- In this video we start building the BIGGEST building we have ever built and it all starts with a good layout. When constructing such a large building, accuracy during the layout will make or break a project. The biggest building we are starting will be 96' wide and 304' long! Practically an entire football field! As important as layout is, using the right tools to get an accurate and square is also important. Below are some of those important tools

Starting a build that size with a two person crew is just utterly impressive. Most contractors wouldn’t touch one that size with a small crew like that.
Just think it's probably gonna take them a year to build
Precision is an art all unto itself...
Back in the early to mid 90's when I was siding houses for a GC, we had one (1) framer who built 1500+ sqft, plus triple garages, all by himself. The ONLY help he ever had was the crane operator to fly his steel and trusses, and the operator NEVER got off the truck.
We loved siding his houses! All his soffits were at 12 1/2" and straight as an arrow! It took us 40 hrs to side and trim out one of his houses, while all the other framers houses took at least another 20 hrs!
Had one framing crew that really sucked to side behind... they had a main floor over a walkout basement grow 3/4" mid way down the back outside wall, amongst other snafu's...
@@matthewwarfield4302 you learn little tricks and intricacies when working alone and tbh framers that are use to working by themselves having another hand just gets in their way and slows them down. I’ve seen a few framers like that.
Nah
Agree
I love the efficiencies I learn watching Kyle’s videos. Two man crew with an owner operator is what serves the customer the best. Impressive.
The golf cart is your tool belt for this project.
That’s what I use mine for.
legit. the owner should loan him one.
@@peterbelisle7768 He should work out where he gets a nice brand new one as a bonus when he's done...one of those fancy ones
I totally understand this build, I had one done last year that’s 280x120. I can’t fathom a two-guy crew but Kyle and Greg are equivalent to 10 people. There were 13 guys on the crew that did mine.
Wow almost 34000 sqft!! In my dreams.
May I give you a tip from 22 years of experience on how I square a building that size- I call in The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers! WTH man, RR Buildings keeps killing it. Love these videos
My son works for a post framer. The owner of the company watches this channel for ideas and how to's. He told me the owner has even talked to Kyle and got advice. If that's true, it must of been awesome!
Wow awesome
Kyle is the Man!! Watching for probably 4 to 5 years!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍@@RRBuildings
This is basically a football field in size. Wowsers 😮
Customers must have great confidence in these two guys.
Kyle: "Watching you walk all the way down there while I'm waiting was like... BEEP BEEEEEEP BEEP BEEP BEEEP!!! 😂😂🤣🤣 (Thank you, Michael!!)
You are going to need a golf cart and walkie-talkie radios for something that big.I can't even see Greg at the other end. Good luck with this one. 👍👍
The Leica distance measure DISTO eg. DISTO X6 with Leica DST 360 sitting on a tripod could help with either supporting the tape measure or replacing the tape measure with distance measurements and angles. The Leica products are solid.
I was just thinking the same
I grew up in central Illinois and always wondered why there seemed to be a constant stream of golf carts getting trucked south on the interstate. Never realized a big manufacturer was so close!
Dammit Kyle... If you build them any bigger you're gonna have to factor in the curvature of the earth...!
You mean the earth isn't flat?? 😉
Don't ever go to a broiler house site.... This is small, and there is only one of them...... 54 - 96 x 300 - 600 is common......
What is this curvature thing you speak of? Earth is flat & moon landing never happened
As long as the site is scraped flat, curvature is irrelevant. Gravity-based leveling tools, however, will be useless outside of the center of the site.
Did you know that the towers of long suspension bridges with tall towers have a greater distance between top - top than bottom - bottom? It can be several centimeters/inches.
Welcome to fencing lol.
For big jobs ,GPS pins save a lot of time.
A few tools needed.
Save your back and get the paint gun with a roller ,white paint doesn't overlap an utility color ....red/green/orange/blue.
You need 3 tape measures and leave at least 2 left in place until the day is over. Thought I heard you say your tape was fiberglass?
Binoculars.
Bright braided (not twisted masons string),I prefer pink.
Walkie talkies and a golf cart are helpful.
Flag your strings so some bozo doesn't rip through it lol.
I have an L fence coming up with a 4600' on one leg,and 3400' on the other this will be my challenge.
Thankfully mine has to primarily look good ,and secondary follow contour.
Very cool job for you guys!
An old school tubing water level could be a backup.
4,600’ x 3,400’ fence. That’s a lotta fence. You gotta have the right equipment for that.
My first co-op assignment in engineering school was with a survey crew. All co-ops in the field, but the crew chief was the son of a professional surveyor.
We reported to a P.E.
Surveying in the winter was tough because the ground was frozen and the pans, scrapers and ‘dozers made the transit vibrate so badly you couldn’t see clearly. We were setting up grid lines to monitor hydraulic fill quantities. We would start at first daylight until they started moving dirt, and at mid-morning break time. That’s all we could do when the big equipment was working that frozen ground.
