A Checklist for New Home Construction

When building a new home there are countless decisions to make, from choosing a floor plan to selecting the perfect light fixtures. With so much at stake, it's important to have a plan in place before you start construction. Riverbend Homes will provide a comprehensive checklist that covers every stage of the construction process. Whether you're a first-time home builder or an experienced pro, our checklist will help you stay organized and ensure that your project is a success.

Pre-Construction

Before you break ground, there are several steps you need to take. First, hire a reputable contractor who can guide you through the construction process. Make sure you have all necessary permits and approvals before beginning work. You should also secure financing and establish a budget for the project. Riverbend Homes have experienced professionals to walk you through every step of this phase.

Design & Planning

The design and planning phase is where you develop the overall concept for your home. When you work with Riverbend Homes, we will help you to create a detailed blueprint and select quality materials. Have photos and inspiration to help you through this step of the process.

Foundation & Site Preparation

The foundation and site preparation are critical components of the construction process. If this is not done properly, the entire home can come crashing down. Excavate the site and ensure that the ground is level before pouring the foundation. We use quality materials and expert contractors to ensure this step is executed properly.

Framing & Exterior

The frame and exterior are the skeletons of your home. This includes the walls, roof, and exterior features like windows and doors. Proper framing is essential for ensuring that your home is structurally sound.

Mechanical Systems Installation

The mechanical systems in your home include the HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. Make sure that licensed professionals are handling the installation and that all work is up to code. Failure to do so can result in costly repairs down the line.

Interior Construction

This includes installing the insulation, drywall, and interior doors. This is where your vision starts coming to life. Installation of custom cabinetry and interior features begins in this step. Next will be the bathrooms and kitchen. Installation of custom cabinetry and appliances will happen in this step. After these are complete, it will be time for the finishing touches. This includes flooring, paint, and custom trim to bring out your home’s personality.

Final Steps

Before moving in, a final inspection is required to ensure your home is up to code. This includes electrical, plumbing, and structural inspections. Once you receive the certificate of occupancy, you can move in! Now you can take the time to add any final touches to your home. This can include installing custom storage solutions or adding decorative details. Once your home is complete, it's time for a deep clean to ensure that everything is spotless before you move in.
