Writer's picture: Master Analytics 6Master Analytics 6



Building a new home is a rewarding yet complex endeavor. While you can make all your customized dreams come true, you must invest time and money in doing it from scratch.


Understanding the steps involved in building a home can help you make educated decisions about this important project. Let's look at the steps in building your dream house.


Pre-construction Phase

The first phase in the home building process is preparation for the construction. The steps include:


  • Purchase Agreement: The process begins when you visit one of our models and tour a community with a New Home Sales Consultant, who will guide you through the home-buying journey. We’ll help you choose the ideal home site and floor plan to suit your preferences and review all available options and upgrades. Once you’ve made your choices and reviewed all the details, you’ll sign the purchase agreement, officially beginning the exciting process of building your new home.


  • Plan Review Meeting: You’ll have a meeting with your Brandl Anderson New Home Sales Consultant to go over your blueprints and verify that all the options specified in your purchase agreement are correctly recorded on the plans. This is also the time to make final choices regarding electrical features, flooring, and cabinetry.


  • Selection Meeting: You’ll have the chance to collaborate closely with our Interior Designer, who will assist you in selecting the perfect colors and finishes for both the exterior and interior of your home, ensuring that every detail aligns with your vision and preferences.


Once these steps are finished, you are ready to move on to the construction phase.


Construction Phase

During construction, you must work closely with the contractor to ensure the results align with the initial plans. The steps are:


  • Pre-Dig Meeting: At this meeting, you'll connect with your New Homes Sales Consultant and Project Manager to delve into the building process, examine the lot survey, and review the final blueprints for your home. This will also be an opportunity to address any questions or concerns you may have, ensuring you’re fully informed and confident about the next steps.


  • Pre-Drywall Meeting: During this meeting, you'll have the chance to tour your framed home with your Project Manager before drywall is installed. Together, you’ll inspect the framing, roofing, and mechanical rough-ins, and confirm the locations of your electrical and low-voltage components.


The more meticulous your approach to construction, the more likely you will enjoy your home in the future.


Post-construction Phase

The post-construction phase is no less important than the actual construction process. The steps include:


  • Quality Walkthrough: Our Warranty Team will perform an in-depth orientation and quality check of your home, guiding you through every detail.


  • Final Home Acceptance: On the day before or the morning of your closing, you will have a short meeting with the Project Manager to ensure that all the items identified during your Quality walk-through have been addressed and completed.


  • Closing On Your Home: Get ready for an exciting moment at the title company, where you'll sign the final paperwork and officially get the keys to your brand-new home!


Finally, add interior decor and furnishings to complete your dream home.
