Pre-Construction Meeting

This morning I got to meet my Project Manager. He was very thorough and seemed to know a lot about the construction process, materials used, timelines, etc. My meeting was about 45 minutes. We went over all of my choices to make sure that everything that he had on paper matched my selections. I also got to see the color selection for my house (siding, shutters, door). Ryan assigns elevation color selection on townhouses to make sure everything blends well together. Thankfully, I love my colors! I didn't really have too many questions for my PM, other than the projected time line. My mother tagged along...so she brought plenty of questions:

1. When can we expect to be finished? Everything is on track for a closing date around the 2nd week in September
2. Will all the windows have shutters? The second bedroom window will not have shutters because its too close to the end of the unit to fit a shutter.
3. Where will my hose bibs be located? There will be 2 hose bibs. One on the back of the house and the other inside the garage on the front of the house.
4. Is it too late to add an additional pendant light over the island? Will make sure to throw the third one in there when they bring in Guardian for electrical.

If you read other Ryan Home blogs, you'll notice much more extensive pre-construction meeting questions. My PM did an excellent job answering a lot of those questions before I had to ask. Also, Ryan Homes is pretty uniform in the answers they provide to a lot of pre-construction questions.

When I pulled up for the pre-construction meeting at the model, they were grading the lots in preparation for breaking ground. Since we are expecting rain the earlier part of the week, my PM expects to break ground Friday! From there it should be about 8 weeks to our pre-dry wall meeting and like I said before, I should be able to close the 2nd week in September.

They're moving fast! So excited!
