Construction Stages » DW Homes

Stage 1

Pre-Construction Meeting

You'll come in and meet with your designated construction team who you will be in contact with throughout the course of your build. In this meeting we will cover things such as key project milestones, site safety, site visits, and what to expect over the coming weeks and months as your new home takes shape.

Stage 2

Foundations and Floor Structure - 2 Weeks

The foundation of your home is laid by our experts. From the floor up you will start to see your new home take shape right in front of your eyes.

Stage 3

Wall Framing & Roof Framing - 4 Weeks

The pre-nail wall framing will now begin construction, and it's at this stage where you can start to visualise the spaces where you will relax, entertain, and enjoy in your beautiful new home.

Following this we'll be adding the roof framing and working to wrap and enclose all framing, to protect your investment from the elements

Stage 4

Roof and fascia - 2 Weeks

Wall framing is now completed, and our experienced building team can now move on to additional external features. The building wrap will be applied and the fascia and guttering fixed in place. While this work is underway, over the next two weeks you will see the roof framing being installed and your home taking on its final shape.

Over this time the team will complete the roofing, soffits and fascia.

Stage 5

Doors and Windows - 2 Weeks

At this stage, the team are installing your exterior doors and windows. Now your home is beginning to take on a character of its own and you can start to enjoy the high quality inclusions and installations.

Stage 6

Exterior Linings - 2 Weeks

Over the next few weeks, our experienced team will be working hard to ensure your building is safe, dry and aesthetically pleasing for you and your family. We've established by this stage a tight-knit cladding system, made of material that is affixed to the exterior of your home and plays a vital role in keeping you snug during the colder weather, as well as making sure your home is damage-free - creating a secure environment for you and your family in the years to come.

Stage 7

Exterior Decorating - 2-3 Weeks

Your beautiful new home is halfway there!
At this stage your Site Manager will take you for a scheduled site visit where you'll be able to see your earlier colour and design consultation taking shape. Over the coming two weeks, our team of contractors will begin focussing on installing pre-plumb, pre-wire and insulation - taking another step in turning an unfinished building into your brand new home.

Stage 8

Pre-Plumb / Wire & Insulation - 2 Weeks

At this point in time, our hardy construction team have worked on setting a solid pre-plumb, pre-wire foundation. This ensures you will soon be able to access water and power. We have also been hard at work insulating your property - ensuring your home will keep you snug in the colder months and cool in Summer. Insultation provides resistance to heat flow, and it also lowers your heating and cooling costs - making a perfect, affordable environment for you and your family.
