CONSTRUCTION PROCESS
The building of your new home is a complex process and Villagio Homes Construction partners with
top level professionals to construct the highest quality homes. Villagio Homes employees work
extremely hard to oversee the subcontractor’s work and put all the finishing touches together that turn the
structure into a dream home. Here is a brief run down of the process:
STEP 1: FOUNDATION
Permit is obtained from determined city. The site is staked out and the foundation is dug. The footings and foundation are poured. The plumbers will complete under floor plumbing and the foundation is waterproofed. The foundation is backfilled and the basement and garage floors are poured. As with ever step of your home, a Villagio Homes Construction employee and a city inspector will thoroughly inspect your home to ensure quality construction.
STEP 2: FRAME
Once the foundation and floors are complete the framers are ready to build the skeletal system of your new home. They will start from the bottom, placing floor joists, then stand the walls and attach the trusses which are part of the roofing system. They will sheet the roof. The windows and doors will be installed and your home will be wrapped in Tyvek. All mechanical rough-ins will be completed. Again, inspections by both Villagio Homes Construction and the city inspectors are required before this process complete.
STEP 3: INTERIOR FINISH
Once your new home has passed the inspections in the framing stage, it is time to finish the interior. This includes insulating and going through the drywall process, which includes hanging the drywall, taping and sanding the seams and corners and texturing your ceiling. The walls are then ready to be primed. After priming, the hard surfaces such as hardwood and ceramic are installed. Next is the carpentry trim which includes installing cabinets and countertops. The final coat of paint goes on the walls, followed by carpet and closet shelving installation. The new house has final touchups and a thorough cleaning. A Villagio Homes Construction employee spends 1-2 weeks in your new home at the end of the new construction process to perfect all the finishing details.
STEP 4: EXTERIOR FINISH
At the same time that the interior of your new home is undergoing a transformation from frame to finish, the exterior of your new home is being finished too. This process includes felting and shingling the roof, application of all vinyl siding and masonry work, final grading of your new home site, and installation of landscaping and fencing.

STEP ONE
DESIGN & LOCATION
At Villagio Homes we believe that the time we spend together up front designing your new home, is just as valuable as the time spent building the structure. We listen to your needs and desires. We ask questions about your lifestyle and how you plan to live in your home. This allows us to work with you to design a floor plan that is both functional and efficient; avoiding unused or wasted space. Our goal is not to build the biggest houses, but new homes that reflect the clients lifestyle. We will have home plans drawn based on your desires and input.
STEP TWO
WRITING THE CONTRACT
While we finalize your floor plan we will also learn about the interior fits and finishes you are looking for. This will help us establish allowances that will fit your budget and meet your needs when shopping for flooring, lighting, shelving, etc. Once the home plan is finalized and your lot is selected, the sales contract and specification sheets will be drawn up. A Villagio Homes Representative will review your home plan with you along with all final specifications. At the time you sign the contract, we will collect an Earnest Money Deposit check.
