From Blueprint to Move-In: The Timeline of Building a New Home

Building a new home is an exciting journey. It’s a process filled with anticipation as your vision transforms from an idea into a reality. At Ken Bowling Construction, we’re committed to making your dream home a seamless and enjoyable experience. Here, we’ll break down the typical timeline for building a new home—from blueprint to move-in—so you’ll know what to expect every step of the way.

1. Planning and Design (1-2 Months)

The journey begins with your vision. During this phase, you’ll collaborate with our team to:

• Define your budget.
• Select or create custom blueprints.
• Choose design elements and features that match your lifestyle.

This stage is crucial for setting the foundation of your project. Expect multiple consultations to ensure every detail is perfect before construction begins.

2. Securing Permits and Site Preparation (1-2 Months)

Once the design is finalized, we’ll handle all necessary permits and inspections. Simultaneously, we’ll prepare your chosen lot by:

• Clearing and grading the land.
• Establishing utility connections.
• Setting the stage for a solid foundation.

This step ensures compliance with local regulations and lays the groundwork for a successful build.

3. Foundation and Framing (1-2 Months)

With permits in hand, construction begins! This phase includes:

• Pouring the foundation.
• Building the framework, including walls, roof, and floors.
• Installing windows and doors.

You’ll start to see your home’s structure take shape, bringing your vision closer to reality.

4. Rough-Ins and Systems Installation (1-3 Months)

During this stage, the internal systems of your home are installed, including:

• Electrical wiring.
• Plumbing and HVAC systems.
• Insulation to improve energy efficiency.

These elements are inspected thoroughly to ensure safety and functionality.

5. Interior and Exterior Finishes (2-4 Months)

Here’s where your home comes to life! Our team focuses on:

• Installing drywall, flooring, and cabinetry.
• Painting walls and adding trim.
• Completing the exterior with siding, roofing, and landscaping.

This stage adds the finishing touches that make your house feel like home.

6. Final Inspections and Walkthrough (1 Month)

Before you move in, we conduct a series of inspections to ensure everything is up to code and built to perfection. You’ll also have the opportunity to:

• Walk through your new home with our team.
• Review every detail and address any final adjustments.

7. Move-In Day!

Congratulations! It’s time to settle into your brand-new home. Our team remains available to answer questions and provide ongoing support as you adjust to your new space.
