Riverside Homes Construction Site Progress Report , Date of Site Visit: October 12, 2024

Orthophoto Insights:

The orthophoto for this visit shows significant progress, particularly in the foundation and framing stages of the project. The majority of the residential structures have framing completed, while others are still in the foundation phase. The orthophoto also reveals that site organization has been streamlined, with materials and equipment placed systematically across the work zones.

Additionally, utility pathways have been visibly outlined, indicating the installation process is underway. A clearer layout of residential roads and sidewalks can also be observed, a key indicator of the upcoming structural advancements.

Digital Surface Model (DSM) Insights:

High Elevation: 4,578 feet (northwest corner)

Low Elevation: 4,570 feet (southeast corner)

The DSM provides crucial insights into the grading and site leveling. The elevation data confirms a uniform terrain throughout most of the project, which will facilitate the next stages of construction. The height variations between the newly established building foundations and other areas like the storage yard for building materials are minimal, indicating efficient groundwork preparation.

Construction Update:

Foundation: Nearly all planned structures have visible foundations. The southern residential blocks are nearly complete, with additional grading for future structures occurring towards the east.

Framing: On the north side, framing work has accelerated, with multiple buildings showing fully installed frames. This will be a key area of progress over the next two weeks as roof installations begin.

Site Layout: In addition to the structural advancements, significant improvements have been made in terms of utility placement. Crews are actively working on wiring and plumbing routes that connect to the central facilities. This will expedite the movement to internal construction stages soon.

Accuracy Metrics:

Ground Sample Distance (GSD): 2.4 cm/px

Horizontal Accuracy (CE90): 1.5 cm

Vertical Accuracy (LE90): 2.2 cm

GPS Errors: Minimal, within acceptable ranges

The accuracy metrics from the DJI Mavic 2 Zoom confirm that the survey data is precise enough to be used for further structural development and verification of grading efforts.

Stakeholder-Specific Notes:

This progress report is particularly relevant to key stakeholders, including Cargill employees involved in the development, as well as real estate investors looking to assess progress and potential timelines for property completion. With the foundational and framing phases well underway, the project is on schedule, which will likely be of interest to both commercial and residential investors.

Next Steps:

Roof Installation: The framed structures will soon see roofing installed, expected in the next two weeks. This marks a shift towards interior work and utility installations.

Groundwork Completion: Continued grading and foundation laying will occur on the eastern portion of the site, preparing it for additional structures. Expect to see heavy machinery focused on completing groundwork by the next visit.

Utility Finalization: Plumbing and wiring installations are expected to be completed across several blocks, streamlining the move into internal construction stages.

Looking ahead, we can anticipate faster progress in the coming weeks as both roofing and interior developments take priority. Stakeholders should keep an eye on material procurement and delivery schedules as construction will advance rapidly in this phase.
