Stage 1: Pre-construction. Still in the beginning stages, you will finalize design selections and pre-order all major materials, such as lumber. You will receive a tentative construction schedule to keep you involved in the process.

Stage 2: Foundation. Make sure you're happy with the layout of your house, because after this stage it's literally set in stone. The foundation stage is devoted to the construction of the foundation of your home.

Stage 3: Framing. This is the skeleton of your home. Floors, walls, stairs and the roof are constructed but your home isn't closed in just yet.

Stage 4: Exterior finishes. This stage is just what it sounds like, finishing the exterior of your house. From the outside, your house is beginning to look like a home – but inside there's more work to be done!

Stage 5: Mechanicals and Electricals. At this stage mechanical aspects such as wiring and plumbing are completed. The pipes and wires are still exposed at this stage; there are a few more stages before the interior is complete.

Stage 6: Interior finishes. This is likely to be an exciting stage for you, as it's when the house really starts to look finished. Your walls and ceilings are filled in; interior doors are installed along with shelving, cabinets, countertops, mirrors, and flooring. The plumbers and electricians return to finish their jobs, installing registers, faucets, and light fixtures and appliances.

Stage 7: Landscaping. This stage marks the beginning of the end. Your yard is formed including any driveways or walkway. To finish it all off, plantings such as trees, shrubs, and grass are added.

Stage 8: Pre-closing. While the landscaping is being finished, final inspections are being conducted. If any problems are found, they are repaired before entering the next stage. Once any repairs are made all remaining construction materials are removed, and the home is cleaned and ready for the closing.

Stage 9: Closing. Before you can own the home, you'll be walked through the house and have mechanical systems and appliances explained to you. Use this time to ask questions about how the home operates. Minor repairs, such as paint touch-ups can also be requested in this stage. A few days after the walk-through you'll sign papers and the house will be yours!
