Understanding what you want from your home—and from your homebuilder—helps shape every part of the building experience. This commitment drives continuous improvement in quality, expertise, and homeowner satisfaction.

With You From Start to Finish

From the first meeting through the months following your move-in, you are guided through each stage of the process. Knowing what happens at every step helps you understand what to expect as your home takes shape.

Before Construction Begins

Construction typically begins 30–45 days after you sign an Agreement to Build. This timeframe may change because of factors such as:

Local government approvals
Utility availability
Construction backlogs
Delays in the developer's delivery of lots
Availability of materials and contractors
Changes requested by the homebuyer
The complexity and timing of requested changes
Independent inspection schedules
Weather, particularly rain or other poor conditions

Weather is generally the most frequent cause of construction delays.

Your sales professional can provide an estimated construction start date and the average construction time for your community.

Step 1 - Designer Consultations

Step 2 - Pre-Drywall Walk

Prior to drywall installation, you will receive a guided tour of your home, allowing you to view its quality components, inspect the inner workings, verify optional features, and ask questions. During this walkthrough, the electrical plan will also be reviewed, including the placement of switches, outlets, and lighting. This is your opportunity to discuss any additional electrical needs or requested changes before drywall is installed.

Step 3 - Quality Check

Step 4 - Preparing You for Move-In

Once your home is complete, your Project Manager and Salesperson will provide a room-by-room tour to review the quality features and operating procedures of your new home and explain our service procedures. During this orientation, you will have the opportunity to identify any items that may have been missed during our quality control inspection and create a final punch list for completion.

From Groundwork to Move-In

Building a new home involves a series of carefully coordinated stages. Each phase moves your home closer to completion, from preparing the site to completing the final details.

1. Home Site Preparation

Before construction begins, the property is prepared and the home’s location is established.

Required permits and approvals are secured from the local building authority.
The home’s placement on the property is determined.
Home positioning and orientation are based on terrain, drainage, utility easements, municipal setback requirements, and side-yard requirements.
Due to technical requirements, the homebuilder retains sole discretion over home placement.
The final home position is surveyed and marked.
Obstructions are cleared, and the soil is prepared for construction.
Existing trees may be removed when necessary based on state and local laws and sound building practices. The builder does not accept responsibility for the life of existing trees.

2. Foundation

The foundation is one of the most important stages of construction. Careful planning and inspections help ensure proper footing depth and correct installation of reinforcing steel before concrete is placed.

Footers are dug or formed to the required depth.
Reinforcing rods are installed according to the wall construction.
Foundation construction varies based on whether the home has a basement, crawl space, or slab.
In most situations, basements use concrete construction, while crawl spaces and slabs use block construction.
Lot grade is established.

3. Framing

Once the foundation is complete, the home is ready for framing, which normally takes one to two weeks.

Each floor plan is individually engineered to meet structural code requirements for its geographic location.
Wood studs, beams, floor joists or floor trusses, and rafters form the home's structural framework.
Exterior and interior walls and the roof are erected.
Exterior OSB sheathing and house wrap are installed.
Windows and exterior doors are installed.
Eaves, fascia, and overhangs are built.
Framing is inspected according to local requirements.

4. Exterior Finishing

5. Mechanical Rough-In & Insulation

Much of the work during this stage takes place inside the walls, making it less visible while serving an important role in the home's operation.

Electrical, alarm, RG6 cable, telephone, and plumbing lines are installed.
HVAC equipment and ductwork are installed.
Fire caulk and foam insulation are added to exterior voids, including corners, first-floor plates, doors, windows, and wall-plate penetrations common to the attic.
After mechanical systems are installed and inspected, insulation is placed in the exterior walls.
Mechanical systems are inspected according to local requirements.
