Our Construction Process

Our construction process is designed to ensure that every step of the way, our customers are informed and involved. Our process includes the following phases:

• Sales Agreement: You select your home plan, home site, and any structural changes. You then sign a sales agreement and secure a mortgage.
• Home Owner Selections: You meet with our sales staff to select the options that will make your home unique. Material orders are made, and Klein Homes develops a construction schedule.
• Permits: Klein Homes works with appointed officials to obtain all the necessary permits required to build your new home.
• Foundation: Your homesite is surveyed, staked, and excavated. We then run the plumbing lines from the street to your foundation. The foundation is poured and once cured, backfilled with soil.
• Framing: Your exterior and interior walls are framed, then your roof trusses are installed. If you are having a basement put into your home, you will see the floor joists and subflooring installed first.
• Exterior Finishes: When the framing is complete, wall sheathing is added to enclose your home and house wrap or felt paper is then attached over exterior walls to prevent water penetration. Roof sheathing is added over trusses, attic vents are installed, and roofing materials are added. Windows and exterior doors are installed, and facade materials such as brick or vinyl are added to exterior walls. Finally, the exterior trim and paint are applied.
• Mechanical: HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems are installed. Systems are "roughed in, " leaving exposed ends of pipes, wiring, and ductwork to be finished later. Bathtubs and shower units and other large items are installed. Framing and rough mechanicals are inspected.
• Insulation and Air Sealing: Insulation is added between the studs in all exterior walls and between the joists forming the attic. Gaps between framing members and around windows are then sealed to eliminate potential air leaks.
• Interior Finishes: Wall and ceiling drywall is installed and finished. Interior doors, trim, and shelving are installed, and paint is applied. All other materials, including cabinets, countertops, mirrors, and flooring are installed. HVAC, plumbing, and electrical are finished, including registers, faucets, light fixtures, and appliances.
• Landscaping: Your yard is graded to slope away from your foundation, then driveways, walkways, and poured concrete porches are added.
• Quality Inspections: While landscaping is being completed, Klein Homes continuously performs quality inspections on your new home. A punch list is prepared, including any items that need attention, and all repairs are made prior to your New Home Demonstration Meeting.
• Closing: Prior to closing, Klein Homes will host a New Home Demonstration Meeting with your family. Here, your project manager will explain the mechanicals and demonstrate the operations of appliances. You may ask questions about the operation of your new Klein Home, as well as make note of any items needing attention. Within days of this meeting, you will sign closing papers, officially transferring ownership of your Klein Home into your name.
