You will meet with our New Home Design Specialist to make exterior and interior color and material selections for the home. Our construction team will request all required building permits. The lot is cleared.

Plotting, Plumbing, and Pouring. The foundation formwork is laid out as per the plot map and plans, and then it is surveyed. Rough plumbing is installed and inspected by the city inspectors. The form is trenched, and all the structural components are installed. The foundation is inspected by the city inspectors, and then the concrete is poured!

Your house and your dreams begin to take shape! The lumber is delivered, and our carpenters frame all walls, ceiling joists, and rafters. The roof decking is installed and covered. The windows, exterior doors, exterior trim, siding, and fireplaces (community-specific) are delivered and installed.

Passing of the keys! Home Buyer Orientation will take place where you, the buyer, will walk the home with the Project Manager and learn the ins and outs of the home, as well as create a punch list of items. You can also have an independent inspection at this time. Now is the time to contact the electric, gas, water, cable/internet company, and other utilities. The day prior is the Home Buyer Final Confirmation Walk Through, where you, the buyer, will confirm all items noted at the orientation are complete and the home is 100%! Finally! After months of planning, you will own your new home.
