No. 6: CONTRACTS & PERMITS
With all that planning behind you, it’s time to sign, baby, sign!

After homeowners provide their deposit and sign their contract, and it’s time for the Citadel team get to work pulling the permits necessary to build. Once the city or county has approved permits, Citadel orchestrates professional surveyors to survey the land and stake the lot.

No. 7: BREAKING GROUND
Breaking ground is a special time homeowners usually like to be present for. Plus, watching that excavator dig out where your custom home will soon be – to exact specification – is pretty mesmerizing. 

No. 8: GROUNDWORK
Depending on weather, the next three weeks or so is spent on laying the groundwork for your beautiful new home: Foundation is poured. Plumbing groundwork is put in. Waterproofing takes place. Drain tile is installed. All the while, the Citadel team manages inspections to ensure your custom home has the highest craftsmanship and quality.

Your home is actually taking shape! The garage concrete floor and basement concrete floor are poured.

No. 10: FRAMING
The groundwork has been laid for something GREAT – your new custom home! With a solid foundation, framing begins. Watching a dream home take shape is usually the homebuilders favorite part!
