Building a new home is a big milestone, and knowing what to expect makes the process smoother and more enjoyable. At Hour Homes & Brookstone Homes, we follow a structured building timeline designed to keep your project moving efficiently while maintaining quality at every stage.

While every home is unique, the outline below gives you a clear picture of how the process typically works.

Initial Consultation & Planning

We begin with a conversation about your goals, preferred location, budget range, and timeline. This is where we help you explore floor plans, communities, or building on your own lot.

​

What happens during this phase:

  • Review of homesites or owned land

  • Floor plan discussion

  • Budget planning and next steps

Design Selections & Pricing

Once your plan is chosen, you’ll personalize your home by selecting layouts, finishes, and optional upgrades. You’ll receive detailed pricing so you understand what’s included before construction begins.

​

This phase includes:

  • Floor plan customization (if applicable)

  • Interior and exterior design selections

  • Final pricing review and approvals

Permits & Site Preparation

Before construction starts, we secure the required permits and prepare the site. This phase may vary depending on location, utilities, and weather conditions.

​

Key tasks include:

  • Permit approvals

  • Utility coordination

  • Site clearing and foundation preparation

​

Construction milestones typically include:

  • Foundation and framing

  • Roofing, windows, and exterior finishes

  • Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC

  • Interior finishes and trim

Walkthroughs
& Final Details

As your home nears completion, we schedule walkthroughs to review details and address final items. This ensures everything meets expectations before closing.

During this phase:

  • Final inspections

  • Punch list completion

  • Preparation for closing

Closing & Move-In

Once all approvals are complete, you’ll receive the keys to your new home. We’ll review warranty information and answer any final questions before you move in.

Build times can vary based on plan complexity, weather, permitting, and site conditions. During your consultation, we’ll provide a realistic timeline based on your specific home and location.
