Stages of New Home Construction – San Mateo
STAGE 1: Excavation
The construction of your new home begins with the excavation of the home site. The position of the home is staked on the lot and prepped for the foundation. The new luxury for homes in San Mateo, and turned out to be a must-have, is a basement. If you decided to include a basement, then the concrete footing is poured, and when set, a gravel fill is placed around the footing or under the basement slab for drainage.
STAGE 2: Foundation
Slab foundations are the most prevalent in San Mateo, but the differences arise if a basement is included. Forms are set and the outline of the new home begins to become visible. Underground plumbing is installed and tied into the public sewer system. After prep work is completed, the slab is poured creating the foundation for your home.
STAGE 3: Framing
During the Framing stage, the shape of the home begins to look like a home. At this point, the process is only one-third of the way and this is when progress seems to slow down. It only seems this way because we are getting into the fine details which may not be easily apparent but are important to your finished home. At this point, the subfloor, walls, and roof structure are built, and your roof is shingled. Window and door units are installed, and any backfilling around the foundation is completed.
STAGE 4: Rough Mechanics
The term “Rough mechanics” is used to describe the mechanical parts of the structure including heating, air conditioning, plumbing, and electric. This is the point where the activity is extremely high, while plumbing and indoor sewer pipes, furnace and ducts, and electric wiring, outlets, switches, and wall insulation are installed. The connection of utilities is done at this stage.
STAGE 5: Drywall
The drywall stage moves quickly as rooms are separated and divided. Drywall is hung and finished followed by the insulation of the ceilings. Outside brick, stone, and siding are installed and the site is graded for drainage and to prepare for the driveway, patios, walks, etc.
STAGE 6: Finish
We are at the most exciting stage of the process. The design selections are installed including kitchen and bath cabinetry, countertops, mirrors, medicine cabinets, interior doors and trim, stair rails, and many other detailed features. The installation of kitchen appliances and flooring, while both the interior and exterior of being painted.
STAGE 7: Finish Mechanics
“Rough mechanics”, from stage 4, is the hidden portion, but “Finish mechanics” are the part you can see. We are speaking of the installation of plumbing hardware, such as faucets, showerheads, commodes, etc. Other finish mechanics include switch plates, plug covers, light fixtures, thermostat, outdoor air/heat pump unit, and register and return air covers. Carpeting is installed and final grading of the yard is completed, seeded, or sodded.
STAGE 8: Final Stage
This stage is all the last little details such as cleaning the windows, floors, baths, kitchen, etc. Building Inspections are scheduled and completed to ensure all the finishing touches on your new home have been completed per the custom architectural plan.
During several construction stages, several required city inspections must be scheduled and passed to move forward to the next stage. We will coordinate these inspections and maintain the construction schedule as far as the things we can control.
