Let us at Edmond New Homes jump right into it with you at step one, preliminary matters. After the purchase agreement is signed, before we begin to move the dirt, many things are beginning to happen. We will create a plot plan of your lot showing the location of your home on the property. The building plans will be submitted to the developer or architect committee for their people. Other plants will be submitted to the appropriate city or county permit office with our application for building permit. The banks will require building plans and specifications for property appraisal prior to closing of our construction loan. Also, this is a time we will order windows, doors, and brick. Due to the nature of government bureaucracy, it is not unusual for these processes to take 3 to 4 weeks.
Step two is one of our favorite here at Edmond New Homes, design studio. Within 30 days after the execution of your purchase agreement, you should schedule an appointment with our design consultation to finalize the selection for your new home. This appointment should take place within two weeks from the signing of the purchase agreement. A timely selection process allows us to prepare the necessary purchase orders to start the building process as fast as possible. Once all selections have been made, we will schedule a plan review with your construction manager to review all the details.
The foundation is step three. This stage begins with the creation of a level pad site. Pad elevation is very critical in ensuring proper water drainage away from the structure. Next, the house lines are staked out and the lot in accordance with the plot plan, and then the footing is Doug. Still bars are installed through the footing. A city inspector will then approve the footing prior to pouring concrete. Once the footing is poured, what forms will be erected around the perimeter of the structure. These forms determine building size and finish floor elevation, another critical step in ensuring proper drainage.
