These invoices reflect the percentage of work completed and help maintain a steady cash flow. But what should you expect? How do these amounts change over time? Let’s break it down. --- ## **How Progress Invoice Amounts Are Calculated** Each invoice is typically based on a **percentage of project completion**. The calculation follows a straightforward formula: > **(Total Contract Price) × (Percentage of Work Completed) = Invoice Amount** For example, if your total contract is **$500,000** and 20% of the work is done, the **Progress Invoice Amount** would be **$100,000**. Additionally, some invoices may include costs for stored materials, retainage (a small percentage withheld until project completion), and any approved change orders. --- ## **The Typical Pattern of Progress Invoice Amounts** In most construction projects, invoices follow a **bell curve pattern**. Here’s what that means: **Early Stages (Months 1-3):** Lower invoices due to planning, permitting, and initial mobilization. **Middle Stages (Months 4-9):** Higher invoices as work accelerates—materials arrive, labor increases, and major tasks are completed. **Final Stages (Months 10-12):** Lower invoices as finishing touches are added, with final payments including retainage release. --- ## **Graph: Typical Progress Invoice Amounts Over 12 Months** ![A line graph displaying a bell curve with a symmetrical peak at the center, representing a normal distribution.](https://i0.wp.com/kimballconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/AdobeStock_1235606624.jpeg?resize=1024%2C574&ssl=1) This visual helps illustrate how **Progress Invoice Amounts** fluctuate throughout a project. --- ## **Why Do Progress Invoice Amounts Vary?** Several factors can affect invoice amounts, including: ✔ **Project Complexity** – More intricate projects require specialized labor, which can impact the billing schedule. ✔ **Material Deliveries** – If large orders arrive in certain months, invoices may spike. ✔ **Weather Delays** – Seasonal slowdowns can shift the invoicing curve. ✔ **Change Orders** – Any modifications to the original contract can increase or decrease invoices. --- ## **What You Should Expect Each Month** Here’s a rough timeline of what your **Progress Invoice Amounts** might look like: **Month****Expected Invoice (%)**1-35-15%4-625-40%7-950-70%10-1280-100%Keep in mind, every project is unique. Kimball Construction will provide a **detailed invoicing schedule** specific to your job. --- ## **Final Thoughts on Progress Invoice Amounts** Understanding **Progress Invoice Amounts** helps you manage your budget and expectations. Since invoices follow a predictable pattern—low at the start, peaking in the middle, and tapering off at the end—you can plan ahead with confidence. At Kimball Construction, we ensure transparency in invoicing, so you always know what to expect. If you have any questions about your project’s progress invoices, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Unlike a fixed-price project, a Cost Plus contract allows many purchasing and hiring decisions. Decisions happen throughout construction as pricing is finalized, subcontractors are selected, and materials become available. For that reason, Kimball Construction uses an Authorization To Proceed. It keeps you involved in significant financial decisions without slowing progress of your new home. Rather than committing to major expenses on your behalf, we ask for your approval first. This gives you complete visibility into how your construction budget is being invested. An Authorization To Proceed is your written approval for Kimball Construction to move forward with a hiring or purchasing decision. Additionally, an Authorization To Proceed is not a change order. Furthermore, it does not change the design of your home, add new work, or modify your construction contract. Instead, it confirms you would like us to proceed with a significant expense. That expense is already part of building your home. Moreover, we may hire a framing contractor, order custom windows, purchase roof trusses, or place another large material order. This Authorization To Proceed lets you review the proposed commitment before we spend project funds. Although every project is different, Kimball Construction generally requests an Authorization To Proceed before making commitments that exceed approximately $10,000. This threshold strikes a balance between keeping you informed and allowing construction to move forward efficiently. Smaller purchases happen every day during the construction of a home, but larger commitments often involve deposits, long lead times, or subcontractor scheduling. By reviewing those decisions together, we maintain transparency while reducing the risk of misunderstandings later in the project. The process itself is intentionally simple. Once your project manager has gathered pricing and confirmed that a purchase or subcontractor is ready to move forward, they prepare an Authorization To Proceed and send it to you through BuilderTrend. You will receive a notification with a secure link where you can review the request, see what Kimball Construction is proposing, understand the anticipated cost, and electronically approve the decision. As soon as you sign, BuilderTrend automatically records your approval and notifies your project team, allowing us to begin ordering materials, securing subcontractors, or scheduling work without unnecessary delays. Additionally, most homeowners are surprised by how quickly the process takes. Moreover, in most cases, reviewing and signing an Authorization To Proceed requires about one minute. Nevertheless, it is a small time investment, and prompt responses can affect your project’s schedule. Many suppliers require deposits before manufacturing custom products, and some subcontractors book their schedules weeks or even months in advance. Consequently, timely approvals help us lock in pricing, secure production slots, and keep your new home moving steadily toward completion. Your project manager oversees this entire process because they have the best understanding of your project’s schedule, budget, and upcoming milestones. Before submitting an Authorization To Proceed, they review pricing, verify that the proposed expense is appropriate, and prepare a clear explanation of what is being authorized. As a result, you receive the information you need to make an informed decision without having to interpret bids, supplier quotes, or construction documents on your own. One of the advantages of building with Kimball Construction is the level of transparency we provide throughout construction. Instead of simply informing you after a significant purchase has been made, we invite you into the decision-making process before major financial commitments occur. This approach gives you confidence that your budget remains under your control while allowing our team to continue managing the countless details required to build your home efficiently. If you are planning to build a custom home, we also encourage you to learn more about our custom home building process, our preconstruction services, and what to expect during each phase of construction. Understanding how these processes work together will help you feel confident from your initial consultation through the day you receive the keys to your new home. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### What is an Authorization To Proceed? An Authorization To Proceed is a written approval that authorizes Kimball Construction to hire a subcontractor, purchase materials, or make another significant financial commitment on your behalf during a Cost Plus custom home project. #### Is an Authorization To Proceed the same as a change order? No. An Authorization To Proceed does not change the scope of work or modify your contract. Instead, it authorizes Kimball Construction to proceed with a significant hiring or purchasing decision that is already part of building your home. #### When is an Authorization To Proceed required? Kimball Construction generally requests an Authorization To Proceed before making project commitments that exceed approximately $10,000. #### How do I complete an Authorization To Proceed? Your project manager will send the Authorization To Proceed through BuilderTrend. Simply open the notification, review the request, and electronically sign the document. The entire process typically takes about one minute. #### Who prepares an Authorization To Proceed? Your Kimball Construction project manager prepares each Authorization To Proceed after reviewing pricing, confirming the proposed purchase or subcontract, and ensuring the request is ready for your approval. #### Why does Kimball Construction use Authorization To Proceed documents? Authorization To Proceed documents provide transparency throughout the construction process. They ensure homeowners approve significant project expenditures before Kimball Construction commits project funds. This helps maintain trust while keeping construction on schedule. Building a custom home should be an exciting experience, and clear communication plays a major role in making that happen. An Authorization To Proceed is one of the tools Kimball Construction uses to provide that clarity. By asking for your approval before making significant financial commitments, we help you stay informed, maintain control of your budget, and move confidently through every stage of building your new home. **Categories:** Administration, What to Expect **Tags:** Administration, Construction, Project Management, Residential --- ### [What to Expect: Selecting Appliances for Your Custom Home](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-selecting-appliances-for-your-custom-home/) **Published:** December 3, 2024 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** Selecting appliances for your custom home is one of the most exciting milestones in the custom home building process.

