Building Construction

Imagine yourself tucked inside of a house that can withstand the elements and provide the relaxed comfort of a well built house. From the experience of many storms and infrequent earthquakes along the Pacific coast of Washington, the construction industry has gained much knowledge about construction practices that provide the best protection from these hazards. These practices reduce risk of damage to both houses and coastal land. Nevertheless, risk cannot be eliminated. Code requirements in the state of Washington have been raised continually over the past few years.

Houses at Cohasset Beach more than meet the code requirements. Particular focus is on preventing wind damage and water infiltration in a big storm. Drainage is provided throughout the developed portion of the land. Houses are careully wrapped in Tyvek or similar wrapping. Tie downs and straps give sturdiness to the vertical members. The roofing systems are built to withstand easily the fierce winds that occasionally occur on the coast.
