Your builder will arrange onsite progress meetings regularly to check progress and provide feedback, this helps ensure your new home is shaping up just as you envisioned.
10. Quality Checks and Inspections
Throughout the build, inspections and quality checks keep things on track. Your builder and the developer will ensure the home meets high standards and follows the approved
design. Once the build is complete, the developer will conduct a final exterior inspection before signing oI the project, giving you confidence that your home is safe and ready.
