INITIAL MEETING
The process starts with an initial design meeting.
- STRUCTURAL CHANGES
First thing we look at is any structural changes you want made to your home, which includes: garage size, closet additions, and room size.
- EXTERIOR SELECTIONS
Then we move on to the exterior selections of your home which includes: Siding color, stone color, roof color, window selection, gutters - INTERIOR SELECTIONS
After we move on to the interior selections of your home which includes:
- Kitchen design, cabinets, counter tops.
- Plumbing selections like faucets and sinks.
- Flooring selection... vinyl laminate... carpet. Bathroom selection... shower, bath, sinks, cabinets.
- Interior doors, interior hardware, trim, stairs, and fireplace.
- And finally you select what kind of electrical fixtures you would like.
FOLLOW UP MEETING
We know that this is a lot to choose from in one meeting and there is a lot to think about, so follow up meetings can be scheduled if needed.
Once all selections are made, you sign off on your selections, making your selections final. Note that you cannot change your selections after signing off.
After signing off on your selections, all construction documents get sent to the local municipality for permits to approve for home building.
Once permits are received, the home building phase can begin.
- BREAKING GROUND
First we break ground, digging to create the foundation of your home. Once the dig is complete footing and foundation is poured. Water proofing and backfill is next, and after is framing. Once framing is complete the mechanicals will be put into place.
- WALKTHROUGH 1 (ELECTRICAL)
After house is fully framed, we will walk you through your home to discuss placement of outlets, television locations, and any other electrical additions.
- INSULAITON & DRYWALL
Insulation and drywall is next. After drywall is priming then flooring.
- WALKTHROUGH 2 (TRIM)
After drywall, flooring, tile, we will walk you through your home to verify and discuss things like cabinet, molding, and window casing layouts.Cabinets and trim are installed. When trim and cabinets are installed the final paint and mechanical trim are done.
We then inspect the house for any final touch ups and once this is complete.
A team member will walk you through the entire home to go over functionality and features. In this walkthrough we can look over any other final touchups that may need to be addressed.
We can then move on to closing your home. We need to schedule at a titling company to sign final documents and then we can turn over your keys to your newly built Diamond Peak home.
