Hello from a newbie! This is my first post.
My wife and I are planning to build in Osceola Hills this fall and are looking for advice on how many trips we should make to monitor construction progress. We’ve been advised by some of our new neighbors it is an excellent idea to stay on top of things by inspecting early and often. (Waiting until walk-through to find a problem is apparently not the best idea.)
Because we’ll be driving in from out of state, we’re curious about the experiences of Villagers who have been in our position. Our guess is we’d want to make our first visit shortly after the concrete foundation is poured but have little idea which milestones after that would merit a visit, much less when to plan a trip.
For those of you who have already built your homes, how would you monitor construction and when would you expect to have to do so? What are the important things to inspect during construction and, generally, when should we drop in to take a look? Most of all, do you have any general advice about this?
Thanks in advance!
