Mike Cole of Cole Construction and Duncan Todd of T² architecture review the house plans.

 

 

This chronicle presents the construction process of a custom home from the homowner's point of view. The information serves as an introduction to the technical aspects of house construction. The website includes all of the construction steps from start to finish but does not include the design or permit process. The scrapbook is of a particular house that includes some atypical design features.

 

 

Each of the major construction phases are listed chronologically on the left. Click on the phase of interest to learn more about the step.
