It is understood that once you make the decision to build, you look forward with great anticipation to the date you can move into your new home! It’s natural to want to see immediate and frequent progress, but it’s important for you to have realistic expectations about the building process. Be flexible and avoid making arrangements that might cause you to worry if the move-in date changes slightly over time. Before Construction In the initial stages of the project, there are several factors beyond the builder’s control: Weather: this is an obvious factor throughout construction. Design Review Committee: many communities today have covenants protected by a homeowners’ association; your house plans may need to be approved before construction can begin. Structural Changes: the home design must be finalized before applying for a building permit, and it may take several days to several weeks to update the plans when you make structural changes. Building Permit: most residential construction requires a permit, and the time needed to obtain a permit varies depending on local practices and workload. During Construction The builder creates a construction schedule based on experience and input from the trades. At several points during construction, nothing appears to be happening…don’t panic! Builders are experienced in handling many issues that affect the progress of the home: Trade Contractors, early: sometimes a trade completes its work ahead of schedule; the next trade has an assigned time that the builder cannot change on short notice. Trade Contractors, late: one late trade can force the builder to reschedule several others; this may cause your home to lose its place in line with one of the affected contractors. Building Inspection: at several points during construction, the work up to that point needs to pass required building inspections; work cannot move beyond that point until the inspection is completed. Material Delays: materials may not arrive on time or arrive incomplete or damaged. Perceived Delays: some portions of the work move quickly while other tasks require more time; work may be progressing quite well even though you don’t see much change. Site Visits Many builders schedule specific dates for you to visit the construction site of you new home; when on the site, remember
that your safety, satisfaction, and the smooth flow of work are the builder’s prime concerns: Contact the Builder: if you have a question or concern, contact the builder; do not give instructions directly to trade contractors. Degree of Urgency: with any issue, consider whether if it can wait until the next planned conversation with the builder or whether you should contact the builder immediately; try to resist pointing out items the builder will address in the normal sequence of construction. Play it Safe: if you’re in doubt about how urgent your concern is, contact the builder. Put it in Writing: reduce the possibility of miscommunication by putting your comments in writing; remember to keep a copy for your records. Safety For your safety and to avoid violations and fines, the builder may require that you be accompanied by company personnel when visiting your home site; you may also be required to wear a hard hat at various phases of construction. Whatever the builder’s policies, keep the following points in mind at all times: Always look in the direction you’re walking: beams, boards, etc may be sticking out where you would normally not expect them. Stay clear of large, noisy equipment and power tools: assume the operator does not see or hear you. Be aware of someone working above you: construction personnel working on the roof may not hear you arrive. Hands off: avoid handling or attempting to use any tools, equipment or ladders you see on the site. After Construction Here it is! After all the discussions with the builder, all the site visits, the final walk-through and closing, you have finally made it through the construction process. You have waited patiently through all the different phases of construction and you have the keys to your new home. When you started this process, you may have thought this day was a long way away. But you are now ready to move into your new home and enjoy the results of all the research, all the planning and all the discussions. Your new home – Isn’t it great? v

Home Maintenance… It’s Your Responsibility Buying a home is the biggest purchase most people make in their lifetime. And they want it to last a lifetime. In order for that home to stay in excellent condition home maintenance must be done on monthly, semi-annually and annual basis. The following suggested maintenance schedule identifies some of the more common maintenance tasks that may be performed on a monthly, on a semi-annual and on an annual basis. Tailor it to fit your own situation, adding or deleting items as required. As a homeowner, you have normal maintenance responsibilities for your new home. Establishing a maintenance schedule is the best way to manage your maintenance budget. This suggested maintenance tasks and schedule should not replace the manufacturer’s recommendations. We suggest the use of licensed contractors for any tasks you may feel unprepared to complete. Remember, safety first! What seems like a simple plumbing or electrical repair can cost you many times what you think you might save if you don’t do it correctly. The following is a suggested schedule for monthly, semi-annually and annual maintenance: MONTHLY MAINTENANCE • Smoke Detectors - Check operation by pushing test button. Check and replace battery if necessary. • Check fire extinguishers for proper charge. Never buy units without a pressure gauge. Be sure that you hove an adequate number, located in kitchen, garage and basement. Test Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI) to insure proper protection. • Clean garbage disposal blades by grinding ice cubes and citrus fruit rinds. • Clean or replace dirty filter in range hood. • Check for evidence of leaks around toilets, under sinks and around dishwasher. • Clean and freshen sink drains by flushing with hot water and baking soda. • Inspect furnace and air-conditioning filters, humidifier and electronic air cleaners. Replace as required.
SEMI-ANNUAL MAINTENANCE • Inspect roof and chimney for broken or missing tiles or shingles, identifying anything that might cause leaks or problems. Inspect and clean gutters and down spouts. Have a service professional to check your roof, chimney and gutters and down spouts. Do not walk on the roof as it is dangerous and may cause damage. • Inspect outside of home and condition of siding, paint, masonry, stucco or Exterior Insulated Finish System (EIFS) and wood trim. If necessary, have a service professional inspect it for you. • Inspect doors and windows to verify proper operation, security and weather -resistance. Clean tracks of windows and sliding glass doors before applying silicone lubricant. • Maintain wall finishes as needed. • Monitor and maintain cabinets and countertops. • Inspect the foundation, basement or crawl space. • Inspect main service panel, circuit breakers, all GFI outlets and breakers. • Complete seasonal maintenance on heating and air conditioning by licensed HVAC contractor. Check general condition of compressor; remove debris as necessary. • Inspect and replace as needed caulking and grout around tubs, showers and sinks. • Have carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year.
• Clean aerators on faucets regularly, depending upon water hardness. You may need to use a rust or scale remover to return them to normal condition, or have them replaced. Check water filters and softeners regularly. The life of the filters is dependent upon water usage and water characteristics. Retailers can help with this analysis.
ANNUAL MAINTENANCE
• Monitor and maintain floor coverings on an as required basis. Regular vacuuming will reduce wear of carpets and other floor coverings. Repair tears and remove stains as soon as possible.
• Check condition of septic tank and leech field. Consult with septic tank pumping service.
• Check the Temperature Pressure Release (TPR) valve on the water heater. Water heater should also be drained periodically. In areas with hard water, drain at least 5 gallons of water from the drain valve every six months to prevent sediment build up. Page 20 | Official Subdivision and Builders Guide©
