Cahoon's
Construction Process
Pre-Construction and Contract
Signing
Your home plan is
reviewed by Cahoon Construction,
initially for plan and site
design. Once approved, we then sign
a contract for building. After the
contract is signed, our purchasing team then buys
the materials to build your home.
Stage 1
Your home site is cleared and
prepped for pouring the foundation.
Forms are set and plumbing rough is
completed. Inspection by city
officials, engineer, and Grand Homes
Quality Control Team.
Stage 2
Foundation is now poured.
Framework is completed.
Stage 3
Rafters are installed to complete
the frame.
Stage 4
Install
windows and exterior doors, roofing
and weather proof house wrapping.
Now your home is safe from out door
elements. Then we do decking, cornice,
siding are
installed. Mechanical roughs are
completed including plumbing
“top-out” and HVAC rough.
Vents
and skylights if applicable.
Stage 5
Additional mechanical roughs are
installed which include electric
rough, entertainment rough and security rough. Gas lines
are installed. Now, City Inspectors
and the Cahoon Quality Control Team do framing and mechanical
inspections.
Stage 6
Brickwork begins and insulation is
installed.
Pre-sheetrock Inspection:
A pre-sheetrock inspection with you,
Cahoon Construction now occurs. The inspection
and review will cover the entire
structure, including placement of
electrical plugs and switches, cable
television outlets, telephone
outlets, color selections, and any
changes you requested to the plan.
The pre-sheetrock inspection is
critical to insure that the timely
completion of your home is not
delayed due to incorrect
installation or misinterpretation of
your changes.
After pre-sheetrock approval is
granted, sheetrock installation
begins and is followed by the
taping, bedding, and texturing of
the walls. The flatwork, which
includes driveways, sidewalks, and
patios, is installed.
Stage 7
At this stage, exterior painting is
done. Finish carpentry that includes
stair trim out, cabinets,
countertops, trim, doors, and
mantles is completed. Baths and
backsplash are tiled.
Stage 8
Wall out and trim prep inspection is
completed. Interior walls and trim
are painted. Vanities are now
installed. HVAC and plumbing trim
out is done.
Stage 9
Electrical, entertainment and security trim out is
completed. Wallpaper is now
installed as well as mirrors and
shower doors. Back yard fence is
installed and final survey is taken.
Stage 10
The floors are laid and fireplaces
are tiled. Trim hardware and locks
are installed. Landscaping and
irrigation are completed. Any
touch-up work to the paint is done
and there is a pre-carpet
inspection. Once approval is given,
the carpet is installed. Final clean
of the interior and exterior is done
and appliances are checked for any
defects.
Stage
11
Gas and electric meters are
installed. A final building
inspection is completed and home is
now ready for your homeowner
orientation and walk through with
your builder. At this point, any
item that you believe needs our
attention can be listed on your
Homeowner Orientation Form. This is
an important step because minor
cosmetic repairs are not covered by
the warranty after closing.
Completed Home
Once we have met all your
requirements, you, the homeowner,
will enjoy your first walkthrough of
your completed home. After the tour
is done and you have no more
question or concerns, a Cahoon
Construction Quality feedback form
is completed and the contract is
fullfilled.
