One-week construction time-lapse with closeups: Week 45 of the Ⓢ-series
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
- Week 45 in the ongoing Ⓢ series, which follows the construction of a new 13-story senior living building in San Francisco. This is a #construction #timelapse with various closeups and "sub-time-lapses" at various speeds, condensing the week of December 7 - 12, 2020, into about 53 minutes.
This episode is dominated primarily by curtain wall activity. In fact, it contains three types of curtain wall -- the upper glass, the pre-cast panels, and the lower glass. Although the lower glass is only seen in passing on the walkabout on Saturday. Of course, there are various other construction activities scattered throughout. Some extra-long (7+ hours) sub-time-lapses this time. Also, more interesting clouds.
There are also three drives, approaching the site from three different directions. Kind of odd to have drives in a construction time-lapse, but what the heck.
There's a walk-around on Saturday, including a bit of trivia about something that may be a bit unexpected to be seen in this sort of area. This comes about because the building is on the edge of a San Francisco neighborhood called "Cathedral Hill", because of the tendency in the past to build churches up on and around this hill.
Hope you enjoy the episode!

It's Sunday morning in Germany and I'm looking forward to the latest episode. thank you and have fun everyone. 001
You just could not resist at 17.00? The minute I saw them with a big white sheet I was saying "Any minute Now" and sure enough I was not disappointed
lol, another shot that was just crying out for it, couldn't resist
Loved the drive bys and walk arounds! This building may get finished before the roadway does!
A big thank you for showing images of around the building, that clears up a lot of questions.
Thanks for another fine episode. Lots of good construction action, then a walkabout where we got to see great shots of the progress (or lack of it on the townhouse section) in areas we don't normally get to see. Also nice to see some street views of the City.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for the field trips
Awesome Job I never realized how much it was on a slope enjoyed the road trips too thank you
"Our" crane, is the better looking. Obviously. :)
Obviously!
I was going to ask you for a walk around and you came through again !! Great job crack on !!
A really great episode this time. Interesting to see the area around the building. I liked it again and I'm still there ;-)
Thanks for another week! I like to see the progress.
Chill; groovy; hypnotic. That's the way I'd describe the music set this week. I liked it alot.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Another therapy session . Crack on until it is done. My cooking mantra
Great show as always!!! 😍 Sorry I skipped forward but was getting tired of the next episode not being suggested to me on my home page or at the end of your episodes......🤔😃
Nice and great building 🤗🤗🤗
Hi it’s Stacie! First of all I am impressed by all the work being done! Not to mention that my favorite song is in this video! Thank you so much for the upload!😁
Which one is your favorite?
@@HospitalConstruction Smooth Talk is definitely my favorite song on this channel!
@@staciedziedzic8706 That is a good one
Great . Well done .
Hermosa e impresionante construcción
4:30am in Moscow, watching now )
Amazing
On the two floors having the glass walls fitted, I see that the props are still in supporting the floors above as the slabs cure. Using reflections on the window panes, it would be interesting to see if when the props come out, that the windows bow with the now unpropped floor loads from above. #nerdystuff
Andrew, where do you see the shoring still in? I can't find it.
@@constructionwatcher5381 at 29:15 the lower floor of the shot is having windows installed, the upper floor hasn't yet.
@@andrewclarkehomeimprovement Thanks. I see that, but don't see any shoring. The only vertical items I can find on the floor where the windows are being installed and the one above are caste iron drain pipes, a couple of copper water supply lines, and the wooden pickets that keep the safety cables in place.
Very good
Aaah measuring tapes don’t always agree. Hanging some lap siding once. I’m measuring and calling down to the guy on the ground cutting it for us. All his pieces don’t fit. After a bit of chewing we decide to place tapes beside each other, hid read differently than both of us up high. Damn I just bought it yesterday after my old one broke. Took it back and all of that type and manufacture were wrong.
I think I'd be pretty annoyed if a tape measure was incorrect... the manufacturer had one job... lol
It’s been a year since I’ve been in San Francisco and I’m supposed to go back for work in April if COVID is under even a little bit of control. It’s a great city even if it’s having a lot of problems right now. I hope it recovers.
Nice city. Iwl to get there one day
Good morning from a early fresh Thailand,has covid been a problem to the site ,does,nt look like any work is slowing hope they are all safe up there
No they were saying where is the camera. Its just down there.
