Construction

There are many steps and specialists involved in building a custom home. We put it all together for you managing all the complex details so you don’t need to be the expert or project manager. We handle 100% of the construction coordination, so you can enjoy the process, without the burden and stress of trying to navigate new home construction on your own.

Once we receive permits from the local building jurisdiction, we put you on the dig schedule.

There’s nothing more groundbreaking than actually breaking ground on your custom home. This is where your vision becomes reality.

All Schumacher Homes are constructed on-site. Your home gets regular building inspections by your local building jurisdiction and our Construction Managers conduct inspections throughout the process making sure it is built to our standards and specifications.​ We walk through your house together with you as construction progresses and as each phase of construction is completed.

We treat each and every home as if we’re building it for our own family.  You’ll receive regular updates from the Construction Manager who serves as the main point of contact during construction.  And you’ll be in constant two-way communication  - how you want (phone, email, text) - with every member of the team who is there for you throughout the process.

Homesite Preparation & Excavation

There are varying degrees of homesite preparation needed depending on your building site. Whether there are trees to be cleared, soil to be brought in or removed, each site has unique characteristics.

Foundation

The first significant construction activity of your home is the foundation, which provides the structural support for the entire home. Once the foundation is completed and inspected, we will backfill and/or rough grade the area around the foundation.

Framing

Once the foundation is complete, carpenters will build your home board by board. Framing provides the structure for the interior and exterior walls, floors, ceilings and roof of the home, as well as all windows and doors. This is where your new home starts to take shape and begins to come to life!

Rough In Mechanicals

All mechanicals, which include plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical, will be roughed in following the completion of the framing stage.  “Rough In” consists of supply and drain lines for plumbing, wiring for electrical outlets and switches, and ductwork.

Insulation and Drywall

Once all mechanical inspections are completed, we will insulate the exterior walls. Once the insulation is completed and inspected, the drywall will be hung. After the drywall is completed, we schedule the insulation to be blown into the attic.​ 

Finish Carpentry & Painting

Now the fun really begins! During this phase, all the choices you made during your Selections Meeting will come to life. We will install your trim and interior doors and we will also complete all other interior woodwork throughout your home, including cabinets, countertops, and vanities. Your walls and trim will be prepped and painted with your selected colors.​ 

Flooring & Finishing Touches

Your vision is almost reality--The look and feel of your custom home is nearly complete! After the painting is done, the hard surface flooring and carpet will be installed, in addition to the lighting and  plumbing fixtures. After all finishing touches are complete, we will perform a final cleaning of your new home.​

Homeowner Orientation & Walk-Through

Once your home is nearing completion, you will meet with your Construction Manager who will introduce you to your new home and discuss how to operate and care for many of the components. Because your new home is a source of pride to both you and Schumacher Homes, we want to be certain that your home meets our level of craftsmanship and standards of quality. Start packing boxes—moving day is just around the corner!
