Building a New Home - Starting Construction


After 23 years in our home, we decided it no longer was meeting our current needs. By chance I found a neighborhood that was right for us. We found a lot we liked, picked one of the builders floor plans that met our needs and signed a contract to purchase. Then we headed to the design center to select all the finishes from flooring to lighting.

It's important to check the progress of the build frequently because mistakes do happen and it's best to catch them early in the game.

First they scrapped the lot,; removing all the scrub brush and trees in the way of the foundation.
Then they built a frame for the foundation.

The lot slops down to the back so it was necessary to build up the back and fill it with bags of sand. The next photo shows the filled frame and the plumbing pipes that were added.

 It was exciting seeing the foundation poured. You can see the garage in the front.

And then the framing began!



When you stop in a model home, remember the friendly salesperson represents the builder and not you. Be sure you have a REALTOR to represent you. I want to be your REALTOR. Call me if you are buying or selling or thinking of buying in a development community.

This home is in The Reserve at Brushy Creek in Cedar Park. There are some newly completed homes for sale as well as the option to build with the builder. As an Accredited Buyer's Representative, I have the expertise to help you buy one of these houses. Call me at 512.589.7988.