Tower crane wont have to much longer . Great lucking build really starting to take place
Dismantling on the 30th of January
@@craigschofield3222 That will sort of be heart breaking to see the crane go.
Super
Looks like your gonna need to move filming location, I didn’t know there was still a lot to do up the side street part of the building.....certainly done a lot in the time already...
Well I made it to the crack on song 😉
I'm waiting to see what they do with the galvanized protuberances that run between storefront windows in precast and across the third floor
They will support a fin that runs all around that glass wall section of the building. See the renderings at handelarchitects.com/project/1001-van-ness
@@constructionwatcher5381 intresting way to break up the facade the building does look nice in the renderings
Judging by the video 1:54 San Francisco is a beautiful city with different architecture
In the video 4:18, the builders mount a silver waterproofing material between the floors where the glass facade is, I wonder how the waterproofing will be done between the joints of the white panels, judging by the video 8:00, there is a large gap through which water can enter the room.
The windows are probably aluminum framed. There’s a chemical reaction between aluminum and concrete. That is a layer of protection against that.
That will be seen in a future episode.
Greetings from Greece! How many stories will have the building at 50:51?
That's the "townhouse" section. It will not be any taller. See the last rendering at handelarchitects.com/project/1001-van-ness
The fangs will have a brass surround
may i know how many inch reforsment floor
Thanks for the walk around! Really appreciated that part! When you thought they had a long way to go on the windows, only to see they left the front part last for the most part. lol Everywhere else is done!
And what are the building on the roof? I thought it was just the HVAC units that was left to go up there.
Electrical and mechanical equipment
Does anyone know who the general contractor is on this project?
👍👍👍
44:39 self-driving car? Or street-view camera
Self-driver, from "Cruise". It is pretty common to see them (from various companies) driving around SF, being tested.
What's the sutro tower?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sutro_Tower
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
why is there a mix of square and round columns?
Exposed vs inside a wall.
What are they putting on the bottom face of the slab 18:23?
same question here
They are sealing the concrete with a primer to seal up the pours. In some floors they are just leaving it like that, others they are coming along a painting, and it seems in others they are applying a stucco like material to make them look flat, seamless, and then painting them. I guess each area is being used for different purposes so they all get different treatments.
Can you please someday focus on crane operator when he is in frame.
If they are getting a dropped ceiling, why do they spend so much time sanding and painting the ceiling if it is going to be covered?
It won't all be covered. Only some areas get a drop ceiling. Other areas go all the way up.
You can see pretty clearly starting at 39:22 which areas will be open all the way to the slab above, and which will have dropped ceilings (helps to view this a full screen on a large monitor). The areas near the windows with painted ceiling will be full height. Areas behind will have dropped ceilings.
You can see the floor plans that were presented to the planning commission at commissions.sfplanning.org/cpcpackets/2019-04-01-HA-1001VN-PC%20PresvFINAL.pdf -- I have no clue how accurately this reflects what is actually being built. But if you look at the last floor plan on that file, which shows the residential floors, you can see the nice big units on the front, which seem to be the ones with full height ceilings.
@@constructionwatcher5381 Thank you
Hi 👋
any one know the rational behind the different curtain walls?
Purely aesthetic, so the building doesn't look like a dull mono-tone soviet era building.
Why there is no snow in the video and people walk in shorts. It's already December.
In San Francisco, not cold enough for snow.
It’s California
Since 1852, it is has only snowed in measurable amounts In San Francisco 10 times, the last time being in 1976.
You get a shock coming from Vermont to California :)
16:40 Rule #1: Never ever hold a white area/banner into the camera.
And the award for cheesiest special effects goes to...
Hi again. I would've keyed in the flag. It's not hard If you know what you are doing.
Question. Can you see a Google Streetview car at 44:39?
It isn't a Google Streetview car, it is one of those self-driving cars being tested, in this case from "Cruise".
@@HospitalConstruction OK thanks for the answer. I did not know that they already drive in traffic.
It is pretty common to see such cars (from various different companies) around San Francisco. They're mostly testing them, so there always seems to be someone in the driver's seat, although whether or not they are actually driving, you can't always tell. I have been around one of them a few times when they did something weird, such as suddenly stop for no apparent reason. They also seem to drive a little slower, more cautiously and timidly than the human drivers around them!
