Construction & Inspection

Step 4: Construction & Inspection

Your selected contractor will help guide your building process and schedule. For the most part, your home will get built from the ground up: starting with grading, groundwork, and foundation work, on to framing and wrapping up with walls, details and landscaping. While your contractor is leading you through the building process, they will also be helping coordinate a series of milestone-based inspections. These ensure each step of your new home meets code standards and keeps the progress moving.
