Having Your Dream Home Built by Iron Kross Construction & Remodeling

Generally, having a custom home built is a process without much variation. Usually, it goes something like this:

1. You determine your budget.
2. You find Iron Kross Construction & Remodeling.
3. You meet with us to discuss your needs and preferences.
4. You pick your lot.
5. Together, we finalize your custom home design.
6. You get financing, if necessary.
7. We sign all the necessary contracts.
8. We begin construction.
9. Together, we conduct the final walk-through.
10. You move in.

But if you’re like most people, you’re most interested in the construction process. Here’s what it usually looks like:

1. Site preparation
2. Foundation
3. Framing
4. Plumbing, electrical and HVAC
5. Insulation and drywall
6. Interior finishes
7. Exterior finishes
8. Final inspection

Here’s a closer look at each.

Site Preparation

Site preparation is the first step in new home construction. In order to properly prepare your home site, professionals need to clear the land, level the ground and install any necessary utilities, such as water, sewer and electricity. The ultimate goal of site preparation is to create a stable and level foundation for the home.

Foundation

The foundation is one of the most important parts of any home, because it provides a flat, level surface on which the home will be built. Usually, the foundation is made from concrete and includes footings, walls and a slab. The foundation must be built strong enough to support the home’s weight and to withstand difficult weather and environmental conditions.

Framing

A home’s frame is like its skeleton. When construction professionals frame a home, they construct the walls, roof and floors using wood or metal. This provides the home’s basic structure and allows for the installation of plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems.

Plumbing, Electrical and HVAC

After the frame is complete, professionals can come install the plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems. They’ll run pipes, wiring and ductwork throughout the home.

Insulation and Drywall

After the plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems are in place, experts can install insulation which keeps the homes temperature stable and well regulated. As you probably already know, insulation helps keep homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. There are many types of insulation available, which you will most likely choose during your initial consultation with our experts.

After the insulation is in place, we can install drywall to create the walls and ceilings of the home.

Interior Finishes

The interior finishes you choose during the design phase come into play after the home has been drywalled. Interior finishes include flooring, cabinetry, countertops and trim. These stylish and functional finishes can be completely customized to suit your preferences and needs. If you tell us what you’re looking for during the design phase, we’ll make it happen during the construction phase.

Exterior Finishes

Exterior finishes are the last touches. This includes siding, landscaping and finalizing the roofing materials. These exterior finishes help protect the home from weather and environmental conditions and create a perfectly polished look.

Final Inspection

After we’ve finished construction, we’ll conduct a final inspection. During our final inspection, we’ll ensure that the home meets all building codes and regulations, including a review of the plumbing, electrical and HVAC systems. We’ll also double check the foundation, framing and finishes. After the home has passed inspection, we’ll do a final walk through with you so you can see everything we’ve put together and ask any questions you may have. We can show you how to operate your homes functions, such as smart thermostats, or walk you through maintenance on things like water heaters. During your walkthrough, you have the opportunity to explore every inch of your new custom home. Then, you get to move in.
