"Matt and his company did a GREAT job on our new home! My husband and I were impressed by his attention to detail from the very beginning. During the initial meetings it was very apparent that he takes his projects very seriously and meticulously approaches every detail to ensure that the final product is the highest quality build possible. He treated all of our concerns with respect and has made sure to work within our budget throughout the entire project. Any item that was not up to his standards or ours was promptly addressed and corrected. Even after we moved in and noticed a few minor issues Matt came by to fix all of those with no hesitation. Matt built our family not just another house, but a home. We are so happy with the final product and would highly recommend Wheelhouse Construction to anyone looking to build a home. Thank you Matt!"

"The Moore brothers were great. They satisfied my Home Owners' Association with a detailed proposal within an hour of inspecting the job. They itemized and described the work, which included cleaning off the mold, replacing insulation, repairing joists, encapsulating the crawlspace, and creating a French Drain on the exterior of my unit to redirect the rain. They also set up my dehumidifier in the space with a wireless meter I can read from inside . Their price was in line and they did everything they promised in good order, good humor, and respect. Three other companies bid and were not even close... in promptness, plan, OR price. I highly recommend Jon and Danny Moore."

"They were outstanding. Jonathan is the owner. Everyone on the crew was very personal, approachable, knowledgeable, efficient, clean and respectful of our home. They took extra steps to insure that the dust wouldn't be flying around the house. There was constant communication. The service after the construction was really good. We had some minor questions about different things and Jonathan made himself available to come by and look at different things and give us his opinion on what he would do with it. He actually fixed the stuff. He ended up remodeling our entire kitchen which was a little more than we had wanted to do but the price was so good, we opted to go ahead and do it. The service after the job was done was stellar, as well. We got other estimates and their price was far above. His price was very aggressive. We have recommended him to family members and also our dentist. We plan to use him again."

FAQs for shelter or outbuilding building service projects in Piedmont, SC

A bomb shelter is an abode built to withstand disaster. Bomb shelters may refer to a space or bunker that can protect inhabitants through a hypothetical nuclear attack, apocalypse, or any other massive crisis. People usually build bomb shelters underground and stock them to live there a few days to a month at a time. Doomsday bunkers accommodate long-term living rather than just through a short crisis.

Builders construct bomb shelters with reinforced steel, box culvert, concrete, or other durable materials (but many professionals do not recommend shipping containers, as they’re not designed to live underground. If building underground, you’ll first have to excavate land before building the actual structure. You’ll have to implement air and water filtration systems, septic systems, and power supply.

It takes a lot of experience to safely and legally construct a bomb shelter, not to mention make sure it’s fit to live in for extended periods of time. It’s best to talk to a residential structural engineer near you for proper guidance.

The current standard filtration systems require filtering both air and water. For air, you’ll want an NBC filter system, which both domestic and international producers make. NBC stands for Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical, which filters out all three. If you’re only building your shelter for natural disasters, chemical attacks, and biological attacks, you may opt for the less expensive HEPA filter system. 

Water filtration requires the same level of care. You’ll likely want to have a large water storage capacity to survive short-term disasters. For long-term living, you’ll want to have a water filtration system.

Rising S bunker prices depend on the size, ranging anywhere from $20,000 to $9 million. Their least expensive model is 96 square feet while their most expensive model has a gym, swimming pool, hot tub, and bowling alley.

  • Mini: $45,500

  • Standard Bomb Shelter: $67,500–$109,500

  • Silver Leaf: $140,000–$182,500

  • Admiral: $180,000–$500,000

  • Xtreme: $450,000–$780,000

  • Xtreme Bunker Complex: $840,000–$1,830,000

  • Luxury Series: $3,800,000–$9,600,000

You almost always need a permit to build a bunker on land with any type of public utilities running through it. You’ll want to check with your local building code enforcement agency to see if this is the case for your area. 

Because you’re building a structural component that often requires electricity, water, and sewage services, you’ll need to apply for permits to attach these utilities to your new property. However, off-grid-only units in rural areas may not need all or any of the permitting you’d normally find in more urban settings.

To survive a nuclear blast, you’ll need to have your bunker at least three feet underground. However, it’s usually advisable to put it further underground. To survive a close strike, you’ll want to have the bunker at least 10 feet down and with five-foot thick reinforced concrete. However, knowing exactly how deep to build depends on the size of the blast you’re trying to avoid. Most bunkers don’t need to be more than 5 feet below the ground.
