Shell Construction / Dry-In
Option
1. Contractor will prepare the building site, which may include
clearing, grading and staking off your home.
2. The first step in construction is laying the foundation. Most
common is a slab foundation or crawl space. Our homes are suitable for
slab, pier or piling foundations, although other types may be available.
3. Arrival of your Solid Wood Home. The trucks will arrive and
our carriers will unload the home, placing it safely on the ground for
your contractor to begin.
4. Dry-in begins. Next, the contractor will begin construction on
the structure. This will involve building the sub-floor (if applicable),
raising the pre-constructed walls, building out the interior stud walls,
building porches, setting trusses, and laying sheathing and felt.
At this point,
the shell or dry-in option is complete. If this is the level of
completion contracted with the builder, it would now be turned over to
you.
Turnkey / Finish Option
1. Roofing completed. Shingles laid or metal roofing installed.
2. Rough-in mechanicals installed, which include wiring for
electricity, plumbing, and HVAC vents.
3. Paint or stain exterior, depending on the style you have
chosen.
4. Begin finish work with drywall, priming, painting and trim
work. HVAC equipment and insulation will also be installed.
5. Finally, all flooring, cabinetry, interior doors, counter
tops, fixtures and other finish details will be installed.
