What happens, when...

This is a rough guideline to the order in which things happen.

Even if you are taking a hands off approach, there will be some decisions you will probably need to make regarding choices of flooring, wall coverings, paint colour, appliances, tiling, taps and light switches.

Be aware of when these will be required and make sure you have them ordered well in advance.

The general order of things:

Excavations
Foundations
Concrete floors poured
Framing constructed
Roof on
Windows fitted
Exterior cladding
Plumbing
Wiring
Insulation installed
Doors fitted
Interior lining installed
Cabinets installed in kitchen, bathroom, laundry
Tiling
Further electrical and plumbing work
Painting and finishing
Floor coverings.
