Construction Scheduling: What to Expect When Building a Home Addition

Building an addition isn’t just about construction — it’s about planning and coordination. A solid schedule ensures trades are on-site at the right time, inspections happen smoothly, and your project stays on budget.

Typical Timeline for a Home Addition

Here’s what most homeowners can expect:

• Planning & Permits (2–6 weeks): Design finalization and permitting.

• Foundation (1–2 weeks): Site prep, slab, or footings.

• Framing (1–3 weeks): Walls, floors, and roof structure.

• Roof, Windows & Doors (1–2 weeks): Drying in the home.

• Mechanical Systems (2–3 weeks): Plumbing, electrical, HVAC.

• Insulation & Drywall (1–2 weeks): Walls sealed and finished.

• Interior Finishes (2–4 weeks): Flooring, trim, cabinets, paint.

• Final Inspections (1 week): Code approvals and walkthrough.

What Can Affect the Schedule

• Weather delays (rain, storms)

• Material availability (special orders)

• Design changes during construction

• Inspection scheduling with the county
