Glidehouse Fabrication
| The
first production Glidehouse was constructed in April 2004 at a Britco
Group plant in Agassiz, BC, Canada, which is one hours drive east
of Vancouver and three hours northeast of Seattle. Project Management
was provided by CRG (Construction
Resource Group). Below we provide a photo overview of the construction process. |
