  Steps in the Home-building Process
In step with you from start to finish.

At Sunlight Construction, we understand that building your own home is a complicated and sometimes confusing undertaking. That's why we will work with clients every step of the way-from the initial plan until well after occupancy-to ease clients' concerns and simplify the process.

Generally speaking, our home-building process consists of seven steps:

1. Initial consultation. Before you sign a contract with us, we discuss the many home design options open to you, the features available, and an estimated closing date that is based on the best available information we have regarding our work load, the typical weather for that time of year, and your particular needs.

2. Contract signing. We put everything in writing so you can rest assured that we will deliver what we promise. We'll help you match your needs to a final design and custom options so you will be getting the best home for your lifestyle. Then we go to work!

3. Groundbreaking, foundation pouring, and framing. During this exciting and fast-moving phase of construction an empty lot will be transformed into the structure that will be your new home.

4. Preliminary walk-through. Once the framing is completed and before the sheet rock is applied to the walls, we take you on a tour through your home to confirm final locations for electrical outlets, telephone and TV connections, lighting fixtures, plumbing, and so on.

5. Plumbing, wiring, heating systems, insulation, and sheet rock. Your new home begins to take its final form.

6. Outdoor and indoor finishes; trim, painting, and landscaping. We administer the finishing strokes.

7. New home orientation. The final step in our building process is an orientation to your new home. We walk you through the entire house to explain how the mechanical systems work, the features of your new appliances, and the products we've used in the construction. We believe that a key element to customer satisfaction, both at the closing and for many years to come, is understanding how a new home works and how to care for and maintain its many features. The orientation also gives you a chance to see the completed, clean house, and it ensures that we have delivered our high standards of quality throughout.