These connections provide the final links that make a house livable, powering the lights, supplying water, connecting communications, and ensuring systems run safely. At Kimball Construction, we manage every detail to ensure these connections are completed correctly the first time. Utility connections bring services such as water, electricity, gas, sewer, stormwater, and communications into the home from public infrastructure or the utility grid. While preliminary work begins early in the construction process, the physical tie-in to live utility systems happens toward the end of the rough-in phase and finishes before final occupancy. This phase requires careful regulatory, logistical, and technical coordination. One of the first decisions we guide homeowners through is whether electrical power will be connected overhead or underground. Many newer subdivisions require underground utilities for safety and aesthetics. In these cases, we route the electrical service through a conduit from a transformer or junction box directly into the home. Alternatively, overhead power involves utility poles and wires running above ground to a weatherhead mounted on the house exterior. Determining where to place these connections begins during the planning phase. Kimball Construction collaborates with surveyors, engineers, and utility providers to map out where each service enters the property. We locate the nearest utility access points, such as a power transformer, gas main, or water meter, and design the shortest, most efficient connection path to reduce costs and maintain long-term reliability. For power and communication lines, we also account for potential interference and future accessibility. If driveways, landscaping, or retaining walls could block access, we adjust the route early. Every connection point must comply with local codes, spacing requirements, and clearance rules. For instance, an overhead electrical drop must maintain a strict minimum height above driveways and walking paths. Water and sewer connections are equally important. These lines tie into municipal mains and must be pressure-tested and inspected. Kimball Construction ensures each connection aligns with the home’s interior layout so that plumbing, gas appliances, and HVAC systems connect seamlessly with service entries. Beyond the physical infrastructure, homeowners must also apply for new utility accounts. Before services can be activated, applications must be submitted to each utility provider. This step is required to secure final inspections and occupancy permits. Kimball Construction simplifies this process by guiding homeowners through the paperwork and ensuring applications are submitted in alignment with the construction timeline. Utility companies often require significant lead times for final connections. Electrical meters, gas meters, and water service taps are typically installed by the utility providers only after rough-in inspections pass. Kimball Construction ensures the site is ready, safe, and accessible for these utility teams when they arrive. Timelines vary, and ordering services can take up to three weeks depending on the provider’s backlog. Once scheduled, the physical connection, such as installing a meter or energizing a line, usually takes just a day or two. However, tight coordination is necessary to avoid delays in the final stages of construction. We communicate daily with utility companies to keep the project moving forward. We manage each utility connection as part of a structured sequence. By handling layout, permitting, contractor scheduling, and provider coordination, Kimball Construction removes the stress and keeps your new home on track for move-in day. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Will I have underground or overhead power? That depends on your neighborhood’s requirements and available infrastructure. Kimball Construction helps determine the best method based on aesthetics, budget, and code compliance. #### How do I know where the utilities will connect? We plan each utility entry point in coordination with utility providers and your home’s design. You’ll know where everything connects before any installation happens. #### Do I need to contact the utility companies? You’ll need to set up accounts in your name. Kimball Construction assists with all utility applications to make this step seamless. #### What if utility access is far from my home site? We’ll identify the most efficient route and work with utility companies on extension options. This may add time or cost, but we’ll guide you through every step. #### How long does it take to get final utility connections? Once inspections are done, utility connections usually take 1–3 weeks to schedule and 1–2 days to install. We manage the timeline so you’re not left waiting. #### Are all utility services included in my contract? Most utility connection work is included. If additional offsite work is needed, we’ll provide a clear estimate in advance and get your approval before moving forward. #### When will I receive my first utility bill? You will receive account confirmation paperwork shortly after signing up. Monthly billing will begin almost immediately for temporary construction service, which keeps the build moving forward. Since you aren’t living there yet, this temporary service is usually inexpensive, typically costing under $50 a month. Once construction is complete and you transition to permanent residential service, your first standard bill will arrive about a month later. Your home isn’t truly complete until the utility connections are in place and functioning. At Kimball Construction, we manage every step—overhead or underground, electric or gas—to ensure your home is connected safely, efficiently, and on schedule.

Stormwater systems play a critical role in protecting your property from water damage and ensuring long-term sustainability. As a homeowner, understanding the process from start to finish can make all the difference in ensuring your investment is well-protected. At Kimball Construction, we take the time to integrate reliable stormwater solutions right from the foundation of every new home we build in Eugene. Stormwater systems are networks designed to manage and direct rainwater runoff away from your home and surrounding land. These systems can include surface elements like gutters and downspouts, as well as underground features such as rain gardens, soakage trenches, dry wells, and detention systems. The purpose is to prevent water accumulation around the foundation, which could lead to erosion, flooding, or costly structural damage over time. Because homes in Eugene experience frequent rainfall and seasonal weather shifts, a well-planned stormwater system is not just a benefit, it is essential. In a typical home construction project, stormwater systems are installed at specific stages to ensure maximum efficiency. They begin taking shape during the excavation and grading phase. This is when trenches are dug and slopes are formed to naturally guide water away from the property. Then, as framing and foundational work progress, underground features like soakage trenches and French drains are placed. These systems are designed to absorb and filter water gradually into the ground, supporting both environmental health and home durability. When it comes time for exterior finishing, surface-level components are added. Gutters, downspouts, splash blocks, area drains, and final grading are typically installed toward the end of construction. Each part is carefully positioned to complement the underground network already in place, ensuring that stormwater is directed safely away from the home. Transitioning from underground infrastructure to visible exterior components, the stormwater system becomes complete and fully functional. In many jurisdictions, including Eugene and surrounding communities, certain stormwater systems also require an Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan. An O&M Plan is a recorded document that outlines how the stormwater system must be maintained over time to ensure continued performance and compliance with local regulations. These plans often include maintenance schedules, inspection requirements, and owner responsibilities for features such as dry wells, detention systems, rain gardens, and water quality facilities. O&M Plans are important because stormwater systems are intended to function for the life of the property, not just during initial construction. Depending on the project and local jurisdiction requirements, O&M documents may also need to be notarized and recorded with the county so they become part of the property record. To streamline the process for homeowners, Kimball Construction can assist with coordinating online notarization services and preparing the required documentation for signature. Once completed, our team can also coordinate filing and recording the required stormwater documents with the county on the homeowner’s behalf. This helps ensure the project remains compliant while reducing administrative burdens during construction. The installation of these systems is carried out by professionals with specialized knowledge in hydrology, grading, residential construction, and local stormwater regulations. That is where Kimball Construction steps in. Our team does not just build homes. We construct comprehensive solutions that include efficient stormwater management. With extensive experience building homes across Eugene’s diverse terrain, our crews ensure that each component is installed to meet applicable codes, engineering requirements, and long-term performance standards. On average, installing a full stormwater system takes anywhere from several days to a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the site. For example, a simple setup might require only basic gutters and a soakage trench, while more challenging lots could need multiple systems such as rain gardens, detention facilities, catch basins, or engineered treatment systems. In all cases, the timeline is coordinated with other phases of construction to avoid delays and ensure seamless integration. Because gutters are usually installed near the end of the project, homeowners often view this as a visible sign that their new home is nearing completion. As a trusted general contractor in Eugene, Kimball Construction is committed to building homes that are not only beautiful, but also designed to handle the elements for decades to come. Our team provides a thorough assessment of your lot, coordinates with engineers and local agencies when required, designs a custom stormwater solution, and installs it with precision and care. This helps ensure that your home stays protected no matter the weather. ### Frequently Asked Questions What is the main purpose of stormwater systems in homes?

