Installation Complete

We finally had our pre drywall meeting and everything is going as planned. Yay!! No issues with our build but can't say the same for new neighbors that's building around us :( but thank god and knock on wood it's going good for us. The construction manager told us that the drywall will be going up next week

Building Progress Update!!!

Sorry guys it's been a while since my last post. The home build has been moving so fast and  I  wanted to give a lot of information with my posts

but there was not a lot to say about the progress so at this stage its just all about seeing how fast things get done and how long it takes from one stage to the next. So for this post, I will be playing catch up with the pictures so enjoy

Foundation

It's coming along great! Not a lot to say about this stage, we was told that the inspection of this work will take place Friday and after that they will pore the concert and start the framing next week.

Laying pipe!

Don't start with me on the title...lol I had to do it. Now let's get our heads out the gutter! Steady progress has been happening on the property, we was surprised to see all the plumbing put in and how it looks. My husband walked around and showed me were the bathrooms are the long pipe standing up will led to the upstairs bathrooms. It's nice to be able to see how everything goes I can truly say that I will know every aspect of our home

Framing

We will be checking on the progress at least once a week, or once a day if my husband has anything to do with it : ) the sales agent said that the start of the build will be slow but once it starts we will see steady progress, I'm hoping so...

Builder's Meeting

We have been anticipating this meeting for a while now, YEA! IT'S HAPPENING! We have finally broke ground and the home building process begins. We met with the builder around 2pm, he showed us the blueprints and explained the building process with us. He explained how the house will be layed out, what will be started on first and the times during the process we will meet. He went over all the options we chose to ensure all of our features was added, he also stated that when we're at the drywall stage he will be able to give us projected closing date. The Builders Appointment took about 3 hours and was very detailed. The builder Derik was very nice, he answered all of my questions and believe me I always have a lot of questions, but I could tell that he didn't mind and that the meeting was truly for us and he was there for us to answer our questions, (now that's a professional ) The Roxbury is on it's way

Starting date April 20th

We received an update for the sales agent, he said that our home is scheduled  to start slating on April 20th yea....he also told us that we will probably do the construction meeting the following week.

Grading of the Property

After all the excitement of of choosing a home builder, choosing a community, and choosing a lot...now the waiting game begins. We will be checking on the progress once a week to document the build from start to finish, the Sales Associate told us in the next couple of weeks after they apply and obtain the building permits we will have a pre-construction meeting with the builder to go over the building process, (IT'S HAPPENING!) But for now its just dirt

The Home Building Process

Almost immediately after signing the contract to build and giving our earnest money deposit we had a appointment for the Design Center. "Now we talking," we were told ahead of time that the appointment duration could be up to 4-6 hours we will first be meeting with onduty (the technology guy) to choose all the structure wiring throughout the home, placement of HDMI outlets, security systems, data/networking placements etc. After that we will be meeting with the Design Center Specialist and with her we will be choosing everything from the siding on the house, to the flooring. We had so much fun choosing all of our options, everything about our new home is chosen by us. The Design Center specialist was very helpful in helping us choose the right color palettes, it's hard to Envision the look of the home without someone helping you knowing what goes together "kitchen cabinets colors against this color of granite countertops."she definitely has an eye for design and I used every bit of her expertise to make our home look beautiful. We were there for 6 hours, no surprise! But we enjoyed ever  minute of it
