Wall Insulation (if necessary)
In cases where additional insulation is required (for example, in colder climates), insulation materials are added between the logs or inside walls to improve the home’s thermal performance.
Utility Rough-Ins (Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC)
The installation of the rough-in systems for utilities like plumbing pipes, electrical wiring, and HVAC ductwork. These systems are installed before finishing walls and ceilings to ensure all essential utilities are in place.
Floor and Ceiling Installation
Installing flooring materials and completing ceiling work. This step includes laying down hardwood, tile, or other types of flooring, and finishing ceilings to prepare them for painting or other treatments.
Interior Wall Finishing
After framing and insulation, the interior walls are covered with finishing materials, such as drywall or wood paneling. This is also the stage where interior walls are prepared for painting.
Installation of Fixtures
The fitting of various fixtures, including light fixtures, bathroom fixtures (toilets, sinks), and kitchen cabinets. This step is crucial for getting the home ready for use.
Interior Doors and Trim
Installing interior doors for bedrooms, bathrooms, and other rooms, as well as any decorative trim or moldings around windows, doors, and ceilings.
Final Cleanup
A thorough cleaning of the house, removing construction debris, dust, and any leftover materials. This step prepares the home for the final walkthrough and inspection, ensuring it's ready for occupancy.