An email comes in asking about siding colors. A text follows about door hardware. Then a call about electrical layouts. Meanwhile, there’s a question about permits, a request to revisit a framing detail, and a push to accelerate finishes that depend on work not yet completed. Individually, each request is reasonable. Collectively, they create a problem. It becomes everything, everywhere, all at once. #### The Illusion of Simultaneity The title of Everything Everywhere All at Once works because it’s absurd. It suggests a world where everything can happen simultaneously without consequence. Construction does not work that way. Every project is bound by constraints: - Time - Labor - Materials - Sequencing No matter how experienced the contractor or how motivated the team, these constraints don’t go away. They are not negotiable. They are the physics of building. When owners push for progress on multiple fronts without regard to sequencing or priority, it creates friction with those constraints. And the constraints always win. #### The Critical Path Isn’t a Suggestion In construction, the critical path is not just a scheduling tool. It is the backbone of the entire project. It answers a simple question: **What must happen next for the project to move forward?** Not what *could* happen. Not what would be *nice* to address. What must happen. When attention is diverted away from critical path activities, the entire project slows down. Even if work is being done, it’s the wrong work at the wrong time. For example: - Reviewing paint colors while framing corrections are pending - Discussing cabinet layouts before rough-ins are finalized - Pushing finish work while exterior envelope issues remain unresolved These are not harmless detours. They create real delays. #### The Cost of Context Switching Construction teams are not infinite. Neither is their attention. Every time a contractor shifts focus from one task to another, there is a cost: - Reorienting to a different scope - Pulling drawings and specifications - Coordinating with different subcontractors - Rebuilding mental context This is time that does not move the project forward. Multiply that across dozens of requests, and the result is predictable: - Slower progress - Increased errors - Frustrated teams - Higher costs What feels like “pushing the project forward” often has the opposite effect. #### Urgency vs. Importance Not all tasks are equal. Some items feel urgent because they are visible or top-of-mind: - Finish selections - Aesthetic decisions - Minor layout tweaks But the most important tasks are often less visible: - Structural corrections - Waterproofing details - Rough-in coordination - Inspection approvals Focusing on what feels urgent instead of what is important is one of the fastest ways to derail a project timeline. #### The Reality of Limited Resources Every contractor is managing finite resources: - Crews can only be in one place at a time - Subcontractors are scheduled in sequence - Materials arrive based on planned installation dates When priorities constantly shift, those resources cannot be deployed effectively. This leads to: - Idle labor waiting on decisions - Re-mobilization costs - Lost schedule slots with subcontractors - Increased risk of rework In other words, the project becomes less efficient, not more. #### A Better Approach The most successful projects share a common trait: alignment on priorities. That means: - Respecting the critical path - Making decisions when they are needed, not all at once - Trusting the sequencing of the work - Allowing the contractor to focus on what moves the project forward It does not mean ignoring questions or concerns. It means addressing them at the right time. #### Final Thought Every project exists within the same fundamental constraint: time moves in one direction, and only so much can happen within it. Trying to do everything, everywhere, all at once doesn’t accelerate a project. It fragments it. Progress comes from focus. From sequencing. From doing the right thing at the right time. That’s how projects move forward. **Categories:** Administration --- ### [What To Expect: Finish Smart Savings Program](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-finish-smart-savings-program/) **Published:** January 29, 2026 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** When people start planning a new construction home, one of the first things they run into is finish selections. Flooring, cabinets, lighting, tile, hardware. The options are nearly endless. That sounds exciting at first, but it quickly turns into a time-consuming and expensive process that can slow the project down. The Finish Smart Savings Program was created to solve that problem. Instead of sorting through thousands of options and pricing each one, this program gives you a curated set of finishes that we already know work well. These are materials that are available, install efficiently, and deliver a clean, high-quality result. When you choose from this approved list, you also receive a 2 percent discount on your total project cost. The goal is simple. Fewer decisions, less back-and-forth, and a smoother path from start to finish. In a typical custom home, finish selections often stretch out over weeks or months. Owners request pricing, reconsider choices, wait on availability, and make changes as the project moves forward. Each of those steps introduces cost, delays, and uncertainty. With the Finish Smart approach, those variables are reduced early. All approved finishes are presented in BuilderTrend, where you can review options and make selections in one place. Because everything is organized and pre-vetted, decisions happen faster, pricing stays clearer, and the project keeps moving. Most homeowners choose to participate early in the process, usually during initial planning or design coordination. That timing matters because finish selections impact everything from budgeting to scheduling to procurement. Making those decisions early helps avoid surprises later. The program is straightforward to participate in. If you select all finishes from the approved list, the discount applies to your entire project cost. If you decide to go outside that list for a specific item, we can still accommodate that, but it typically involves additional coordination and may affect the overall savings. For that reason, the program works best for homeowners who value efficiency, clarity, and predictable costs. It also helps keep the schedule on track. The finishes included in the program are chosen in part because they have consistent lead times and reliable availability. That allows materials to be ordered earlier and reduces the risk of delays caused by backorders or last-minute changes. No system eliminates every issue in construction, but this one removes a lot of the common friction points. Fewer change orders. Less waiting on pricing. Fewer delays tied to selections. If you are planning a new construction home, it is worth talking through the Finish Smart Savings Program early in the process. It is one of the simplest ways to reduce cost, speed up decisions, and keep your project moving forward without unnecessary complications.

