Our success relies on our commitment to builing quality homes and providing customer satisfaction wih every house we build.  Evergreen State Builders understands how important your new home is to you and that the process is as important as the end product.

Each Evergreen home has an assigned superintendent responsible for overseeing every phase of your home's construction, ensuring that the final product meets all expectations.  The process follows a logical step-by-step process and moves along briskly, aimed at getting you moved into your home as soon as possible.  To make sure you are informed and involved in every phase, your sales agent will remain your primary point of contact throughout the process.  After you move into your new home, a helpful customer service team will answer any questions you may have.

The process is divided into nine phases:

1. Pre-Sale
2. Foundation
3. Framing
4. Rough-in
5. Finishes
6. Trim
7. Detailing
8. Final Orientation

9. Moving Day

Pre-sale

In the pre-sale stage, you are invited to sit down with our design consultant to review your new home.  Together you will confirm the placement of the home, review floor plans and choose your personal options, and find out what to expect during the building process.  This is the optimal time to choose all of your options to create your Dream Home.  Once city and county requirements are cleared, construction can begin.  Your sales agent will remain your primary contact through the process.

Foundation

The foundation is the concrete structure that supports your entire home.  The time it takes to build the foundation varies depending on your city's inspection codes and geographic location.  The structural engineer determines the foundation system for your homes and the superintendent pours the foundation.  This phase takes about 1 week.

Framing

The frame is the skeleton of your home.  All Evergreen homes have wood frames.  Bay windows and fireplaces are placed in the framing stage.  This phase takes about 2-4 weeks.

Rough-in

If the frame is the skeleton, then the rough-in is the internal parts of your Dream Home.  Items and options installed in this phase include air conditioning, heating, ventilation, plumbing and electrical wiring.  If you've opted for special security systems or pre-wiring for your stereo and entertainment centers, installation takes place at this point.  This phase takes about 2-4 weeks.

Finishes

This is when the fun really starts.  This is the midway point of the building process.  The finish is the detail of your new Dream Home.  It includes drywall, roofing, siding, the driveway and all major interior and exterior surfaces.  All the time spent choosing options starts to come to life.  During this phase, you will begin to recognize the Dream Home you customized and really see the home you'll be living in.  These finishing touches are what help to make the house start to look like YOUR new home.  Countertops and cabinets are installed, and the home is painted and stained.  Hard surfaces are laid in the kitchen and bath and any additional plumbing and electrical projects come to completion.  This phase takes about 2-4 weeks.

Trim

The trim installs faucets and sinks, light switches, towel bars, doorknobs and all the small hardware you'll be using on a daily basis.  This phase takes about 3-4 weeks.

Detailing

Workers wait until this final stage to install the flooring in the interest of protecting your carpets and hardwood surfaces from boots, nails and dust.  Any minor adjustments take place at this stage, like window screens, drywall and paint touch-ups.  Your Dream Home is given a thorough cleaning and is ready for a final walk-through.  This phase takes about 2 weeks.

Final Orientation

After weeks of hard work and patience, it's time to do the final orientation.  You meet with our customer service team and your sales agent and tour the home together.  At this point you sign the closing papers, after which you must wait for the escrow to clear before you actually get to slide that shiny new key onto your key chain.
