Lifting a House in the Flood Zone

Coastal flooding is increasing and is only going to become more frequent. How are the coastal cities going to transform as a result of climate change and rising waters? This episode is the story of the lifting of a massive historic house in Charleston SC, as told by Buz Morris of Morris Construction.

About our guest:

As Morris Construction's principle and a licensed builder and architect, Robert "Buz" Morris has been building homes since 1992. Buz approaches his profession with a passion for superior construction, aesthetic appeal, flow, and quality. Buz knows from experience the value of having a committed architect manage the full scope of a construction project.

Prior to returning to Charleston Buz worked in New York with the esteemed architecture firm of Gwathmey Siegel. Training directly under Charles Gwathmey, Buz had the opportunity to work on some of the most prominent buildings in New York, including the 256,000 sq. ft. New York Public Library.

Featured in the periodical Carolina Compass, Buz is referred to as "moving at a New York pace with a Southern attitude…he shows a determination to be closely attached to what is traditional and honest and life giving."
