Steps To Build A Sherlock Home

  1. Go over a plan with the realtor or builder.
  2. Draw up contract and get financial approval.
  3. Time lines are set for construction to commence and a completion date.
  4. Builder coordinates plans with architect.
  5. Plans are approved by the homeowner.
  6. Approval of Architectural design from the developer representative of the subdivision.
  7. Plans then go to city hall for approval and building permit.
  8. A survey company plots the land for excavation.
  9. Alberta First Call is contacted for underground utility locations.
  10. Builder orders windows and trusses.
  11. The excavator digs the basement.
  12. City sewer and water lines are extended from the curb to the basement excavation and then the trench is filled in and retamped.
  13. The cribbing company puts in the footings and the basement walls.
  14. Weeping tile, tar and gravel are placed before backfill.
  15. The basement has to sit 5 to 8 days before dirt is back filled around exterior and garage.
  16. The gravel is placed in garage and basement floors.
  17. An application for city power needs to be done and hooked up before the framing of the home can start.
  18. Material is ordered while the framing of home is taking place which usually takes about 2 or 3 weeks to be completed.
  19. The client's input is needed to insure the proper construction of their ideas.
  20. During the last couple of days of framing we prepare to shingle the roof, pour the basement floor, deliver the tub and showers and install the windows and doors. We also build a deck and apply first coat of stain or covering.
