Construction Begins!
Excavation, Foundation, & Utilities
Here is where it gets real! Under the supervision of our construction manager, the team breaks ground, digs out space for the foundation, pours concrete, and installs utilities like water, gas, and electric.
Mechanical, Electrical, & Plumbing Rough-Ins
This is you start to see where your electrical outlets and lighting will be located, plumbing lines, and heating and air vent.
Framing
The “bones” of your house are assembled using lumber. You start to see the roofline, front entry, and where each room will be.
Sheet Rock, Tape, & Texture
The walls go up, and you start to truly see the layout and size of the rooms. You also start picturing yourself living there… just a bit longer!
Insulation
This is the step that keeps your home toasty in the winter, cool in the summer, and energy-efficient and quiet all year long.
Pre-Drywall Meeting (Meet with Builder)
Meet with your Thompson Homes team to see behind the walls of your new home.
Painting
Now your home comes to life with color! All the walls and trim are painted in the color scheme you selected.
