A step-by-step look at the new-home process—from homesite and permitting through construction, inspections, walkthrough, and move-in.

New construction begins with the homesite, plan, contract, financing, and permits. Once approvals are in place, work moves through foundation, framing, mechanical systems, insulation, drywall, finishes, inspections, and final completion.

Weather, utility coordination, selections, and jurisdictional review can affect the schedule. Clear decisions and timely selections help the process keep moving.

The final stages include quality checks, orientation, walkthrough, correction of remaining items, and settlement.
