"Builders were fast, clean and knowledgeable. Built four ramps for my recently handicapped daughter. Contractor knew proper specs for safety and completed the job more quickly than expected. Would highly recommend for any project. Was awaiting quote from another contractor that submitted a higher bid for the job, and bid arrived after ramps were completed."

"Rob, was fantastic. He was responsive, prompt and when he came it evaluate for a quote- made great recommendations based upon his experience and enhanced our original plans for a functional open office space in the kitchen. He built the cabinets in his shop, took the wood counter tops we had already purchased back to his shop- sanded/cut/ created and "L" shaped floating counter top in less than a week and installed everything in ONE DAY! Rob is very professional and took a lot of time during the install to make sure every detail was correct. I would recommend Wolfe Construction to anyone who wants experienced, professional and an honest trustworthy partner in your homes building plans. 

We were less than enthusiastic with some of my early communications with other companies for this job and their lack of responsiveness and honesty, had just about given up with Angie's List. So glad we tried one last time and worked with Rob and his company Wolfe Construction.


Keep up the great work Rob, I know you will be hearing from our family on our next project.

Respectfully,

Maggie

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Lauderhill, FL

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.
