"They always came on time everyday and the work was completed exactly as the time frame they estimated. The bathroom came out amazing, some little details did not come out as expect due to the building structure, that is understandable. Overall, everything came out exactly we have planted out and Harry always put the customer needs first. I changed the design I want in the middle of renovation, he did not give any excuses, and just go ahead and adjust the plan to my needs."

"My daughter accidentally left the bathtub running in our second floor bathroom causing excessive water damage to both the upstairs and downstairs living areas. We reached out to several local contractors and Marc from Shore Construction Group returned my call immediately.  Within a few hours of the incident Marc had his restoration and mitigation team at our home, removing the damaged drywall, floors and carpet, and setting up fans, dehumidifiers and air scrubbers to expedite the drying process. Marc's quick action minimized the damage, which essentially cost us less money. Shore Construction worked directly with our insurance company, which made the whole process less stressful. They were able to get nearly twice as much money than the insurance adjuster's original estimate which covered all of the damages.
Our experience with Marc and Shore Construction Group far exceeded our expectations.  They were always professional, on time, accommodating to our schedules, and were sure to leave our home neat and clean when they left every day. We are completely satisfied with the results of their hard work. Shore Construction Group not only put our home back together, they made it look even better than we ever expected. The photos speak for themselves. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an accountable contractor who specializes in restoration. Thanks, Shore Construction Group!

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Sea Isle City, NJ

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.
