Once you and
your builder have chosen the floor plan you want, and made the necessary changes,
the engineers at All American Homes use a Computer Aided Design (CAD) system to
prepare the specific plans of your home. Plans are carefully checked by our
experts, to make sure the specifications match your order before going to the
factory for construction. Prior to the start of any construction, you will be
asked to sit down with your builder in both a preliminary and a final plan
approval process, and review the plans to be certain everything is as you've
specified. And, once in the
factory, our craftsmen use state-of-the-art machinery and construction tools to
ensure that your home is built to last a lifetime. Each step of the
construction process is carefully inspected to meet or exceed state and local
building codes.
After the
wood frame is constructed, professional electricians and plumbers begin their
work; after the electricians and plumbers are done, the house has energy
efficient insulation and windows installed. When the drywall experts and
painters finish their work, and all of the fine Merillat
cabinets have been securely installed, the house is wrapped in plastic and
tarps. Your home is now ready to be transported to the job site. Your home is taken from the staging area
and loaded onto the delivery trucks for transportation to your building site.
Once your home arrives on site, cranes will then set the house on your basement
or crawlspace foundation. After the roof trusses are raised and secured in
position, the remaining components are quickly finished. The house is then made
weather tight before the day is over.
The final
completion of the outside of the home and the process of interior finish will
begin shortly after the home is set. The factory-trained crews finish the
inside, add finishing trim, and install several interior doors. Once plumbing
and electrical utilities hookups have been completed, and carpeting has been
installed, your home is ready for a lifetime of memories and comfortable
living.
Prior to occupancy, a walk-through will take place between
the homeowners and the builder to determine whether there are any areas of the
home requiring attention, and the information obtained is sent to All American
Homes. If service is needed after the home is built, your builder will be there
to work with you to make sure any problems receive attention, and skilled
contractors are available to resolve the problem, with no additional charges to
you.