This guide simplifies the process, from evaluating your financial situation to signing a contract with Kimball Construction. **Content:** Building a new construction home requires more than choosing a floor plan and breaking ground. When financing is involved, the process includes several financial and planning steps that must occur before construction begins. While this may sound complex at first, the process becomes much easier when you understand what to expect and work with experienced professionals. At Kimball Construction, we regularly guide homeowners through this process. The steps below describe how financing typically works when building a home on bare land and how the process moves from initial financial planning to signing a construction contract. **Step 1: Evaluate Your Financial Situation** The process usually begins with a careful review of your financial position. Before speaking with lenders or purchasing land, it helps to understand your credit profile, available savings, and overall borrowing capacity. Most lenders will review several factors when evaluating a borrower for a construction loan. These typically include your credit score, income stability, debt-to-income ratio, and available down payment. Because construction loans are considered higher risk than traditional mortgages, lenders often require stronger financial qualifications. It is also helpful at this stage to understand the difference between construction loans and traditional home mortgages. A traditional mortgage funds the purchase of a completed home. A construction loan, on the other hand, funds the building process in stages as work is completed. Reviewing your financial situation early helps you determine whether now is the right time to build and establishes a realistic project budget. **Step 2: Choose the Right Type of Loan** Several loan products exist for financing new construction homes. The best option depends on your financial situation, long-term plans, and eligibility for certain programs. Construction-only loans fund the construction phase of the project but require a separate mortgage when the home is complete. These loans are short-term and are typically refinanced once construction finishes. Construction-to-permanent loans are one of the most common options for new construction homes. These loans begin as construction loans and automatically convert to a traditional mortgage after the home is completed. This option allows borrowers to complete the process with a single loan closing. Government-backed loan programs may also be available for qualified buyers. VA loans provide financing for eligible veterans and service members, while FHA construction loans offer options for borrowers who qualify under FHA guidelines. Each loan program has different qualification standards, interest rates, and fees. A lender experienced in construction financing can help you determine which program best fits your situation. **Step 3: Find the Right Lender** Not every lender offers construction financing. Even among lenders who do, experience levels can vary significantly. For this reason, it is important to work with a lender who regularly handles construction loans and understands how the building process works. Construction financing involves draw schedules, inspections, project budgets, and coordination with the contractor. A lender who is familiar with these steps can help prevent delays later in the process. When selecting a lender, compare interest rates, origination fees, closing costs, and loan terms. It can also be helpful to ask how their draw process works and how often inspections occur before funds are released. **Step 4: Secure Pre-Approval** Once you have identified a lender, the next step is obtaining pre-approval. Pre-approval allows the lender to review your financial information and determine how much they are willing to lend. This step provides two major benefits. First, it gives you a clear understanding of your budget when evaluating land and design options. Second, it demonstrates to land sellers and contractors that you are a qualified buyer who is ready to move forward. During pre-approval, the lender will typically request financial documents such as tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements, and credit authorization. After reviewing this information, the lender will issue a pre-approval letter indicating your approximate loan amount. **Step 5: Make an Offer on the Land** Once financing appears viable, many homeowners begin searching for land. Purchasing land is usually the first major step toward building a new home. When you identify a suitable property, you will typically submit an offer and negotiate a purchase agreement with the seller. Most buyers include a due diligence period, often lasting between fourteen and thirty days. This period allows time to evaluate the property before completing the purchase. During due diligence, you may review zoning requirements, confirm utility access, verify property boundaries, and evaluate site conditions. These investigations help ensure the property can support the type of home you plan to build. **Step 6: Prepare Preliminary Plans** While the land due diligence process is underway, preliminary design work often begins. These early plans help lenders understand what type of home will be built and allow contractors to prepare accurate cost estimates. Some homeowners work with an architect or residential designer during this phase. Others begin with a floor plan or concept design and refine it as the project develops. Kimball Construction often assists clients during this stage by reviewing the proposed design and helping identify practical construction considerations. Early collaboration can help avoid costly revisions later in the process. Preliminary plans typically include a basic floor plan, elevations, and general building specifications. These documents do not need to be fully engineered yet, but they must provide enough detail for preliminary pricing. **Step 7: Obtain an Estimate from Kimball Construction** Once preliminary plans are available, Kimball Construction can prepare an initial project estimate. This estimate reflects current construction costs, site conditions, and the specific features included in the design. The estimate helps both the homeowner and lender understand the anticipated cost of the project. If the estimate exceeds the loan budget, adjustments can be made before the design process moves forward. During this stage, homeowners may also begin making early decisions about materials, finishes, and overall design preferences. These discussions help refine the project scope and improve the accuracy of the construction budget. **Step 8: Submit Your Loan Application and Finalize Approval** After the design concept and construction budget are established, the formal loan application can move forward. At this point, the lender reviews the project in detail. Construction lenders typically evaluate several items before granting final approval. These may include the construction plans, project budget, contractor qualifications, and appraisal of the completed home. The appraisal process estimates the future value of the home once construction is complete. This projected value helps the lender determine the appropriate loan amount. If the project meets the lender’s requirements, the loan moves toward final approval. The lender will then prepare loan documents, finalize interest rates and fees, and establish the draw schedule used during construction. **Step 9: Close on the Land** Once financing is approved, the land purchase can move to closing. At closing, the buyer signs final documents, pays closing costs, and transfers ownership of the property. After closing, the deed is recorded and the buyer officially becomes the property owner. In many construction loans, the land purchase and construction loan are finalized during the same closing process. At this stage, the project is nearly ready to begin construction. **Step 10: Sign a Contract with Kimball Construction** The final step before construction begins is executing the construction contract with Kimball Construction. This agreement defines the scope of work, construction timeline, payment structure, and responsibilities of each party. Construction loans typically fund the project through a series of draws. As construction progresses, Kimball Construction submits draw requests to the lender for completed work. The lender then releases funds according to the draw schedule. Clear communication during this stage helps ensure that everyone understands the project scope, budget, and expectations before construction begins. Conclusion Financing a new construction home involves several coordinated steps, including financial planning, land acquisition, project design, loan approval, and construction contracting. Although the process includes multiple stages, each step moves the project closer to building your new home. By working with experienced lenders and a knowledgeable builder like Kimball Construction, homeowners can move through the process with greater clarity and confidence. Careful planning at the beginning of the project helps create a smoother path toward construction and, ultimately, the completion of your new home. ### Frequently Asked Questions ### What is a construction loan? A construction loan is a short-term loan used to finance the building of a home. Unlike a traditional mortgage, the lender releases funds in stages as construction progresses. These payments are called draws and are typically issued after inspections confirm that specific portions of the work have been completed. ### How much down payment is required for a construction loan? Down payment requirements vary by lender and loan program. Many construction loans require between 10 percent and 20 percent of the total project cost. However, if you already own the land, the equity in the land may count toward the required down payment. ### Do I need to own land before applying for a construction loan? Not necessarily. Some construction loans allow the land purchase to be included in the loan itself. In these cases, the land purchase and construction financing occur at the same closing. ### How long does the construction loan approval process take? The approval timeline varies depending on the lender, but it commonly takes several weeks. The lender must review the borrower’s finances, construction plans, project budget, contractor qualifications, and an appraisal of the completed home. ### When does construction actually begin? Construction typically begins after several steps are complete. The land purchase must close, the construction loan must be finalized, and the construction contract must be signed. Once these items are in place and permits are approved, construction can begin. ### Can I make changes to the design after construction begins? Changes may still be possible after construction begins, but they typically require a change order. Change orders can affect the project schedule and cost, so it is best to finalize as many design decisions as possible before construction starts. ### Why is Kimball Construction involved before the loan is finalized? Lenders typically require a construction budget and preliminary plans before approving a construction loan. Kimball Construction helps prepare these estimates so the lender can evaluate the project accurately and determine the appropriate loan amount. **Categories:** Next Step, What to Expect --- ### [What to Expect: Selecting and Installation of Siding](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-selecting-and-installation-of-siding/) **Published:** March 11, 2026 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** Building a new home involves many exciting milestones, yet few choices impact the final appearance and protection of your property more than your **Siding**. This exterior cladding serves as the primary shield for your house, as it defends the structural frame against wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations. When you partner with Kimball Construction for a new construction project, you will find that **Siding** defines the character of your home while ensuring long-term durability. Understanding exactly what this material is and how it functions helps you make the