The Home Building Process: What to Expect Step by Step

Building a new home is an exciting endeavor, but it may also be intimidating if you are not familiar with the process. At Aamico Homes, we make the process simple and clear, providing high-quality craftsmanship and a seamless building experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide to explaining what to expect when you create your ideal house with us.

Step 1: Planning & Design

Aamico Homes will work with you to create a home that meets your needs, lifestyle, and budget. This stage includes:

  • Choosing a floor plan or customizing one
  • Selecting materials, finishes, and fixtures
  • Reviewing local council regulations and approvals
  • Estimating costs and setting a budget

Step 2: Approvals & Permits

Before construction begins, necessary approvals must be obtained. This includes:

  • Securing building permits
  • Meeting zoning and compliance requirements
  • Finalizing financing and contracts

Step 3: Site Preparation & Foundation

Once all approvals are in place, the site is prepared for construction:

  • Clearing and leveling the land
  • Marking out the home’s layout
  • Pouring the foundation (slab, crawl space, or basement)

Step 4: Framing & Structural Work

This is where your home starts taking shape. Builders will:

  • Construct the frame (walls, floors, and roof structure)
  • Install windows and exterior doors
  • Complete structural inspections

Step 5: Roofing & External Finishes

With the frame in place, the home’s exterior starts coming together:

  • Installing the roof, gutters, and insulation
  • Adding external cladding, brickwork, or rendering
  • Ensuring weatherproofing is in place

Step 6: Plumbing, Electrical & HVAC

Next, the essential internal systems are installed:

  • Plumbing for water supply and drainage
  • Electrical wiring, lighting, and outlets
  • Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)

At this stage, the home starts to look more finished:

  • Installing drywall, plaster, and internal doors
  • Painting and flooring installation
  • Fitting kitchen and bathroom cabinetry, sinks, and appliances

Step 8: Final Touches & Landscaping

Your home is almost complete! The final details include:

  • Installing light fixtures, mirrors, and accessories
  • Cleaning the home and conducting a final walkthrough
  • Completing landscaping, driveways, and outdoor areas

Step 9: Handover & Move-In
