Each phase of construction has a specific quality checkpoint that must be passed in order to move on to the next phase.

Preconstruction
You are meet with your sales person and superintendent for a final review of your home plans.

Quality Checkpoint:
Pre-pour checkpoint includes a review of the lot prior to pouring the slab.

Foundation
KB Homes checks soil conditions,government requirements, and home size to ensure structural integrity. Post-tension engineering is used to stabilize each foundation.

Quality Checkpoint:
Before framing starts, the foundation and post-tension engineering are checked.

Lumber Drop and Framing
The framing stage usually takes one to four weeks, and consists of the following:
Walls start going up, work starts on the second-floor system (if applicable), using engineered floor joists.
Roof trusses arrive at the homesite

Quality Checkpoint:
During the framing stage, there are three separate checkpoints: the frame of the house is checked for correct sizing, squareness and workmanship.

Plumbing and Electrical
Air conditioning, heating, ventilation, plumbing and electrical wiring are installed.
Once the roof is installed, the exterior detail work begins, including trim, windows and doors.
HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) and plumbing systems are “roughed-in” as exterior trim is completed.
The electrical system is “roughed-in” during two days.
Exterior trim is painted

Quality Checkpoint:
Mechanical systems are inspected.

Drywall
It takes about two days to hang interior drywall. Then, drywall taping and finishing are completed and isulation is is blown in

Quality Checkpoint:
There are two checkpoints before drywall begins and after its completion: Upon cleaning up any drywall debris, FCMs check all walls and ceilings for finish and consistency.

Trim and Finish Details
Two-week phase during which all customized trim and finsih details are completed

Quality Checkpoint:
Three quality checkpoints, trim, pre-carpeting, and pre-final are conducted during this phase:

Interior trim is examined for fit and quality of installation.
HVAC systems are finished as a pre-final quality check focuses on all completed areas of the home.
Pre-final quality review of entire home. Appliances are installed.
Door and window screens are installed.
Carpeting is installed.
Various final inspections (bank, city, etc.), garage cleaning and paint touch-ups take place.

Quality Checkpoint:
Upon completion of the finals, one last quality check is conducted prior to scheduling the homeowner orientation.