best decision for your unique aesthetic. Essentially, **Siding** refers to the protective material attached to the exterior walls of a house or other residential building to shed water and protect the home from the effects of weather. The process of choosing the right **Siding** begins early in the design phase because your choice influences both the budget and the structural requirements of the exterior walls. Kimball Construction presents all available material and color selections within BuilderTrend, so you can review and provide your final approval with ease. While BuilderTrend contains our curated standard options, you might desire more specific or custom selections for your new home. In those cases, we encourage you to research premium brands and retailers such as James Hardie, Alside, or local suppliers like The Home Depot and Lowe’s to explore a wider variety of textures and profiles. After you select your preferred **Siding**, we move into the scheduling phase to ensure the materials arrive exactly when the build reaches the exterior finishing stage. In a typical new construction timeline, Kimball Construction schedules the installation of **Siding** after the framing, roofing, and window installations are complete. This sequence is vital because the house must be “dried in” to prevent moisture from getting trapped behind the new panels. Furthermore, local building inspectors must approve the rough-in electrical and plumbing work before we cover the exterior sheathing. Consequently, the **Siding** phase signals a major transition where your house finally begins to look like a finished home. Our professional installers handle the physical application, as they possess the specialized tools and experience required to manage heavy fiber cement or precise vinyl locking systems. The actual installation process follows a meticulous series of steps to guarantee a weatherproof seal. First, the crew applies a high-quality house wrap or weather-resistive barrier over the plywood sheathing to allow the house to breathe while blocking liquid water. Next, the team installs starter strips, corner posts, and trim around windows and doors to create the framework for the panels. Then, the installers carefully attach the **Siding** courses from the bottom up, as they ensure each piece levels perfectly with the one below it. Finally, we apply professional-grade caulk to joints and gaps, which provides the last line of defense against the elements and creates a polished, seamless look. You should anticipate that the entire **Siding** phase will take approximately two to four weeks from start to finish. This duration includes a rough-in period of about one week for weatherproofing and trim, followed by seven to ten days for the primary installation. However, lead times for ordering materials can vary significantly based on your specific choices. Standard vinyl options might arrive in a few days, whereas custom-colored fiber cement or specialty wood products can require three to six weeks of lead time. Kimball Construction manages these logistical details within your project schedule to minimize any downtime on the job site. By the time our team performs the final cleanup, your new construction home will stand fully protected and beautifully finished. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### Can I change my siding design after the order is placed? Because we place orders for your **Siding** immediately after your BuilderTrend approval to meet construction deadlines, changes are usually not possible without significant fees and delays. We recommend visiting local showrooms to see physical samples of your **Siding** in person before you click the approval button in our portal. #### Does the weather affect when the siding is installed? Yes, extreme weather conditions can delay the installation of **Siding** on your new home. While our crews can work through light rain, we must pause during heavy storms or high winds to ensure both the safety of the workers and the integrity of the moisture barrier. #### Is a specific type of siding better for new construction? The best **Siding** for your home depends on your budget and desired maintenance level. Fiber cement offers incredible fire resistance and a wood-like look, while vinyl provides a cost-effective, low-maintenance solution that never needs painting. Kimball Construction can help you weigh these benefits during your selection meeting. Would you like me to create a detailed comparison table of the different siding materials mentioned to help with your selection process? **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [What To Expect: Selecting and Installation of Roofing](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-selecting-and-installation-of-roofing/) **Published:** March 9, 2026 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** Selecting and installing Roofing is one of the most visible and important steps in building a new home. As construction progresses, many homeowners start to picture how their home will look when everything comes together, and Roofing plays a major role in that final appearance. At the same time, Roofing protects the structure from rain, wind, sun, and seasonal weather. Because of that, Roofing decisions affect both style and long-term performance. During the home building process with Kimball Construction, Roofing becomes part of a well-planned sequence rather than a rushed decision. Homeowners usually start thinking about Roofing earlier than they expect because the design, color, and material must coordinate with siding, trim, and the overall style of the house. As a result, Roofing becomes both a design choice and a structural milestone during new construction. Several Roofing options are available for new homes, and each option offers different benefits. The most common choice for residential Roofing is architectural asphalt shingles. Builders and homeowners choose this Roofing type because it balances durability, affordability, and style. Architectural shingles also come in many colors and textures, which helps homeowners match Roofing with siding, stone, or other exterior finishes. Metal Roofing has also become more popular in residential construction. Many homeowners like metal Roofing because it lasts longer than many traditional materials and reflects heat well during warmer months. In addition, metal Roofing often performs well in areas with heavy rain or wind. While the upfront cost can be higher, some homeowners choose metal Roofing because it offers strong long-term value. Another option includes composite or designer Roofing shingles. These products mimic the look of slate or wood shake while maintaining the installation simplicity of asphalt Roofing. As a result, homeowners can achieve a distinctive appearance without choosing extremely heavy Roofing materials. While natural slate or cedar Roofing exists, builders typically reserve those materials for specialty homes due to cost and structural considerations. Timing matters when planning Roofing in a new home build. Roofing typically takes place after the framing of the home is complete and the roof decking is installed. At that stage, the house begins to look like a finished structure instead of a framed outline. Installing Roofing quickly after framing helps protect the interior from weather so other construction steps can move forward without delays. Because of this schedule, Kimball Construction coordinates Roofing installation with the overall construction timeline. Once the roof decking is secured, the Roofing crew installs underlayment, flashing, and the final Roofing material. This process seals the structure and allows interior work such as plumbing, electrical rough-ins, and insulation to continue without exposure to rain. Before installation begins, homeowners select their Roofing materials. The Roofing selection process often takes place during the design and planning stages of a new home. Kimball Construction presents standard Roofing options within BuilderTrend so homeowners can review colors, styles, and product details in one organized place. BuilderTrend allows homeowners to view Roofing options digitally and provide final approval before materials are ordered. Many homeowners enjoy researching Roofing beyond the standard options as well. If someone wants to explore additional Roofing styles, several stores provide helpful displays and product information. Homeowners often visit retailers such as Home Depot, Lowe’s, or specialty suppliers like ABC Supply or Parr Lumber to see Roofing samples in person. These locations allow homeowners to compare colors, textures, and product warranties while gathering ideas that fit their home design. Even when homeowners explore outside resources, they typically finalize Roofing selections within BuilderTrend so the Kimball Construction team can confirm the exact material and schedule ordering. This system helps prevent confusion while ensuring the correct Roofing product arrives on site at the right time. Once materials arrive, the Roofing installation process begins with careful preparation. First, installers inspect the roof decking to confirm that it sits securely across the framing. Next, the crew installs underlayment across the entire roof surface. This layer adds water resistance and helps protect the home if wind or rain occurs before the final Roofing material is complete. After the underlayment, installers place flashing around valleys, vents, chimneys, and roof edges. Flashing directs water away from seams and prevents leaks. Once these protective components are in place, the crew installs the chosen Roofing material, typically starting from the bottom edge and working upward toward the peak. This method allows each layer of Roofing to overlap the one below it, which naturally directs water downward. Roofing crews also install ridge vents or other ventilation components during this phase. Proper ventilation improves the lifespan of Roofing materials and helps regulate attic temperatures. Because of this, Roofing installation always includes both protective layers and ventilation systems that support the entire structure. Professional Roofing contractors perform the installation rather than the general builder. Kimball Construction coordinates and manages the Roofing schedule, but experienced Roofing specialists complete the actual installation. These crews work with Roofing materials daily and follow manufacturer guidelines carefully. Their experience ensures each Roofing component is installed correctly, which protects the home for many years. Kimball Construction selects trusted Roofing contractors who consistently meet quality standards and timelines. By working with experienced crews, the company ensures the Roofing installation matches the overall craftsmanship of the new home. This partnership allows homeowners to feel confident that their Roofing system performs as expected once construction finishes. Many homeowners also wonder how long Roofing installation takes during new construction. In most cases, the physical installation of Roofing materials takes one to three days depending on the size and complexity of the home. A simple roof design with standard shingles may take only a day or two, while larger homes with multiple roof lines or specialty materials may take longer. However, the overall Roofing timeline includes more than the installation days alone. Once homeowners approve the Roofing selection in BuilderTrend, Kimball Construction orders the materials from suppliers. Ordering and delivery typically require several days to a couple of weeks depending on availability. After materials arrive, the Roofing crew schedules the installation based on weather conditions and project timing. Once Roofing is installed, the house becomes weather-tight. This milestone allows interior rough-ins to continue safely. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems can proceed without exposure to moisture, which keeps the construction timeline moving efficiently. Because of this, Roofing serves as one of the key turning points during the building process. ### Frequently Asked Questions ### When do homeowners choose Roofing for a new home? #### Answer Homeowners usually choose Roofing during the design and selection phase before framing begins.

