New Construction Timeline – What to Expect From Dirt to Door

🧱 Step-by-Step Construction Phases

From groundbreaking to move-in, understanding the steps of construction helps you anticipate next moves and avoid delays.


🌦️ Weather & Supply Chain Delays

Weather, permitting, and supply chains can all affect timelines. An informed buyer stays prepared and flexible.


🔒 When to Lock Your Rate

Knowing when to lock your mortgage rate is essential—especially if build times span multiple months.


🏃 Spec Homes vs. Pre-Builds

Spec homes or quick move-ins are great for buyers on tight timelines. Pre-construction buys offer customization but take longer.
