The contractor is required to submit a schedule of dates of construction for each home. Approximately 6 weeks prior to the start date of the first home, we will have a "How to Prepare Your Home for Construction" meeting. Once construction starts, the contractor will need a few weeks (not including weekends and holidays) to complete major construction on your home. The contractor will need to return to the home after this time period in order to correct minor work items. These items, called "Punch List" items, are not fully scheduled into the construction contract, so expect to see the contractor a few times after the scheduled construction period has ended. Throughout the construction process, the Project Architect will be inspecting the workmanship to ensure that all work conforms to the specifications. Any deficiencies will be corrected by the contractor prior to final acceptance by the Sound Insulation Program.
