Initial Consultation
The first stage of a custom home construction project involves meeting with the homeowner and the construction team to discuss the project's overall scope, goals, and budget.
Design Phase
Once the project goals are defined, the design team will work to create a plan for the custom home that meets the homeowner's vision, functional needs, and local zoning requirements. This includes architectural drawings, site plans, and other necessary documentation.
Permits and Approvals
Before construction can begin, the design plans need to be approved by the local building department and any other relevant agencies. This can involve obtaining permits, variances, and other regulatory approvals.
Site Preparation
Before construction can begin, the site needs to be cleared, graded, and prepared for building. This includes any necessary excavation work, as well as installing utilities such as electricity, water, and sewer.
Foundation
The foundation is the base on which the entire home is built. This stage involves pouring the concrete slab or digging and pouring the foundation walls and footings.
Framing
Once the foundation is in place, the framing stage begins. This involves erecting the structural skeleton of the home, including the walls, floors, and roof.
Rough Plumbing, Electrical, and HVAC
After the framing is complete, the rough-in stage begins. This involves installing the home's plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems before the walls are closed up.
Insulation and Drywall
Once the rough-in work is complete, the insulation is installed, followed by drywall installation and finishing.
Interior Finishes
The interior finishes include all the elements that make the house look and feel like a home, including flooring, cabinets, countertops, paint, and trim.
Final Inspection
Once construction is complete, a final inspection is conducted to ensure that the home meets all building codes and safety requirements.
