What to Expect During the New Construction Timeline: From Lot to Move-In

Buying new construction is exciting, but many buyers wonder: how long will it take, and what happens along the way? Here’s a look at the typical timeline when building with A.R. Builders.

Step 1: Lot Selection & Design (1–2 months)

Choose your community, pick your floor plan, and finalize design details. This stage includes financing approval and permit applications.

Step 2: Site Preparation & Foundation (1–2 months)

Land is cleared, utilities prepared, and the foundation poured.

Step 3: Framing & Roofing (2–3 months)

Your home takes shape! Walls go up, the roof is installed, and rooms start to appear.

Step 4: Systems Installation (1–2 months)

Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems are installed. Inspections occur at each step.

Step 5: Interior Finishes (2–3 months)

Cabinets, flooring, trim, and paint transform your house into a home.

Step 6: Final Inspections & Closing (1 month)

Quality checks, walkthroughs, and final paperwork lead to move-in day.

Tip: Weather, permitting, and custom changes can affect timing, but A.R. Builders works hard to keep projects on schedule while ensuring top-quality craftsmanship.