@@HospitalConstruction This is very interesting. Unfortunately, this is still not possible in road traffic in Germany. There are closed test tracks here for this. I'm curious when you will be more courageous here in Germany.
Heyy is cPmc van ness 33:24

off and on
Yet again, another building that does not look very strong! 🤦♂️
SJWs will someday destroy the Thomas Starr King monument because he is connected to Junipero Sierra (or some other insane reason).
I was really blown away that wasn't covered in graffiti or had some homeless person camping on it.
Le drapeau blanc ... C'est par rapport aux manifestants pro Trump 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡😈
You Frenchmen are very familiar with waving white flags 🤣🤣
Man oh man, those glaziers are experts at PO'ing around - get to work late, take tea and lunch then leave work early. Fit as few panels as possible and don't work on weekends.
Probably also complaining how bad the business is doing financially.
@@musicteacherbuilder I don't know whats happening here, but it would seem as if they have all the panels they need for that floor right behind them. Also, while they're waiting for anything to cure, they can progress with weatherstrip installation on another floor. There is no excuse for getting to the job site late every day, still having tea and lunch and then leaving early when you have everything you need right behind you. No construction site I have ever been on is bid based. Every single contractor gets a project time line and told what must be installed when. Even before the first ground is dug they sign and accept the projects T & C's, the project time schedule as well as the massive penalties they will face if they don't comply or fall behind.
Project and site managers walk around three times a week checking progress. If any contractor is not where he should be on the project timeline, he gets one warning. He messes up again, the owner of the business gets fined massively for every day his staff are not working or the items/work he should be contributing are not where they should be on the project timeline. There are also always contingencies and backup contractors worked into the project for exactly this reason. If staff of a particular contractor decide to go on strike or whatever else they decide not to come to work, another contractor is available immediately to take over and continue working.
@@musicteacherbuilder Let's quickly dissect this absolute garbage you have just wasted your time typing....
There is nothing uninformed about anything. Prepping and loading panels in, (as well as any other work required to be prepared for the next day's work) is done the night before, in any well run and controlled business, and normally by a team other than the installers. There is NO substitute for preparedness. You can CLEARLY see the workman PO'ing around when they eventually do get to the jobsite. Barely an hour after they've started, they stop working and then return again later, to maybe install 1 or 2 panels (which are there right behind them) then they stop again, for lunch, return later, install 2 or 3 panels and by 3pm they are gone. Does that look or sound like efficiency to you? Slow the footage down and you will see more time is spent talking and contemplating than actually doing any installation. And no, they are not being held up by other contractors in their way.
Pretty bold and absurd of you to assume "I have no clue anything (sic)" when you don't even know me or where I've worked or still work. Your perception argument is a joke.
Envy? Are you for real? There is absolutely NOTHING to envy here. I have personally seen 4 floors (over 3500 panels) of glazing be installed in a single day by qualified artisans on gigantic projects. This is a minuscule development project compared to the ones I've been involved in and that behaviour would not be tolerated - EVER! Sounds to me like you have some sort of interest vested here with those workman?
Maybe where you live, the principle of "they won the bid they get what they get" and laziness and blatant stupidity is allowed, but in other countries, that behavior gets you fined heavily, permanently unemployed as well as unemployable for any future projects - as it rightly should. If you subscribe to that ridiculous thought pattern, then it speaks volumes about how well you work. Delays cost money. BIG money. If you sign a contract, you work the way you are told to work and you keep up to the project timeline, otherwise you don't sign the contract, you walk away and get out of the way for contractors that CAN work at the prescribed pace.
You sound like a militant, loose canon, union representative with your "get what they get full stop" attitude. Would love to see how you survive a day on construction projects I've been involved in. Generally, these types are seen shouting their mouths for 2 hours at most, then never again......
@@musicteacherbuilder LMFA....a pragmatist you say? But then you say you don't gripe if completion schedules are not met? Wildly rhetoric won't you say?
I'm not in project management sweet pea. Very stupid assumption on your part there....My experience and qualifications put me on a MUCH higher authority level and pay grade than that, even though I will admit, I did start off there. I had to read your replies more than once, and TBH, I think you are typing the biggest load of BS I have ever read. You either haven't a clue what you're talking about, or you work for a ridiculously lax company that lets you get away with murder.
