I’m going to list General Contractor first as we will discuss this topic in much greater depth in another section and we will cover then at what point in the process you will make this decision. For now we will focus on the general process. You will find as you flow through this section that my reasoning for this order is so you can establish early what is most important to you.

I see so many people pick a site or builder and then have to conform to their options rather than creating their own homebuilding schedule and then finding the elements to fit their desires. My recommendation is to always first Assess Your Needs and Wants.

In this link I will cover the general process and some loose ideas on time. It is at this point I want to encourage you to TAKE PICTURES

This is an often overlooked part of the enjoyable memories of your project and might come in handy as a progress monitoring tool. This of course leads us into the area of PROGRESS MEETINGS It’s a good idea to schedule in advance a series of short meetings for all involved to keep on track.

Even the best laid plan will from time to time develop the need for some CHANGE ORDERS . This topic falls again under the area of Construction Document but will be something you will likely experience along the process.

At the end of the construction process, you will likely go through a PUNCH LIST Before final loan closing and OCCUPANCY
