Building a Custom Home in San Antonio, Texas
If you’re considering building a custom home in Alamo Estates, or anywhere in the San Antonio area, let’s take a quick look at exact steps to building your home.
- Selecting your home building team – this not only includes the builder, architect and construction team, but also your real estate agent. You will want a competent team of knowledgeable professionals that can help guide and advise you through this process.
- Planning and design – This is the fun (and a little bit stressful) part! Your architect and design team will help you create the home of your dreams, and budget for all of the features and customizations.
- Obtaining permits and site preparation – Building plans will be submitted for necessary approvals. This can sometimes be the slowest moving part of the process when you are anxious to see progress, but it’s unavoidable.
- Foundation and framing – The foundation preparation and framing are so exciting to see! Besides being a critical part of the build process, it’s also a physical indication that your dream home is underway.
- Enclosing the structure – Windows, doors, roofing & masonry work – all of these items will start to make the exterior of your home take shape.
- Interior work – Builder will install plumbing, electrical & HVAC components. Then insulation will be installed for temperature & sound regulation. Walls, flooring & ceilings will be completed to advance the progress on the interior of your home.
- Finishing touches – Cabinetry, countertops & other built in features will be added. The paint/trim and fixture installation is where you really start to get excited!
- Landscaping and irrigation – Of course you’ll want the curb appeal! This is usally one of the last steps, but can add a huge impact to the exterior appearance of your soon-to-be-home.
- Final inspections – When the construction process is complete, and before closing, you will want to hire a third party inspector to ensure compliance with building codes and regulations. They will also check HVAC, plumbing, electrical outlets & much more to test that they are functioning properly.
- Closing and move-in – Your patience during the custom home building process has paid off, and now it’s time to close and get the keys to your brand new home!
