Pre-Construction Meeting

It’s finally time to break ground on your new home! After we’ve been through the entire pre-construction phase, the design and layout have been finalized, and your lot has been chosen, the next step is actually building your home. When we get to this step, we will have one more meeting to ensure that all the small details have been addressed and all the important decisions up to this point have been made. We are strong believers in the “measure twice, cut once” philosophy and through our experience, this meeting is always an exciting one.

We will also introduce you to the Mt Sterling team that will be involved in the construction of your new home. That way you’ll see familiar faces when you visit the home site during construction and will feel comfortable with the professionals working on your home. We will review our milestone schedule with the entire team and ensure that everybody is on the same page before we start hammering.

Once the work has began on your home, the project manager will hold weekly job site meetings to ensure that everything is on schedule and running smoothly. At this point, it’s time to say “let’s get to work!”
