Building a new home is a big milestone and at Nonna Homes, we’re here to make the process as smooth and clear as possible. Whether you're building for the first time or planning your dream forever home, knowing what to expect at each step can make all the difference. This is our comprehensive guide to building a house.

1. Initial Consultation and Feasibility Check

We start by sitting down with you to understand your needs, preferences, lifestyle, and budget. If you already own a plot of land, we’ll check it to see if it’s suitable for building. If not, we can assist you in locating the appropriate one.

We listen to your goals and vision for your home
We help assess or find the right land
We look at what's possible based on your needs and the site

2. Design and Planning

Once we know what you're looking for, our designers work with you to create a home layout that fits your lifestyle. You’ll help pick materials, colors, finishes, and more. At the same time, we make sure everything meets local building rules.

3. Budget and Building Agreement

After the design is set, we give you a detailed cost estimate so you know exactly what to expect. Once you’re happy, we sign a building agreement that includes the timeline, payment stages, and what’s included.

4. Getting Permits and Approvals

Before building can start, we take care of all the paperwork. We handle permits and approvals needed from local authorities so you don’t have to worry about it. We make sure everything is legal and ready to go.

5. Site Prep and Laying the Foundation

Next, we get the site ready. We create a solid foundation, level the ground, and clear the land. This step is important because it supports the entire house.

Clear and prepare the land
Excavate and build the base structure
Pour concrete and reinforce it for strength

6. Framing the Structure

Now the house starts to take shape. We build the framework—walls, floors, and the roof. This is when you can really start to see your home come to life.

7. Installing Plumbing, Wiring, and Insulation

We install the necessary systems, such as insulation, electrical wiring, and plumbing, after the structure is up. We make sure everything works perfectly and is ready for daily use.

8. Interior and Exterior Finishing

This is the exciting part! We add floors, paint, cabinets, tiles, and everything else that makes your house feel like home. Outside, we finish the roof, driveway, and landscaping.

9. Final Checks and Moving In

Before you move in, we do a full inspection to make sure everything is just right. We give you the keys to your new house once everything has been approved and finished.