You cannot possibly pay contracts on what they ask if they make the bid - you then have zero control over work flow. The correct way is you lay the timeline down, the rules to be followed, and the budgeted project sub division expense.
You're not understanding what I said about payment - I know they don't get paid hourly, BUT, by them slacking, delays people that need to come behind them, and can cause the project to go over schedule if they suddenly run into a problem. When they rush to catch up then they do rubbish workmanship that has to be removed and rectified - more delays and damage to fixtures. Attitudes go south because someone dared complain about what time they start working or whatever else. All the while, whilst the developer or owner's investment is losing millions of whatever currency daily. But that's ok hey, I mean, they're only the glaziers right? You're saying you pay them and as long as they make the deadline "nothing else matters". No dear friend, it doesn't work like that, not in any 1st world construction business anyway.
What you're saying is, "I'll pay you your asking price and you can work at your own pace, as long as you complete by the end of the allocated timeline" - absolute BS! See what the architect, developer and eventual owner of the premises thinks about that attitude. And when they fall wildly behind and their snag list is 100 pages long and the developer can't hand over because they still have so much to complete?
Does not matter at all you say? Oh really? So delays due to lazy workman are fine when they start impacting other suppliers and contractors because their own work is behind?
You are quite rightly a loose canon, as you have admitted. That crew must surely belong to you seeing as you've got so hard and stiff and defensive, seemingly trying to protect them, and you just love the "full stop" anecdotes. If so, I'll be watching them with a hawk eye from now on.
They (the other crew) would never cope with working under me - the team I work with knows the difference between actually working individuals and those that put on a song and dance to pretend to work. "Envy because they are getting paid. Nothing else matters at all?" are you human or just deliberately playing stupid? We work on and commission a project with Swiss watch reliability and accuracy. Have been doing so for at least the last 40 years. Maybe your way works for you, the company you work for couldn't care less about anything and you're allowed to get away with it on small insignificant projects, but when you're a global player like the team I work with, none of what you've said so far would even dare to be spoken in any conversation.
Just as what there are heavy penalties for going over project allocated time, there are massive incentives and bonuses for completing ahead of schedule with a successful sign-off and handover. Maybe not where you work or in your country, but definitely in other countries.
If you're happy that this crew is working (according to you) efficiently, then great. Every country and construction industry will have their slow and useless players, but on the other end of the stick you will have the men, the REAL men and woman that put in more, work harder and faster than the norm or what's expected because they are masters at what they do, and they have pride, and they also know that no job site or contract is guaranteed and that if they want future projects, they need to wind their necks in and get the job done. That's why you have some countries that are known for outstanding quality and workmanship and record breaking building projects, and others that don't even get spoken about. And, in this industry - EVERYTHING else matters. Full Stop!
@@musicteacherbuilder Not "triggered" at all. Actually very relaxed and calm, but firstly, far more mature to use that kind of immature vernacular and secondly way past being affected by incompetent rhetoric. I DO know better, because I have been there and done that, and have the years of experience and the qualifications to prove it. I have co-designed and built projects you would only ever dream about being part of. Also dealt with many people of your calibre where nothings ever wrong until it is so badly wrong that its as obvious as the nose on their face.
So no, you're not "triggering" or affecting me in any way regardless of whatever badly spelt and typed comeback you may have.
"It will always have some who work hard and some who do not" - quite rightly so, and those who do not will very quickly find themselves unemployed and as a result, will suffer as they must.
"I guarantee you they are not, or they would be replaced" Now you're issuing guarantees about people you know nothing about? And a master in rhetoric aren't you? "I just don’t sit and snipe other projects" - but you'll quite happily sit (like a fly defending his pile of faeces) keep repeating that "nothing else matters" and then snipe me for my much higher work ethics, when clearly you have never worked a day on a project where work flow and performance is measured and managed like those I am familiar with. You must surely be a junior project manager or an intern then. Maybe even a sophomore.
"I find ways to avoid what I do not like on my own" - let's see how you avoid this then as it's quite obvious you don't like this or understanding that in other more competent and advanced industries, this work standard is totally unacceptable. Let's see you put your money where your mouth is.......
@@musicteacherbuilder Carus, be my guest and self justify if it gives you any sort of satisfaction or boosts your manhood. Seeing as you were still in school 5 years ago, you obviously have very little, if any, experience in the fundamentals of large scale construction. Stick to designing houses while I complete 10 million square feet shopping centers.
