Over the course of the next several months, there are
many stages in the build of your home starting with the Pre - Construction process.
Learn about the stages here.
PRE-CONSTRUCTION STAGES
This is the “Behind the Scenes” otherwise known as the "Hurry Up and Wait" stage.
During the pre-construction stage, there are many things that are taken care of to help the build go smoothly. A survey and plot plan are obtained. Meetings with the landscape architect if needed. Once those tasks are completed, permitting can be applied for. Once permitting is received, we can start the lot prep.
Remember to communicate with your construction team and follow their guidelines for visiting the site. This collaboration ensures a smooth construction process, enhances safety, and helps bring your dream home to life in a timely manner.
