Construction Overview

During the first month, we excavate your home and pour the footings and foundation walls. Afterward, we allow the foundation to properly cure while obtaining the required foundation inspections and completing the backfill process.

This is when you really start to see your home take shape! Our carpenters frame the structure, and we install windows and doors. Simultaneously, we begin the plumbing, heating, and electrical rough-ins.

In the third month, we finish the plumbing, heating, and electrical rough-ins and install the roof shingles. The fireplace is installed, and we pour the garage and basement slabs. At this point, we conduct inspections of the plumbing, electrical work, and rough framing. Your Field Superintendent will walk you through your new home so you can inspect the mechanicals before we begin installing drywall.

Next, we insulate the walls and have them inspected. The furnace is typically installed during this phase, though it may be installed later in warmer months. We then drywall, finish, texture, and paint the walls.

As we move into the fifth month, the focus shifts to interior details. We install ceramic tile, vinyl flooring, and trim work such as doors, stairs, molding, and baseboards. Cabinets are installed, countertops are ordered, and the fireplace mantel is set.

Your home is almost ready! In the final month, we finish painting and staining, install countertops, light fixtures, mirrors, shower doors, bath accessories, and complete the flooring installation.

Sitework and exterior painting are completed, and we schedule final home inspections. Your Field Superintendent will conduct a home orientation which consists of showing you all the systems in the home. After a thorough cleaning, we’ll conduct a walkthrough and document any punch list items. The finishing touches are completed and then it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for—moving day!
