Finally, I have some updates regarding our home: we will have our pre-construction meeting tomorrow. Woohoo!
Chad and I aren't too sure what to ask the Project Manager, so I did some researching on Google. Also, I saw a post from Travis at Some Roads Lead to Rome which helped me tremendously. I'm sure more questions will come to mind once we're there, but this should be a great starting point. I'll update the post tomorrow with the PM's answers:
1. When will you be onsite?
2. Will you be away on vacation during this
build?
3. What's your preferred contact method and how frequent will we get
updates?
4. What is the rough schedule from ground breaking to
delivery?
5. Can remnants be saved from construction
(tile/wood/carpet/siding/etc.) and placed in garage?
6. Will the subflooring be glued/screwed or
glued/nailed?
7. Will drywall be screwed or nailed?
8. What kind of insulation do you use throughout home?
Blown/sprayed/batting?
9. Is each bedroom on a separate circuit?
10. What type of feed lines are run for plumbing?
PEX/PVC/copper?
11. Does our ump pump come with backup battery?
12. How many coats of asphalt will the driveway get?
13. What's the location of power outlets (and make sure he knows of the basement ceiling one we paid for)?
14. Will the laundry room have light and outlets?
15. Are there outlets in garage and exterior?
16. Where is the hose connection located?
17. Will our lawn be seeded?
18. What are the dimensions of the backyard for fencing?
19. When can we visit site?
20. Which way does the ceiling beam in basement run?
21. Can you center the island lights?
Great list!
