What Occurs During the Pre-Construction Phase?

Once you have made the exciting decision to build your new home, you enter into the pre-construction phase. This is when the Excel Homes internal drafting and design teams begin preparing your home for municipal approvals.

During this phase, your brand new Excel home is essentially getting construction-ready. We know that might sound obvious, but it's a little bit more complicated than that. Each municipality is different, but the steps are generally the same. Our Construction and Drafting teams are delighted to shed some light and let you know the main steps involved:

  • The Home Site Plan is Created to Conform to Municipal and Grading Bylaws
  • Working Drawings created Specific to the Home
  • Working Drawings submitted for Developer Approval
  • Engineered Drawings are Created Specific to the Home
  • Working Drawings are then Revised and Finalized for the Home
  • House Permit applied for via the Municipality
  • Partial Permit Received (some municipalities will issue this to let us begin work)
  • Full Permit is Received

The Pre-Construction phase is a complicated one, and a lot is going on, but we make sure everything goes as smooth as possible here to achieve our goal of keeping your home on schedule.
