The Bishard Homes Building Process

What is our Building Process?

Building a client’s dream home is an exciting venture that requires meticulous planning, creative vision, and deliberate execution. From conceptualizing the architectural designs to navigating permits and regulations, each phase presents unique challenges for homeowners. Fortunately, over the past twenty-five years, Bishard Homes has toned and refined our home-building process to create the most seamless experience possible for clients.

Your Unique New Homes Specialist

Each homeowner is assigned a New Home Specialist who will act as your Point of Contact throughout the whole process. He or she will help you take the first step of selecting a home site and floor plan. Once you have decided on a lot and layout for your home, your New Home Specialist will provide you with your Purchase Agreement and answer any questions or concerns about the terms listed. He or she will also carefully guide you through our grand selection of trendy interior and exterior finishes at your design appointment, ensuring you meet deadlines.

The Construction Phase

To begin the construction phase of your home, Bishard Homes adheres to a thorough protocol to obtain the necessary permits for your property. It is important to note that while Bishard Homes strives to minimize delays during building, factors including the permit process, weather, and material availability can affect the overall schedule of your home’s construction.

Your next step as a client after your design appointment is to schedule a pre-construction meeting with your assigned New Home Construction Manager. This is your opportunity to discuss any concerns about your home site before construction begins. Next, once site preparation is completed, plumbing and electrical installation begin to make way for a successful footing inspection. A foundation will also be installed at this point, according to the weather and site characteristics.

Once the foundation is completed, your new home’s framing begins. Visits to the site will not be permitted until the framing is complete. Mechanical trades or “rough-ins” such as the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC must now be installed and pass a city inspection. As the client, you will attend a Pre-Drywall Meeting. This is the time to check out everything we have installed behind the walls of your home, particularly the gas and water lines to avoid causing damage later on.

After successful inspections, insulation will be installed, and then the drywall. Finally, the finishes you chose at the beginning selection phases, and additional lighting, plumbing, shelving, etc., will be added. At this time, your New Homes Specialist will begin providing you with information about the closing, including the scheduled closing date. (Yay!) Walkways will be poured according to the site plan, and appliances will begin getting installed in the home. To ensure quality, our team will double-check your entire property to prepare for your New Home Orientation.

New Home Orientation

Your New Home Orientation is a time for us here at Bishard Homes to show you the finished product and tell you about the basics of your new home. This meeting will occur with your Project Manager one week before closing. You will also have a final walk-through of your home, likely on the same day as closing. During this appointment, you will finalize the review and sign the homeowner acceptance form. Once you have completed the closing procedures, the building process is complete and you’re ready to move in!
