- We prefer to meet with you before you start the plan drawing stage. We have hundreds of sample plans to look at for design features and ideas to help you find what you like.
- From there, we need to discuss the location of the build. As a complement to the process, Halo has many lots available for you to choose from.
- It’s highly recommended that you are pre-qualified for a construction loan and know what your true budget is. We have several approved lenders to assist with the qualification.
- Once we know what you’re qualified for and have a true budget, we can help you select a plan.
- The next step would be to introduce the architect and start working on the drawings.
- Once the architect is set, you’ll then start working with our interior designer to assist you in picking out colors, textures, flooring, etc. This is a fun opportunity for you to start exploring and dreaming about your home.
- Once we have the architects drawings and the designers recommendations we can prepare a cost proposal.
- Once drawings are completed, we submit the plan to the city. With that is a “plan check” fee and a “building permit” fee. Depending on the municipality, there could be additional fees such as, water meter, sewer hook-up, etc.
- With the issued building permit, we will dig the footings for your home. Each phase of the build is required to have have approval by a building inspector.
- Next we’ll complete the rough-in of underground plumbing and electrical.
- Then the concrete slab is prepped and poured.
- With the foundation completed, we beginning the framing, followed by interior plumbing, HVAC, electrical, home automation, etc.
- After the framing is completed, the roofing materials are then stacked on the roof.
- Upon passing the framing inspection, the approval is given to insulate, install drywall, then hang doors and interior trim.
- Next steps are to paint the home, then install cabinets.
- With the cabinets installed, we can install the flooring and countertops.
- Then we add the finishing touches, door hardware, plumbing fixtures, light fixtures, mirrors, towel bars, etc.
- When the house is completed, the bank releases the final funds to us and we turn the keys over to you!
