    Great post! I haven't come across anything laid out this nicely on the blogs. According to our progress, we are at #12 (plumbing rough it) and are beginning #13 (electrical), which corresponds with the permits I've been watching online. (Building a house is all about the stalking!)

    Thanks for posting! Looking forward to pictures!

    Congratulations on your new home!!!

    Wow, that's a great list. I believe this is the first I've heard of a PM actually handing a "guideline" list. Very cool!

    Thank you very much for this list. We used it in our preconstruction meeting since we were not provided one. As the PM would say, "then this happens," I would check it on your list. right on the money. Some items were not mentioned in specific details like yours shows, or omitted all together, so we are even more glad to have it. Thank you again!

      You are so welcome! I was also very happy when he gave us this. But just so you know, I noticed that some things (initially) can happen simultaneously or out of order... for example, our lumber was delivered before they poured the gravel. So, even if they are not in this particular order, as long as they are happening we should be covered. :-)
