Edmond Home Builders | Our Construction Process
We are here to guide you and help you so you know what to expect when you work with Edmond Home Builders. We want you to be informed and educated about the process so that you can make the best decisions for your family needs. If you ever have any questions or don’t understand any steps, will be there to help you through it all. You should also make a special note to file for homestead exemption on your property taxes. This can be done as soon as you receive your recorded deed back from the mortgage company at the courthouse.
Edmond Home Builders 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 approval. This is also where we will get all city or county permits. The banks will require building plans and specifications for property appraisal prior to closing of our construction loan. Due to the nature of government bureaucracy, it is not unusual for these processes to take 3 to 4 weeks. Also, at this time we will order windows, doors, and brick.
We, Edmond Home Builders, recommends that within three days after the execution of your purchase agreement, you should schedule an appointment with our design consultant to finalize selections for your new home. A timely selection process allows us to repair the necessary purchase orders to start the building process as fast as possible. Once all selections have made, we will schedule plan review with your construction manager to review all the details. During the plan review, we will go over the full-size blueprints, specifications, and finishes with you as well a site plan and home placement. When this meeting is completed, it’s time to schedule excavation and get started.
This is where we start to build your home. First we lay the foundation, and don’t worry, a city inspector will be there to approve every step. We work with electricians and plumbers to make sure that everything is up to standard and searching all the hardware wiring for your home. And don’t worry, another city inspection is done again and again. Once the foundation is poured, carpenters will begin the family process. This is where the walls, headers, beams, fortresses, and raptors are engineered to ensure proper structural properties. This is where you actually get to see your house. That’s is all the mechanical matters. All mechanical trades will have their rough and work inspected and then a frame inspection is done to make sure no boards have been cut or move that could cause structural weakness. Upon all approvals, insulation is installed. This is also where exterior masonry comes in. And then, we work on finishing up your home with all of your specifications in mind.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions, comment, or concerns. We look forward to creating your custom dream home. You can call us anytime at 918-688-5660 or 405-896-0333, or check out our online website shawhomes.com.

But we’ve also done this a few thousand times. You are out there on your own trying to figure it all out. And if you are unsure what the processes, will be right there to walk you through it. In fact, we can probably tell you what questions you’re going to have before you even have them.
Mechanical matters here at Edmond Home Builders is a huge step. After the roof is on, the plumbers will come in to talk about the home. This is where they will run additional water and drain lines as well as vent pipes and gas lines. All lines are pressurized to protect against possible leaks later on. The furnaces are set in the ductwork went to the house. The electricians will rough in the wiring for the breaker boxes, switches, receptacles, and lights. Heavy gauge wires will run from the cooking equipment and air-conditioners. This is also where we will install your cable TV and telephone outlets. In all mechanical trades will have their rough and work inspected and then frame inspection is done to make sure no boards have been cut or moved.
Now that the guts of your home is done, Edmond Home Builders will start the drywall, trim, and painting phase. Sheet rock drywall is installed on all ceilings and walls and then taped, bedded, and scans. While textures applied where indicated. Hardwood floors are installed. Some carpenters arrived to install the cabinets, doors, molding, and mental. Closets are laid out and installed to maximize the storage capacity. And the painters take over. Exterior landscaping, sod insulation, guttering, and the pouring of the concrete driveways, sidewalks, and porches may also begin. We will also install kitchen and bathroom countertops and marble bathtubs and showers. The plumbers will install fixtures and faucets. Electricians will install light pictures, switches, receptacles, and applications. And basically, your home is now a real house.
After the carpets are installed, detailed cleaning takes place to ensure that your home is in optimal moving conditions. Window screens are installed in final inspection takes place. Your pre-closing water also takes place at this time. Your new home has been constructed with hundreds of products found in nature and others that are man-made. Many of these products have moisture inherently in them. These characteristics and the changes in seasons cause expansion and contraction in many materials. Therefore, you should expect to see minor cracking and drywall in maître d’ surfaces. This is perfectly normal and unavoidable as a ton of weight now sits where once was empty ground, and the surface problems are easily corrected with readily available contraction compound and sealants.
