further underground. To survive a close strike, you’ll want to have the bunker at least 10 feet down and with five-foot thick reinforced concrete. However, knowing exactly how deep to build depends on the size of the blast you’re trying to avoid. Most bunkers don’t need to be more than 5 feet below the ground.