I found out that running the transit & recording in the field book by hand (way before computer spreadsheets and satellite transits) was cold work. Running a range pole and pounding survey stakes was way warmer.
@@stevenslater2669 the modern surveyors have a big advantage with GPS.
I heavy forests it can be difficult.
I work in coastal Ga.
Sometimes you need a 21 ft pipe as a site pole,the worst was a pin 45 ft into the marsh.
Total Station. Bingo!
TY for saving me the post, there’s a point when string and lasers are not the solution, long ago it was transit work, now a Total Station does this handily.
Listening to the way you are checking and rechecking the maths makes me know that you are going to nail this. It is a huge building and I am looking forward to following this one. Time spent at preparing the groundwork is time saved correcting mistakes. 😎
Your shop project has been cool and as always the detail that you put into it was impressive. Also enjoy your paid building projects. That is a huge building that you have underway. Amazing that 2 guys are able to pull that off.
Here we go !!! I will enjoy the journey with you guys !!!!
Ребята, вы гении, я вами восхищаюсь!!! Здоровья вам, сил, благоролучия.
Wow! What an undertaking!
I would have probably paid a survey crew the small fee to find your mid points and corners. Such a big job with so many ways to get it wrong.
YES! Lookin' forward to this one!
Be sure to video the truss delivery for this 96' wide building. What is the overall design height for this monster sized building?
Building big shop with two people that just stunning impressive and I guess 50 cement trucks
Love you work boys thanks for years of enjoyment watching these builds
Not to mention that sting lines sag without any wind. 100’ is about the max I’d try to go with a string, and even then it has to be extremely tight to be accurate for height.
water level. This is the answer.
Simply amazing! You guys are killing it, I guess you needed a project this size to afford the new RR shop! Good luck guys!
Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴🏴
Looking forward to this monumental R&R build guys.
I'm excited to watch this build.
Perfect layout with the laser….you guys are worth everything!
I love the day count on the work - sometimes you miss the time it takes to accomplish this work
Nice job guys.. looking forward to it!
This build is going to be epic.
beautiful building I always see them and I congratulate Kyle-greg and whoever films it, it's a luxury to see them.saludos desde ARGENTINA
I’m excited for this series!
Kyle,
You are an amazing person and builder!!!!!!
Perfect timing!!
Great job as always with the videos, love the content, looking forward to this series.
How ever you present the content is good for me!
this build is going to be epic. I cannot wait to see it going up. It is going to be an interesting one that's for sure
You should start a series on fitness for tradesmen
Very impressive,no shortage of grey matter , doing the work 🎉
That's a huge building great job setting it up.
Amazing job guys , big building take constant steps to insure you stay square and plumb , and you guys got this 💯percent
Well, THIS IS EXCITING!
this is gonna be awesome to see!
What a monster build..Good Luck
I’m looking forward to some indoor disc golf.
This is an insane project. The logistics alone to achieve it have to be incredible. Even to begin to come up with an accurate estimate on cost of material and labor seems like it'd be impossible but at this point you probably have these pole buildings down to a science. I can't wait to see this monster completed.
Kyle has implemented processes and mastered each of them. I expect it to turn out as perfect as a 60’ x 40’. Greg is a force multiplier. Just Say’n 🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸
I believe your building footprint is large enough to warrant hiring a surveyor for speed and accuracy in determining the building location and layout. It may have made a more interesting and educational video.
Exactly
I appreciate the fact that they're doing it the old school way. If for no other reason than to demonstrate that it can be done with good accuracy.
@@dlg5485 I'm not sure a $2000 Layout Station would be considered old school.
Survey guy could be booked for 6 weeks. It's not always so easy to get them out.
@@krististanley8508 Right. lol.
It’ll be interesting to see the truss and post requirements for this monstrous building! 😮
Excellent video.Keep it up guys.
That's one hell of a Barndo! ;)
Amazing project, this one will be fun to watch.
I can’t wait for the machine that lifts the trusses 👌🏻👌🏻
Building big shop with two people that just stunning impressive
Unbelievable skill and brilliant job 😮
looking Forward to watching this one .. and a Build this size can bump your name and Rep up AWESOME for you ... Congrats on this contract
Pretty massive building! 2 guys laying out for the ground is pretty impressive, I would say! Lots of walking back and forth and pretty time consuming!
It should make you feel good the for the guy you already built a storage building for is calling you back to do one that is almost twice the size!
I think breaking it down into 1/4s is a great way to help keep your line and square over that much distance!
You gotta get a power wind tape for those long distances. I got one for work. Every crank is even to like three or four cranks to a normal tape.
