Customers say: Terrific value

"Frank and his crew built a new storage unit for us. It was important that the new structure look as close as possible to the existing cabin we had adjacent to the build. We went back and forth several times with Frank on the design of the building, and he was always most helpful and patient to ensuring our needs were being met. The end result is a beautiful storage unit that is consistent with the look and feel of our property. While Frank's team is terrific, it should also be known that Frank provides consistent oversight on the project which is helpful to ensure all is moving to plan. We give Frank our highest recommendation."

"Fantastic services. Every request has been met with prompt response and quick turnaround times. The eye for detail and incredible care for quality is exactly what we ask for. I have never been dissatisfied with the services, and I’ve never had a more reliable contractor, which is saying something considering the amount of contractor’s I’ve used."

"Randy and his son Alan were consistently professional, courteous, conscientious, and meticulous.  All work was completed for the price quoted and within the estimated time frame.  To say that we are happy with their work is a huge understatement.
We asked them to build the staircase, not really having anything specific in mind.  They came up with a thoughtful design, based on how we intended to use it.  For example, knowing that we have dogs, they made it extra wide.  They also included a walkway from the bottom of the staircase to the patio, which looks amazing and makes the functionality even stronger.  The overall look is really pretty and it blends in with the style of the house perfectly.
The kitchen work was beyond our expectations.  We started with a completely unfinished room and now we have a beautiful kitchen that looks like it has always been there.  Our requests were basic, but they came up with lots of ideas on how to enhance the size and efficiency of the space, as well as aesthetics.  Our focus was functional, but their meticulous and thoughtful workmanship resulted in a beautiful space that looks like it has always been there.  Their attention to detail is incredible!
In addition to their amazing work, Randy and Alan are extremely nice and were a pleasure to have in our home for several weeks.

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Mount Juliet, TN

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.