Understanding how Roofing fits into the larger construction timeline helps homeowners feel prepared and excited as their new home takes shape from framing to the final finishing touches. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [What To Expect: Selecting And Installation of Doors and Windows](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-selecting-and-installation-of-doors-and-windows/) **Published:** December 10, 2024 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** When people plan new construction homes, they quickly learn that doors and windows shape how the home looks, feels, and performs. In fact, doors and windows guide light, airflow, safety, and daily comfort. Because doors and windows connect indoor and outdoor spaces, they influence both the style and the function of a house. Therefore, careful planning matters from the very beginning. Kimball Construction helps homeowners choose doors and windows that fit the design of the home while also supporting energy efficiency and long-term durability. As a result, families enjoy homes that feel bright, secure, and comfortable from the first day they move in. During the planning stage of new construction homes, homeowners often imagine how sunlight will move through their living room, kitchen, and bedrooms. Doors and windows make that vision possible. For example, large windows bring natural light into open living spaces, while well-placed exterior doors connect patios, backyards, and entryways. In addition, modern doors and windows help regulate temperature and reduce outside noise. Because of these benefits, homeowners should treat doors and windows as key design elements instead of simple construction details. Kimball Construction works closely with homeowners to guide the selection of doors and windows throughout the building process. First, the team reviews architectural plans and discusses how doors and windows will affect daily living. Next, homeowners explore style options, materials, and sizes that match the layout of the home. Meanwhile, the builder also checks energy performance ratings and durability standards. As a result, each home receives doors and windows that balance appearance with performance. Most new construction homes include several types of doors and windows. Entry doors create the first impression of the house. Interior doors define private areas like bedrooms and bathrooms. Meanwhile, windows allow sunlight to travel through the home during the day. Sliding doors or patio doors also extend living spaces outdoors. Because every opening affects the structure of the home, Kimball Construction reviews each location carefully before ordering the doors and windows. Materials also play an important role in how doors and windows perform over time. For instance, wood doors offer a classic look and strong insulation. Fiberglass doors resist moisture and temperature changes. Vinyl windows often provide strong energy performance with minimal maintenance. Aluminum frames deliver a sleek appearance and structural strength. Therefore, homeowners often choose materials based on climate, maintenance preferences, and architectural style. The selection process for doors and windows usually begins with standard options inside Buildertrend. Kimball Construction provides a curated list of reliable door and window products that work well in most new construction homes. Because these products already meet quality and design standards, homeowners can make decisions quickly and confidently. In addition, the Buildertrend list keeps the building schedule moving forward. However, some homeowners want unique doors and windows that reflect a personal design style. In that case, Kimball Construction encourages homeowners to explore local suppliers such as Lowe’s, Home Depot, or specialty window retailers. Homeowners can research designs, compare features, and review pricing. Then the Kimball Construction team reviews the selections to ensure the doors and windows match the structural plans and building specifications. Once homeowners finalize their doors and windows, the ordering process begins. Kimball Construction carefully confirms all measurements and product specifications before placing orders with trusted vendors. This step prevents delays and ensures the doors and windows arrive ready for installation. Because new construction homes rely on precise scheduling, accurate ordering keeps the project moving smoothly. Installation of doors and windows takes place during the middle stages of construction. By this time, the framing of the house already defines the openings where doors and windows will sit. Therefore, installers can place each unit into a prepared frame. Kimball Construction schedules this stage carefully so crews can complete the work efficiently while protecting the interior structure of the home. Before installation begins, the team inspects each framed opening. Proper framing ensures that doors and windows sit level and operate smoothly. If the crew finds any uneven surfaces or framing issues, they correct them before placing the units. Because careful preparation prevents future problems, this inspection step remains critical. Next, installers position each door or window within the opening. They adjust the unit carefully until it sits level and square. Meanwhile, they confirm that each window opens smoothly and that each door swings correctly. Once the fit looks correct, the installers secure the unit in place. After positioning the unit, the crew seals and insulates the surrounding area. They often use manufacturer-approved materials such as OSI Quad sealant and DuPont Tyvek weather barriers. These materials block moisture and air leaks while also protecting the structure of the home. As a result, properly sealed doors and windows help maintain consistent indoor temperatures. Finally, installers complete the finishing details. They apply trim, caulking, and protective flashing around the doors and windows. These final touches improve appearance while also protecting the home from water intrusion. When the installation ends, Kimball Construction performs a full inspection to confirm that each door and window meets manufacturer standards and internal quality guidelines. Because new construction homes contain many windows and exterior doors, installation usually takes several days. Kimball Construction typically installs ten to fifteen windows per day, depending on size and location. A standard door installation often requires two to three hours. However, homes with complex layouts or multi-story designs may require additional time. During the planning phase, the project manager provides a clear timeline so homeowners know when doors and windows will arrive and when crews will install them. Throughout the entire process, Kimball Construction coordinates deliveries, installation schedules, and inspections. This organized approach reduces stress for homeowners. Instead of managing several subcontractors, homeowners work with one experienced general contractor who oversees every step. Therefore, the project stays organized from selection through final inspection. Well-designed doors and windows also improve energy efficiency in new construction homes. Modern window technology includes dual-pane glass, insulated frames, and Low-E coatings. These features reduce heat loss in winter and limit solar heat gain in summer. As a result, homeowners often see lower heating and cooling costs. Energy-efficient doors also use insulated cores and tight weather seals that prevent drafts. Because energy performance matters so much, Kimball Construction recommends doors and windows that meet or exceed ENERGY STAR standards whenever possible. These ratings help homeowners compare products and understand long-term efficiency benefits. Homeowners can also learn more about energy standards at . In addition, thoughtful window placement improves the comfort of new construction homes. For example, south-facing windows often capture natural sunlight during colder months. Meanwhile, shaded windows help control heat during the summer. Kimball Construction works with designers and homeowners to plan window placement that supports both comfort and efficiency. Doors and windows also shape how families experience everyday life inside their homes. A bright kitchen window can turn morning coffee into a peaceful routine. A sliding glass door can connect indoor living areas with backyard gatherings. Meanwhile, well-placed bedroom windows provide fresh air and natural light. Because these daily moments matter, careful planning of doors and windows helps create homes that feel welcoming and livable. Homeowners who want to explore the overall home building process can also review additional resources from Kimball Construction, such as their [guide to the home building](https://kimballconstruction.com/building-guides/ "Building Guides – What to Expect and Key Resources for Your New Home"). These internal resources explain how doors and windows fit into the larger construction timeline. ### Frequently Asked Questions About Doors and Windows in New Construction Homes #### How do I read door and window sizes on construction plans? Construction plans usually list door and window sizes in feet and inches. For example, a window labeled 3050 measures three feet wide and five feet tall. Plans may also include operation symbols such as XO for sliding windows or CAS for casement windows. Kimball Construction reviews these schedules with homeowners so they understand how each opening will function in their home. #### When should homeowners choose doors and windows during construction? Homeowners usually select doors and windows early in the planning phase. Early decisions help Kimball Construction place orders before framing reaches completion. Because manufacturing and delivery may take several weeks, early selection keeps the project schedule on track. #### Do modern doors and windows reduce energy costs in homes? Yes. Energy-efficient doors and windows improve insulation and reduce heat transfer. Dual-pane glass, Low-E coatings, and insulated frames all help maintain indoor temperatures. As a result, many homeowners experience lower heating and cooling bills. #### What does a window U-value mean for doors and windows? A U-value measures how well a window prevents heat transfer. Lower U-values indicate better insulation performance. Kimball Construction recommends doors and windows with strong energy ratings that match the local climate and ENERGY STAR guidelines. #### Can homeowners mix different window styles in one home? Yes, and many homeowners do. Designers often combine fixed windows, casement windows, and awning windows to balance style and airflow. Kimball Construction helps homeowners select combinations that complement the architecture of their new construction homes. #### How should homeowners maintain new doors and windows? Homeowners should clean glass regularly and check seals and hardware each year. They should also lubricate hinges and tracks when needed.