Looks like it’s going to be a great video series 😎
Thanks a lot. Keep make next clip🎉🎉🎉 Exiting
Can't wait :D
This build is obviously going to be a LOT of work for you and Greg, but it's going to be that much more fun for us viewers to watch and learn!
Bring in the MAGNI!!
This is crazy! Good luck and keep on doing great work bro! Greetings from Serbia!
Good stuff!
Oh My goodness! Greg is the super star here. (Back in the day)~ A building, 400 feet by 800 feet, twenty foot squares to steel girders with Leo, a young surveyor just from Army CO Engineers, with a Transit, a plumb bob (on a string), a steel tape in tenths, 200 feet. I had the plumb bob, the elevation rule, and the end of the steel tape. Yelling "pull pull pull" then "mark mark mark" when it hits the point. Ya gotta pull that tape tight. ~ Yep two 400 foot square buildings, leveled the concrete floor with a white dot and a ball point pen on the vertical steel ~ after the footings were set. Two months with Leo. So much fun. ~ Not gonna lie, there Kyle. On Rt 95, Portsmouth NH. A warehouse for NIke shoes. Tempted today to walk through the building. Anyway you guys have my attention. Whoo wee! 〰✨‼👍‼✨〰 Steel tape, doesn't stretch (much) 〰 Best wishes! ~ Mr. Not Worthy from New Hampshire...
OOOPS Yea, The "Transit" was an optical instrument, set up "level" with care, then all about "turning the angle." No lazars back then. Just a visual scope. (Just saying) 😊
I searched for "two guys handling a 304" and apparently I'm on the wrong video platform. Great video 👏
Wow, that big and I’d have a survey crew set corners just to be safe.
I suggested the same on IG or purchase a GNSS receiver eg. Emlid Reach RS3 and/or optical level eg. Leica Geosystems 840386 NA532 to confirm those points especially with distances like that.
These guys are so good it hurts. I build rinky dink stuff and I sweat over it more than these guys are worried about this monster......can't wait to see it come together
This is going to be epic.
Fun to watch you guys layout this big building. I did layout as a surveyor for 40 years, so I get to relive my layout days by watching you guys do all the work. And you’re doing a great job!
🤩🤩🤩🤩 oh my what a long way to go this is going to be some kind of adventure🤩🤩🤩🤩🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠😁😁
Should have the magni on this job
Just WOW!
Damn that's a huge jobsite. You'll definitely get your weekly steps in one day. Stay hydrated!
This is a great to see a new series on a massive building!!! Do with measuring out the square dimenesions wouldn't a laser measuring tape be a little more accurate so you wouldn't have to worry about sag or stretch?
Love watching me some Kyle and Greg build things I do the same shit in Oregon
Total station layout would have been sweet for this
I’m no mathologist, but isn’t that about the dimensions of a football field? Impressive.
beuatiful and great new video
I also use an optical level to get my first building line , then intermediate batter boards , once that is established you are away
Its gonna take a year to build that. Plus finishing your shop at the same time.
Absolutely amazing the things you have to think about at this scale. You need to borrow one of those golf carts your customer has just to get around in this massive area!
I worry that you might want to grind those mushroom heads off those stakes. Those can shoot metal shards into someone's eye.
Good luck guys that’s a big one, nothing you boys can’t handle
29000 sqft with two guys is either crazy or crazy impressive 😅
Your building is basically a football field sized building.👍
Hey guys just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos and learn a lot. Just one question is there a reason why you don't just get your buildings surveyed. Keep up the amazing work
Nice layout! Customer will have a lot of eggs in one basket if there is ever a fire. Hopefully there is some discussion of fire prevention and or suppression in the construction.
I've seen every video that you've posted and somewhat remember that previous largest build. I'd have to watch it again to remember.
That previous was prior to CZcams actually. Maybe on IG
@@RRBuildings I went back into your CZcams video history and see a 72x128 and then another large build that looks like that build. Looks like all of the original videos are all mixed up and changed around. It doesn't show that I've seen any of them even though I've seen every one of your videos. Did you change things around?
Do it & gitrdun!! Surveyor would help pin by gps? "Hey Greg... can you get me the nail gun (at the other end)?!" This is going to be interesting - good luck you guys!! We'll be watching your progress!!
Maybe radios for each. Might help. Million thanks for entertaining me. st.Paul,Minnesota.
That is a big building. What I would’ve done was really simple. I would’ve called the Surveyer out on something that big and then halfway down the 304 foot wall.
As much as I appreciate your desire to challenge yourself and not only learn but prove to yourself that you are capable, one man with a GPS Total Station could have laid that out before lunch, and you still could have made an interesting video about the process.
When you use a steel tape you need to calculate the temperature whether hot or cold because your readings will change.
Would have been interesting to see how many steps you walked during this layout!
16,900
@@RRBuildings HA! Thanks for that!!
as soon as that tape ran out I was like WOOHOO! This is going to be Epic hahaha
