This service covers full ground-up residential construction, including site prep, framing, roofing, exterior finishes, and interior buildout.

What happens during a ground-up residential build

Your build begins with site evaluation and permit coordination, followed by foundation layout and framing that sets the structure for everything that follows. In Gainesville, the crew schedules inspections at key milestones to confirm each phase is code-compliant before moving forward. Roofing, plumbing rough-in, electrical runs, and insulation all happen in sequence, with materials staged to avoid delays.

Once the home is enclosed and mechanicals are installed, you will notice walls going up, drywall being finished, and flooring laid room by room. Trim work, paint, and fixture installation come last, turning bare framing into finished living space that is ready for furniture and occupancy.

High-quality materials are used throughout the build to ensure the home performs well in Florida weather and holds up under daily use. The crew keeps work areas clean and maintains access for inspections, so the project stays on schedule without cutting corners on durability or safety standards.

People planning a new home construction project often want to know how long the process takes, what permits are required, and how weather or inspections affect the timeline. These questions help clarify what to expect from site prep to certificate of occupancy.

Questions homeowners ask before starting a build

How long does a ground-up home construction project take?
Most residential builds take six to twelve months depending on size, complexity, and inspection schedules. Weather delays and permit turnaround times in Gainesville can shift the timeline, so the crew builds in buffer weeks to avoid rushing critical phases.
What permits are required for new home construction?
You will need building permits, electrical and plumbing permits, and possibly septic or well permits depending on your lot. Done W Right Painting & Renovation coordinates all required permits and schedules inspections at each phase to keep the project compliant.
What materials are used in the framing and exterior?
Framing uses engineered lumber or dimensional wood depending on design requirements, and exterior sheathing is installed with moisture barriers before siding or masonry goes up. Roofing materials are chosen for wind resistance and long-term durability in Florida conditions.
When can I make changes to the floor plan or finishes?
Changes are easiest before framing begins, but certain updates can be made during rough-in if they do not require structural modifications. Once drywall is up, changes become more expensive and can delay the schedule.
How is quality maintained throughout the build?
Owner oversight ensures every phase is inspected before the next one starts, and subcontractors are held to the same standards from foundation to final paint. The crew walks the site daily to catch issues early and keep work consistent with the original plan.
