Around 1.5 million new homes are built in the U.S. each year, showing just how many people are taking the exciting step of building a home. At Alpha to Omega Properties, we make the process as smooth as possible with our fully managed design and construction services.
From the initial design to the final walkthrough, our team handles every detail with expert craftsmanship and efficiency. Whether you’re starting fresh or expanding an existing property, we’ll guide you through each phase. Here’s a month-by-month home construction timeline to help you know what to expect.
Month 1-3: Planning and Permits
The home building process starts with careful planning and securing the necessary approvals. During this phase, we work with you to finalize floor plans, elevations, and interior layouts. Our engineering and architectural team prepares blueprints and submits permit applications.
While waiting for permits, site preparation begins. This includes clearing the land, grading, and marking the foundation layout. Some delays can occur due to zoning requirements or permitting timelines, but our team works efficiently to minimize setbacks.
Though this stage involves a lot of paperwork and coordination, it ensures that everything is in place before construction begins.
Month 4-6: Foundation and Framing
Once permits are approved, construction accelerates. The foundation is poured, whether it’s a concrete slab, crawl space, or basement, and must cure before the next steps. This phase is essential, as the foundation provides the structural support for your home.
With the foundation set, framing begins. Walls, floors, and the roof structure are built, forming the basic shape of your home. Windows and doors are installed, enclosing the space. This is when your vision starts coming to life-room divisions become clear, and you get a true sense of scale.
Proper weatherproofing is also done at this stage to protect the structure from the elements.
Month 7-9: Interior and Systems Installation
With the exterior framework complete, we turn our focus to essential systems. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC installations are carefully placed to meet safety codes and ensure long-term efficiency. These systems are tested to confirm they function properly before the next phase.
Afterward, insulation and drywall are installed, creating enclosed rooms. The interior truly begins to take shape as cabinets, countertops, and flooring are added.
At the same time, exterior details such as siding, brickwork, and roofing finishes are completed. This phase is where design choices become visible, bringing warmth and personality to your home.
Our project managers oversee every step, ensuring quality and adherence to the construction schedule.
Month 10-12: Final Touches and Move-In
The final months focus on detail work, including painting, trim, and lighting installation. Landscaping and exterior features like walkways and driveways are also completed.
Before move-in, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything meets expectations. We make any last-minute adjustments and complete final inspections. Once approved, we hand over the keys, and you’re ready to enjoy building your dream home!
