What To Expect During Your Home Construction Timeline
Knowing the phases of a project helps you plan more effectively. Here’s how a typical home construction timeline unfolds:
Pre-construction preparation – Site evaluation, design planning, budgeting, and permit applications.
Site work and foundation – Land clearing, grading, and pouring the foundation.
Framing and structure – Building walls, floors, and roofing to form the home’s skeleton.
Systems installation – Adding electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and insulation.
Interior and exterior finishes – Drywall, flooring, cabinetry, paint, and exterior details.
Final inspections and walkthrough – Ensuring safety, code compliance, and quality before move-in.
Understanding this process helps set realistic expectations for timing, costs, and decision points throughout the build.
