What to Expect During the Home Addition Process

A step-by-step look at the addition process, so you know exactly what to expect from concept to completion.

The home addition process typically begins with a consultation and site evaluation. You’ll meet with your contractor to discuss your vision, your needs, and your budget. From there, a design team will draft plans and help you select finishes and materials.

Once permits are secured, construction begins. This phase may involve demolition, excavation, foundation work, framing, roofing, electrical and plumbing installation, insulation, drywall, and finish carpentry—depending on the scale of your project. Regular check-ins with your contractor help ensure everything stays on track.

While some disruption is unavoidable, a well-managed project will minimize stress and keep things moving efficiently. The final phase includes a detailed walkthrough to ensure all work meets your expectations and any punch list items are addressed.