Change Orders allow homeowners to refine details, adjust selections, and improve their new construction home as the vision becomes clearer. At Kimball Construction, we process Change Orders in a structured and transparent way so you always understand cost, schedule, and scope. Because building a home involves hundreds of decisions, Change Orders often help align the final product with your goals. Therefore, understanding how Change Orders work will help you move forward with confidence. From the first foundation pour to the final walkthrough, your new home evolves from drawings into reality. As a result, questions arise, ideas improve, and preferences sharpen. Although we plan thoroughly before construction begins, Change Orders sometimes become necessary when conditions, materials, preferences, or regulatory requirements shift. However, when handled correctly, Change Orders strengthen the outcome instead of disrupting it. In many cases, Change Orders reflect thoughtful upgrades. For example, you may decide to install larger windows in the great room, adjust cabinet layouts, or select a different exterior finish. Because new construction homes move through clear stages, timing matters. Therefore, we encourage early decisions whenever possible. If you would like to understand the broader building process, you can also review What to Expect: From Contract to Construction on our website. Change Orders are formal written modifications to your construction contract. Specifically, a Change Order adjusts the scope of work, price, schedule, or materials in your new home. Instead of relying on informal conversations, Kimball Construction documents each Change Order clearly so both parties stay aligned. As a result, you receive transparency and legal clarity. A Change Order typically includes a detailed description of the change, the cost increase or decrease, and any impact on the project timeline. In addition, it references the original plans so everyone understands exactly what changes. Because we build new construction homes from approved drawings, even small adjustments can affect framing, mechanical layouts, or inspections. Therefore, we treat every Change Order seriously. We process Change Orders as soon as a change becomes defined and priced. However, timing depends on where your home stands in the schedule. For instance, if framing has not started, structural adjustments move quickly. Conversely, if we already installed drywall, changes behind walls require more labor and time. As a result, earlier decisions reduce cost and delay. When you request a modification, Kimball Construction first evaluates feasibility. Next, we confirm structural integrity, code compliance, and engineering requirements if necessary. Then, we gather pricing from trade partners and suppliers. After that, we prepare the Change Order for review. Because new construction follows sequencing, we also evaluate how the modification affects downstream work. We present Change Orders inside BuilderTrend for final approval. Through BuilderTrend, you can review the description, pricing breakdown, and schedule impact in one organized location. Then, you approve the Change Order digitally. As a result, both parties maintain a documented record, and the project moves forward efficiently. We do not begin changed work until you provide written approval in BuilderTrend. Therefore, you always control your budget decisions. Homeowners most often request Change Orders. For example, you may adjust flooring selections, upgrade appliances, or modify built-ins. However, sometimes Kimball Construction initiates a Change Order. If site conditions differ from what we anticipated, if material availability requires substitution, or if coordination between trades demands clarification, we document the adjustment formally. In addition, regulatory authorities, such as the local building department, may require plan modifications to meet code requirements or inspection standards. When that occurs, we issue a Change Order to clearly document the required change, its cost impact, and any schedule adjustment. Therefore, Change Orders protect both you and Kimball Construction by ensuring full transparency when outside authorities mandate updates. Because new construction homes rely on coordination between trades, even a small change can create dependency effects. For instance, moving a wall affects framing, electrical, plumbing, drywall, trim, paint, and sometimes flooring. Consequently, one modification can shift multiple downstream tasks. We analyze these impacts before presenting the Change Order so you understand the ripple effect. The time required to complete a Change Order varies. If the change involves a simple product substitution before installation, we may complete it within days. However, structural or layout changes often extend the schedule. Additionally, regulatory revisions required by inspectors may pause progress until updated approvals are secured. Therefore, we always communicate both cost and schedule adjustments before proceeding. Although Change Orders can increase the contract price, they sometimes reduce it. For example, if you remove a feature before we order materials, the Change Order may reflect a credit. However, once materials ship or installation begins, cost reductions become less likely. As a result, timely communication helps preserve flexibility. Throughout construction, we encourage proactive discussions. If you feel uncertain about a decision, raise it early. Because new construction homes move stage by stage, earlier adjustments create fewer disruptions. Therefore, communication remains the key to successful Change Orders. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### What are Change Orders in new construction homes? Change Orders are written modifications to your construction contract that adjust scope, cost, materials, or timeline. Kimball Construction documents and prices each Change Order before proceeding. #### Who can require Change Orders? Homeowners commonly request Change Orders. However, Kimball Construction may initiate one due to site conditions, coordination needs, or material substitutions. In addition, regulatory authorities such as the building department may require changes to meet code or inspection standards. #### When should I request Change Orders? You should request Change Orders as early as possible. Earlier requests reduce labor impacts, material waste, and scheduling delays. #### How do I approve Change Orders? Kimball Construction presents Change Orders inside BuilderTrend.

At Kimball Construction, we want you to feel confident, informed, and in control throughout the building process. One of the most popular and homeowner-friendly options we offer is the **Cost-Plus Fixed Fee Contract**. This contract structure provides clarity and flexibility, helping you understand where your money is going while allowing adjustments along the way. Whether you’re building your dream home from scratch or selecting a lot to get started, knowing what to expect from this agreement is essential. ### What is a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee Contract? A **Cost-Plus Fixed Fee Contract** is an agreement between you and Kimball Construction where you pay for the actual cost of building your home—like materials, labor, and permits—plus a set fee that covers the builder’s overhead and profit. ### Key Components of a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee Contract - **Actual Costs:** Includes all job-related expenses. - **Fixed Fee:** A predetermined amount paid to the contractor. - **Open Book Accounting:** You’ll see where every dollar goes. - **Adjustability:** Design and material changes are easier to accommodate. This structure is often favored because it ensures full transparency and open communication between you and your builder. You’ll never be in the dark about costs. ### Benefits of Transparency and Flexibility - You know how funds are allocated. - You can make informed choices about upgrades. - There’s less risk of surprise charges. - You benefit from a strong partnership with your builder. ### When Should You Choose a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee Contract? Choosing this type of contract makes sense in several scenarios—especially with custom new home builds. Here’s when it shines: - **If plans are not finalized:** You need the freedom to make changes as you go. - **If material or labor costs are fluctuating:** Avoid inflated estimates in fixed-price bids. - **If you want to handpick finishes and appliances:** This contract allows flexibility in selections and budget adjustments. Kimball Construction guides homeowners through each stage, making this contract a reliable option when personalization and flexibility matter most. ### How is a Cost-Plus Fixed Fee Contract Different From a Fixed Bid Contract? While both contracts get your home built, they operate very differently. #### Cost Plus Fixed Fee vs. Fixed Bid Contracts **Aspect****Cost-Plus Fixed Fee****Fixed Bid Contract**PricingActual costs + fixed feeOne lump sum priceTransparencyFull visibility into costsLimited cost breakdownFlexibilityEasier change processLonger change processBuilder ProfitFixed feeHidden within lump sumRiskShared with ownerTaken on by builder### How is a Cost Plus Fixed Fee Contract Different from a Cost Plus Percentage (Time and Material) Contract? While both contracts fall under the “cost plus” category, their structure and incentives are significantly different. #### Cost Plus Fixed Fee vs. Cost Plus Percentage Contracts **Feature****Cost Plus Fixed Fee****Cost Plus Percentage (Time & Material)**Builder’s CompensationFixed amount agreed upfrontPercentage of total project costIncentive AlignmentBuilder focuses on quality and efficiencyBuilder may benefit from increased spendingCost PredictabilityMore stable due to fixed builder feeLess predictable; builder profit grows with costTransparencyDetailed expense trackingDetailed tracking but potentially conflicted incentiveAt **Kimball Construction**, we exclusively use the **Cost Plus Fixed Fee Contract**—and here’s why: Unlike some other builders who use cost plus percentage contracts, we believe this model misaligns incentives. If a builder earns more as the total project cost increases, there’s less motivation to find savings or manage budgets tightly. With a **Cost Plus Fixed Fee Contract**, our only incentive is to deliver the highest-quality home while staying within budget. Our reputation depends on transparency, trust, and doing what’s right for our clients—not maximizing profits at your expense. This approach reinforces our commitment to treating every home as if it were our own. ### Who Prepares the Cost-Plus Fixed Fee Contract?

