Building a new home can be both exciting and overwhelming. The construction of your home is an extensive process with many moving parts, and it’s natural to want to know more about the components of your home and to stay informed throughout the build. As part of the building experience, we offer two scheduled walk-throughs and a pre-possession review to see your new home first-hand. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions at these walk-throughs to better understand the working parts of your home.
Scheduled Site Visits & Orientation
When you build a new home with Pacesetter, you’ll receive two construction walk-throughs and one pre-possession orientation. The first of your walk-throughs will be when plumbing, HVAC, and electrical have been installed. You’ll have the opportunity to see where and how everything is installed before your drywall encloses it all. It may be helpful to take photos at this walk-through, such as the location of backing boards, so that if you plan to mount a television on the wall when you move in, you’ll know exactly where you’ll be able to do so.
The second of your walk-throughs will be scheduled after your cabinets are installed. The purpose of this appointment is to see your home in a more completed stage of construction. There is still much to do at this stage prior to possession, but it’s an ideal time to discuss any concerns or ask questions about your home while there’s time to address them.
Your pre-possession orientation takes place approximately one week before your assigned possession date. At this orientation, you’ll walk through your entire home, inside and outside, and learn about the important features that operate your home. This includes your furnace and hot water heater, heat recovery ventilation system, sump pump, humidifier, and other important functionalities.
If at any time you wish to view your home outside of these scheduled walk-throughs, you may speak with your Area Sales Manager to discuss potential viewings. Please note, however, that your home is an active construction site, so safety measures must be observed, and excessive visits will affect the timeline of your home’s completion.
