Quality in a custom home isn’t just about what you can see. Perhaps even more important are the parts that get covered up. Because of this, Capstone follows a practice of getting customer approvals at different checkpoints of our construction process while the home is being built. This helps ensure that the the finished home will reflects your decisions and daily needs. Here’s a closer look at this process and why it matters.
Seeing the Home at Stud Level Makes Decisions More Real
After the walls have been framed, things like room sizes, traffic flow, ceiling heights, and window placement become real. This makes it much easier to picture how you’ll lay out furniture and use your home each day, in a way that just isn’t possible when reviewing drawings.
Walking the space with your project manager is a valuable opportunity to confirm the home still feels aligned with your original plan and to talk through how you’ll use your space.
The Electrical Walkthrough Is One of the Most Important Approval Stages
Next comes the electrical walkthrough. During this stage, you’ll identify which electrical features and fixtures you want in the house, including outlets, switches, light fixtures, ceiling fans, appliance locations, exterior outlets, low-voltage needs, and more. Asking questions, talking through options, and getting practical input from the project manager to finalize these decisions is essential to ensure your home’s day to day functioning fully meets your needs.
Good Communication Creates a Better Finished Home
These early walkthroughs are incredibly valuable, because they help us get all of the details right before they potentially become harder to change. Clearly talking through decisions eliminates assumptions so that your finished home feels more personal, more functional, and more carefully built. Most importantly, it helps us achieve a Capstone-level of quality in every aspect of your build.
The checkpoints that occur along the way are just as important to your build quality as the home’s final look. By letting you get involved at key checkpoints to review decisions with your project manager, you can have confidence that your Capstone home will match the way you want to live.
