Construction Schedule
Each Trade Partner is scheduled days or weeks in advance of the actual work. Time is allotted for completion of their contribution to your home.
It sometimes occurs that one Trade Partner completes their work ahead of schedule and the next Trade Partner already has an assigned time slot, which cannot be changed on short notice. The overall construction schedule allows for this.
The "Nothing Is Happening" Stage
There will be days during construction of your home when it appears that "nothing is happening."
Similarly, it may appear that no progress is being made while the home awaits one or more inspections. This is a part of the normal sequence of the construction schedule and occurs at some point in every home.
Delivery Date
The delivery date that your Sales Counselor gives you is always approximate. Weather can delay installing the foundation and can also affect installation of the framing, roofing, and exterior finishes. Material and labor shortages may affect the construction schedule. In addition, if your lender delays you in responding to a request, this can cause a delay. Changes submitted after the original purchase agreement has been completed can add days to the schedule.
See Delivery Date in the Closing guide for more detail.
