When building a house, ideally, the weather
will be perfect, all the materials will arrive on time and intact, and the trades
people will be ready and on time. Unfortunately this is a very rare occasion.
The weather could take a turn for the worse, materials could be late or items
missing, the electrician could be held up at another job, or any number of things
could go wrong. The point is that building a house can be a chaotic event.
What we are attempting
is to give you a step by step guide to building a
house and some idea what each step involves. While certain
things must happen before others, like the foundation goes
in before the roof, other things may be completed in a different
order without creating many problems. In other words this site
is to be treated as a general guide to construction. |
