Constructing a new home is a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Organisation and planning are key to a successful project. If you follow these 13 steps you will have a smoother transition from design to completion.<\/p>\n
The first stage of construction is the clearing of the site. This involves pegging out by a surveyor. Depending on construction needs, you may need to build retaining walls during site preparation.<\/p>\n
Before the slab is poured a plumber will come in to install your plumbing underneath where the slab is formed prior to the piering taking place. Homeowners usually get a kick out of that stage because they can see the pieces starting to come together.<\/p>\n
Erecting frames doesn\u2019t usually involve any complications in the Northern Territory as they are put together and brought to the site ready to go up. At this stage you will begin to see the design of your home in the location and approximate size of the rooms.<\/p>\n
Depending on how your contractor prefers to do things, the roof may be installed before brickwork. The reason for this is to protect the frames as quickly as possible, assuring the structural integrity of your new home.<\/p>\n
The brickwork stage really starts to bring to life the shape of your new home.<\/p>\n
The last thing to take place prior to the internal linings being put in is the installation of your electrical and plumbing wiring and pipes.<\/p>\n
Next, insulation is completed in the walls and ceilings. Your contractor or builder will now move onto the linking of walls and ceilings.<\/p>\n
