In this episode Jeff Wieland wraps up explaining the process of building a Custom Home. On previous episodes Jeff explained Selecting a Builder, Working with an Architect and Designer, Selections, Foundation, Framing, Mechanics, MidStage and Trim Phases. Today, Jeff explains the final phases of building a Custom Home; the Finished Mechanics and Completion Phases.

During the Finished Mechanics phase the HVAC, Plumbing, Mirrors and mirror frames, Closets, Lighting and electrical work including appliance installation and hook-ups are finalized. The hardwood finishing is also done during this phase. The final phase is the Completion Phase, this is when the final touch ups, carpet installation and accessories like toilet paper, towel holders are completed and the home is professionally cleaned including the windows inside and out. The exterior of the home is having the final grading done to the yard for proper drainage away from the house, preparation for the sod or straw, irrigation system, decorative walkways, bushes, trees, mulch and the mailbox installation.

There is a company walk-through of the home 10 days prior to the closing date to catch the little imperfections that need attention before the final client walk-through on closing day. Jeff also reviews the warranty period and what to expect when the house settles in the first year.
