    STAGES OF A

    CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
    CONCEPT / DESIGN
    STAGE

    The very first stage of construction is to create


    a concept, followed by a design and blueprints.
    Typically, this is done with the help of an
    architect to ensure everything is up-to-code
    and that the design will be structurally-sound
    and stable. We work with our clients to ensure
    that the building will suit their needs and serve
    the business for many years to come.
    OBTAINING
    BUILDING PERMIT

    Once you have blueprints and construction


    plans, you will need to obtain the right
    building and construction permits. This
    process will be ongoing throughout the
    construction project, as you need to obtain
    different permits at different times.
    Working with an experienced construction
    firm aids this process immensely.
    CLEARING AND
    EXCAVATING THE
    LAND

    After obtaining your initial building permits,


    your construction project will commence by
    clearing and excavating the land upon which
    you want to build. This includes removing any
    trees, boulders or other obstacles that are in
    the way of your building, and leveling or
    grading the ground.
    When the space you are building one is
    POURING THE cleared and excavated, the foundation

    FOUNDATION can be poured. Depending on the size


    of your building and the stability of the
    land, preparing the subsurface may
    need to be done prior to the foundation
    being poured.
    Once the foundation has been poured and cured,

    COMPLETING THE framing begins on your building. This may include


    installing wood frames or steel beams or reinforced

    FRAMING concrete structural members. This process does


    take a while and it is important that everything is
    done correctly. This essentially sets the groundwork
    upon which all the other aspects of your building
    will follow.
    DOING ROUGH
    ELECTRICAL AND
    PLUMBING

    After the building has been completely


    framed out, specialty contractors will come
    in to complete rough electrical and
    plumbing work. This involves installing the
    pipes and wires where they need to go.
    Their job will not be completed at this
    point, but it helps to get the rough work in
    place so drywall, insulation, and ceilings
    can go up.
    About the same time that the rough electrical
    and plumbing work is done, roofers come in to

    INSTALLING THE complete the roof on the building. This needs


    to be done before any further work inside of
    ROOF the building can take place, as rain and
    outdoor elements can damage the work that is
    taking place in the next few steps. About this
    time, contractors will also be called in to
    complete the exterior of the building, further
    protecting the interior work that is about to
    take place.
    TAKING CARE OF
    HEATING AND
    COOLING NEEDS

    Once the building has exterior walls


    and a roof, heating and cooling needs
    are addressed. Vents, ductwork, and
    the heating and cooling unit are all
    installed.
    COMPLETING THE
    INTERIOR

    Upon the heating and cooling work being


    completed, the interior is completed. This
    includes adding insulation, putting up drywall,
    and adding ceilings. An electrician often comes
    out during this stage and finishes up by adding
    outlets and lighting fixtures.
    INSTALLING
    FIXTURES

    Once the interior walls are up, all of


    the fixtures inside of a space can be
    added. This includes things like
    toilets, cabinets, windows, doors and
    elevators.
    FINISHING UP

    The last stage of construction involves putting the


    finishing touches on the building. This involves
    installing flooring, painting the walls, putting
    countertops in or adding faucets in the bathrooms.
    Once this stage is done, the building process will be
    completed and you will be left with a beautiful
    building.
    POST
    CONSTRUCTION

    The final checklist, called a project punch list, has


    to be signed off on before the client moves in.
    That final walkthrough inspection checks that
    everything was finally finished correctly. Then,
    the architect issues a certificate of substantial
    completion. The government officials will now set
    a final inspection.
