Panels were placed today at our #passivehouse project in Gladwyne. Note the inward facing zip sheathing which serves as the airtight barrier, and the horizontally laid 2x3s creating the service cavity for mechanicals.

HFB is growing our team! We have some upcoming work in Bucks County as well as in Center City Philadelphia. Our projects typically involve either historic preservation of existing structures, or Passive House standard new construction, and we currently have one project at the intersection of both. We are looking for lead carpenter/superintendents with 5-10 years of experience and some familiarity with digital project management. If you are interested in learning more about our company and possibly joining our team please send an email to careers@hansonfinebuilding.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

We saw these photos from @fowissahickon and had to reshare. The Henry Avenue Bridge has always been a place of reflection for us. Designed by Modjeski and Masters, where our grandfather Hanson was a partner, this bridge sits beautifully within the landscape of Wissahickon trail.

We have been working side by side with these men since we first hired Shangri-La Construction in 2001. It's an incredibly talented, hardworking group, and we are fortunate to have them as some of our most valued business partners.

We continue to be inspired by this building’s will to survive, and it’s rich backstory, in particular it’s role in the underground railroad. The work is not finished and we look forward to continuing our collaboration with @johnmilnerarchitects and giving this building the full measure of respect that it deserves. Check out the recent @hiddencityphila article detailing other Underground Railroad stops in and around Pennsylvania at the link in bio✨

We were happy to see the former HFBHQ featured on @housetouring this week. It has about 56 years of Hanson history wrapped into it and was the home that John, Chris and their three siblings grew up in. The original Hanson Fine Building, formerly known as Oddjobs, Inc., earned it’s first stripes in this house and proudly used a 1973 Ford Pinto as the company vehicle. Lots of important memories made, milestones achieved and celebrations had in this home, thank you for featuring it @housetouring!
