Once your permits are approved and financing is in place, it’s time to begin the physical build. This stage covers site preparation, foundation work, and ongoing construction oversight to ensure everything meets code and stays on schedule.
CHECKLIST
Site Prep
Clear debris, level the ground if needed, and arrange utility hook-ups (e.g., water, sewer, gas, electricity).
Plan for any crane or heavy equipment if modular components are used.
Coordinate with neighbors on noise, parking, or crane usage to minimize disruptions.
Foundation & Structural Build
Schedule and coordinate inspections at each milestone (framing, wiring, plumbing).
Keep track of material deliveries and contractor labor schedules to avoid delays.
Regular Progress Checks
Communicate with your contractor at least weekly to address issues early.
Document any changes via formal change orders, ensuring cost and timeline updates are captured.
