If you are considering moving to the Charlotte, NC area, or you already live there and looking for a new home, you will need to locate some home builders. Charlotte, NC is home to many home builders but it is recommended, before you work with one, that you take some time to know what to expect throughout the process. Many times people are surprised by how quickly a home can be built when working with home builders in Charlotte, NC and here is the process that is commonly used:
Clearing the Lot and Setting the Foundation
Once you have a lot to build on, the lot will need to be cleared and surveyed. This will help to ensure that the home is placed properly. The builder may also need to build up or remove dirt in order to ensure they have a flat areas in which to build. Once that is done, the concrete foundation will be poured.
Building the Frame
Once the foundation has been laid and dried, the frame of the home will be built. This is the point where you will see the shape of your home taking place. You should expect to be asked where you want things like electrical outlets and switches during this phase of building.
Plumbing, Insulation and More
When the frame is up, it is time to start building even more. The plumbing of the home will be placed, as well as the electrical wiring. You will also notice that the HVAC system will be installed into the home and insulation will be placed. Drywall will be put over that insulation.
Interior and Exterior Decorating
Finally, the look of your home will really start to come together. You will find that cabinets are installed, as are shelves and countertops. Floors will be laid inside. On the outside of your home things like siding and painting will be done as well as the final stages of the roof. Interior painting or wallpapering will also be done and generally the final step is the laying of any chosen carpeting.
Final Walkthrough
The last step will be a final walkthrough to test everything and make sure that everything is installed and laid out as planned. If everything is good, you will be able to move in.
