During construction we can make several trips to the site.  The frequency is based on the specific project but the following list outlines some of the common stages to visit the site during construction.

Pre-construction meeting
Review drawings and answer any questions by the builder. We’ll take a look at the surveyor’s stakes and make sure they match the drawings.

Foundation Complete
Observe foundation installation, including waterproofing, footing drain, and foundation & slab insulation.

Rough Framing Complete
Check framing for compliance with the drawings.  Ensure that window placement is aligned with views as intended.

Insulation Installed
Observe insulation installation.  Insure that all voids are filled, including behind electrical and mechanical.

Drywall Complete
Check on the drywall installation.

Finishes
Observe finish installations.

Punch List
A review of the job to create the final Punch List for the builder.
