Research
This is
your beginning. Find several home plans you like, determine your living
needs, explore financing, and find a buildable lot or learn about the one
you already own.
Pre-Construction
At this
point, you will bring in your experienced Builder. Sterling Homes, as
your Builder will assist you to solidify a plan, make any modifications
with a local architect, create a budget, determine your specifications,
and sign contracts. During this process, you will secure the
purchase of land, if you havent already done so. Congratulations!
Next, we bring your plan through the local governing body, apply for
permits, and make appropriate deposits to start site work.
Site Work &
Foundation -
Once plans
are approved, permits obtained, and deposits paid, we clear and grade
the land, dig and create a foundation, tie into utilities, and backfill
and re-grade around the foundation.
Framing
An exciting
time as you first see the floors and walls take shape. We will
walk you through your home and discuss electrical, plumbing and heating
layouts.
Rough In
During the
next several weeks, several trades will install various systems within
your home. Such items include wiring for lighting and computer
networks, exhaust fans, heating and venting, plumbing lines, fireplaces,
and back framing for items yet to be installed.
Exterior Finishes
At the same
time we are working with interior finishes, the exterior of your home is
receiving siding, shutters, trim, paint, and masonry.
Interior Finishes
Once rough-in is complete and all systems are placed properly, it is time to finish
the walls, install the doors and millwork, hang the cabinets, and
install all hard surfaces. Again, a thrilling time in the building
process as you start to see all of your design choices come together.
Landscaping
Landscaping is the last to come and can be completed
through our trusted contractors or a landscaper of your choice. At this time, we will be
perfecting
the interior and exterior of your home and readying it for completion.
Completion
-
During the
completion stage, we will go through your new home with you, explain the
systems and review your warranty program. Each new home Sterling
Homes builds comes with a 2-10 Warranty. |
