BLOG Understanding the Timeline: From Groundbreaking to Moving Day in New Home Builds Jun 08, 2025

Understanding the journey from groundbreaking to moving day in a new home build can feel overwhelming. At Genuine Homes LLC, we believe in demystifying this process for our clients, ensuring they can anticipate every step with confidence. Today, we'll explore the major phases of building your new home, providing clarity and insight along the way.

The adventure begins with the exciting phase of planning and permits. This foundational step involves deciding on the design and layout of your future home. Our team at Genuine Homes LLC works closely with you to capture your vision. Once your dream design is finalized, we proceed to secure the necessary permits. This step can take a few weeks, depending on the location and scope of the project. Understanding local regulations is vital, and our expertise in this area ensures a smooth start to your home-building journey.

Next comes the monumental moment of groundbreaking. This phase marks the commencement of actual construction. Site preparation is crucial here; it includes clearing the land, leveling, and laying the foundation. The foundation sets the stage for everything to follow, offering structural integrity and stability. Typically, this process may take one to two months, but rest assured, we keep you updated with regular progress reports.

As the foundation hardens and gains strength, the framing phase begins. This is where the skeleton of your house is constructed, and its shape and form start to materialize. Framing includes installing walls, floors, and roof trusses. During this period, you’ll witness your vision truly coming to life. This part of construction usually takes a few weeks, weather permitting. At Genuine Homes LLC, our focus on quality craftsmanship ensures that every beam and board is perfectly in place.

Once the framing is complete, attention shifts to mechanical and electrical installations. These essential elements include plumbing, electrical wiring, heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. This phase is critical as it lays down the networks that will provide comfort and functionality to your home. Professionals meticulously carry out these installations, adhering to industry standards to ensure safety and efficiency.

As the interior systems take shape, exterior and interior finishes start coming together. This is a visually gratifying phase, as it involves adding elements like insulation, drywall, and windows. It’s also when you see aesthetic components like paint, cabinets, and flooring being installed. During this stage, Genuine Homes LLC ensures all materials used align with your preferences and quality standards.

Finally, the home enters the phase of inspections and walkthroughs. Before you receive the keys to your new home, thorough inspections guarantee that everything is in top condition. Our team conducts detailed checks to ensure compliance with building codes and contract specifications. We also guide you through a final walkthrough, allowing you to inspect and approve the finished product.

When everything is greenlit, it’s time for the most anticipated day - moving in. Genuine Homes LLC hands over your new home, ready for you to create lasting memories. This marks the culmination of an intricate and rewarding process, transforming your dreams into a reality.

At Genuine Homes LLC, customer satisfaction is paramount. From groundbreaking to moving day, our dedication to transparency, communication, and quality construction ensures that your home-building journey is as seamless and exciting as possible. Building a home doesn't have to be daunting when you have the right partner by your side. We look forward to helping you start this incredible journey.
