Understanding the Custom Home Building Process (Completion)

When the custom home building process enters the completion phase, it’s time for your home to finally be built! But how does that take place?

Now that you have a better understanding of how the concept part of the custom home building process works, it’s time to delve into the completion portion. Once you’ve finalized the design of your home and acquired all necessary permits, the fun part begins—actually building your dream home! This is a very exciting time for anyone building a custom home, but there is a lot that goes into the construction process, and everyone undertaking a project this big needs to be prepared for what to expect as construction gets underway.

Construction

Once permits are secured, the construction phase begins. This is where your dream home starts to take shape. The construction process typically follows these steps:

Throughout construction, regular site visits and meetings with your builder are important to ensure that everything is progressing according to plan. This is also the time to address any issues that may arise and make adjustments as needed.

Final Inspections and Walkthrough

As construction nears completion, your builder will conduct a series of final inspections to ensure that everything meets quality standards and complies with local building codes. You’ll also have the opportunity to do a final walkthrough with your builder. During this walkthrough, you’ll inspect the home and create a punch list of any remaining tasks or touch-ups that need to be addressed.

Completion and Move-In

Once all inspections are passed and the punch list items are completed, your custom home is ready for move-in! Your builder will provide you with all the necessary documentation, including warranties, maintenance guides, and contact information for any future needs. Moving into your custom home is the culmination of months (or even years) of planning and hard work, and it’s time to enjoy the space that’s been crafted specifically for you.
