Planning
The first step is to select your blueprints - bring your own or choose
from ours. On our Floor Plans page we have over 400 plans for you to choose
from along with an architect ready to make any modifications you need.
We will meet to review the blueprints and define materials to be utilized.
Then we will send your plans out for bids and put together a budget.
Financing
Next, we submit your package to a mortgage company for approval. Our mortgage
company has several programs to make building a home affordable and convenient.
Many loans do not require a payment until the home is complete and some
offer a convenient one-time closing option.
Your
Foundation
Your home site is cleared and prepared for pouring the foundation. Concrete
forms are set and the rough plumbing is completed. Rough electrical (islands)
and gas lines are set. The county and city will inspect. Next, your foundation
is poured.
Framing
Your lumber is dropped on the premises and the framing
begins. This is a very exciting time as you can now see your home take
shape. Decking, cornice, and windows are installed. Mechanical roughs
are completed including plumbing "top-out" and HVAC rough.
Exterior
(Masonry and Roofing)
Your roofing
materials are installed. We can install metal roofs or traditional shingles.
Additional mechanical roughs are installed which include electric rough
and security rough. Gas lines are installed. The county will inspect.
Brick and stonework begins. Brickwork includes soldiers, water tables
and other decorative brick accents. We can also incorporate wrought iron
or cedar into the exterior elevation. The flatwork, which includes driveways,
sidewalks, and patios, is poured.
Meanwhile, we walk with you through the entire home to review the placement of electrical plugs and switches, speaker locations, cable television and telephone outlets, color selections, and any changes you requested to the plan. If your flooring is stained concrete, we cover the slab at this point. Sheetrock is installed and textured. We offer several options of texture including splatter drag and hand trowel. We uncover the floor, and the concrete staining process is performed. Floors must then be recovered.
