5. Stages of Construction (Simple version)

Let's keep it simple. I am going to break the construction of your home into 10 stages. Now remember these are the basic stages to build any home. Most if not all production homebuilders have some measuring stick that they use to ensure the home is progressing at a suitable pace. Some homebuilders might have 12 or 14 stages, but they all encompass these ten mile stones.  It is a matter of what their preferences are.

Stage One - Slab Poured

Stage Two - Frame Complete - 2"

Stage Three - Shingles and Cornice Complete

Stage Four - Inspections and Insulation

Stage Five - Drywall Complete

Stage Six - Interior Trim Complete

Stage Seven - Cabinets and Interior Paint Complete

Stage Eight - Carpet Complete

Stage Nine - Final Inspections and CM punch passed and Complete

Stage Ten - Final Punch Complete, Home ready for Move-In


Obviously each stage has several activities that take place within the stage.  Remember, this is a 'Logical, Organized Sequence of Activities'.  These stages are used for planning, construction draws and to track the progess of the construction of the home.