The answer lies in a concept known as the **Iron Triangle**. This long-standing principle from project management describes the balance between **cost, time, and quality**. In **new home construction**, these three factors constantly influence one another, shaping how a project moves from blueprint to finished home. Whether you’re building your first house or your second, understanding the **Iron Triangle** helps set realistic expectations and allows for smoother collaboration with your general contractor, such as **Kimball Construction**. The **Iron Triangle** suggests you can prioritize only two of the three elements—cost, time, and quality—while the third will naturally be affected. For example, if a homeowner wants the highest-quality materials and the fastest completion time, the cost will rise. Conversely, if the goal is to save money and maintain excellent quality, the process will take longer. These trade-offs aren’t flaws; they’re a natural part of managing complex projects like **building a new home**. In construction, the **Iron Triangle** shows up in very real ways. When homeowners request upgrades like premium flooring, energy-efficient windows, or custom cabinetry, those decisions influence both time and cost. Material lead times can extend project schedules, and specialized installations may require additional skilled labor. Understanding these connections early helps prevent frustration later. **Kimball Construction** communicates these relationships clearly so homeowners can make informed choices and keep their projects aligned with their priorities. Unlike other industries, **homebuilding** involves many unpredictable variables. Weather, permitting delays, supply-chain issues, and unique site conditions can all disrupt the original plan. Because of this, the **Iron Triangle** becomes even more dynamic than in fields like software or manufacturing. A change in one corner of the triangle—say, rising material costs—forces adjustments in schedule or quality expectations to maintain balance. Managing these shifts requires foresight, experience, and consistent communication, qualities that define how **Kimball Construction** approaches each new build. **Kimball Construction** manages the **Iron Triangle** effectively by setting clear expectations from the start. During planning, homeowners are guided through **budgeting**, **scheduling**, and **quality standards**. This transparency reduces surprises and builds a shared understanding of priorities. For example, if completing a home before a firm move-in date is nonnegotiable, the project manager can suggest time-saving options such as selecting materials with shorter lead times or finalizing design choices early. Regular progress meetings and open communication also help homeowners see how their decisions impact cost, time, and quality. If someone decides mid-project to upgrade to a more custom design element, **Kimball Construction** ensures they understand how that affects the budget and schedule. This proactive management approach keeps the **Iron Triangle** balanced, even when plans evolve. Every home is unique—built on different land, under changing conditions, and often customized to the owner’s preferences. Because of that, the **Iron Triangle** in **homebuilding** is less about strict control and more about adaptability. A project’s success depends on teamwork, trust, and the willingness to make trade-offs as conditions change. **Kimball Construction** treats each home as a living project, where flexibility and communication keep the **Iron Triangle** in balance. Ultimately, understanding the **Iron Triangle** benefits homeowners as much as builders. When you know how **cost, time, and quality** interact, you can make smarter decisions throughout the **construction process**. By viewing your home through this framework, you’ll better appreciate the craftsmanship, coordination, and problem-solving that turn a vision into a place to live. For more insights on building your new home, visit our [What to Expect](buildinghttps://kimballconstruction.com/building-guides/) section. ### Frequently Asked Questions **What does the Iron Triangle mean in home construction?** The Iron Triangle represents the relationship between cost, time, and quality in a construction project. Adjusting one factor inevitably influences the others. **Can all three parts of the Iron Triangle be optimized equally?** Not typically. You can usually prioritize two—like high quality and fast completion—but the third, such as cost, may need to adjust accordingly. **How does Kimball Construction handle unexpected changes?** Through proactive planning and communication. When changes arise, the project team discusses how they affect the overall Iron Triangle and adjusts plans to maintain balance. **Why does weather affect the Iron Triangle?** Weather delays impact the time side of the triangle, potentially increasing costs or affecting material quality if not managed carefully. **What can homeowners do to help maintain balance in the Iron Triangle?** Clear communication and timely decisions help. Being flexible with certain aspects, like finishes or timelines, also keeps the project on track. **How is the Iron Triangle different in new home construction versus renovations?** New construction allows for more control over variables like structure and materials, while renovations must adapt to existing conditions, making the triangle more complex. ### Conclusion The Iron Triangle in construction isn’t a problem to solve—it’s a framework to guide expectations. By recognizing how cost, time, and quality influence each other, homeowners and builders can work together more effectively. Kimball Construction’s approach to managing this balance emphasizes transparency, adaptability, and respect for the homeowner’s vision. Building a new home is one of life’s most rewarding projects, and with a solid understanding of the Iron Triangle, you’ll navigate it with confidence and clarity.

This step adds character and polish, helping transform your construction project into a warm, livable home. It’s not just about choosing colors—it’s a coordinated effort that involves preparation, communication, and craftsmanship. From start to finish, the selecting and installation of paint is a process that reflects your style while ensuring professional execution. Before the brushes ever touch a wall, painting begins behind the scenes. The process includes much more than applying color to drywall. For interior painting, the painter handles tasks like interior caulking, sanding, and applying wood filler—each of which is essential to ensure walls, ceilings, and trim are smooth and fully prepped. These finishing touches are key to delivering a high-end result that feels polished and complete. On the other hand, for exterior painting, the process is more streamlined. The painter focuses strictly on painting the siding and other exterior surfaces. There’s no caulking, sanding, or wood filling for the outside—just a clean application of the selected exterior paint color. An important part of this process is selecting the appropriate paint sheen for different areas of the home. Kimball Construction recommends using eggshell sheens on interior walls because they strike a perfect balance between a soft, matte look and the ability to clean minor scuffs and marks. For interior trim—such as baseboards, doors, and window casings—semi-gloss sheens are preferred due to their durability and subtle shine, which helps highlight architectural details. On the outside of your home, satin sheens are ideal for both trim and siding. This finish offers weather resistance and just enough gloss to enrich the home’s exterior appearance without being overly reflective. The timing of paint color selection usually occurs after drywall installation and just before painting begins. This allows homeowners to visualize their space a bit better, even before it’s fully painted. At this point, Kimball Construction provides access to BuilderTrend, the project management platform used throughout your new construction journey. All your paint color options and other design selections will be available there for review and approval. To help homeowners feel more confident, Kimball Construction encourages exploring other stores if you’d like additional inspiration. Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, and PPG Paints are all excellent places to browse color palettes, compare finishes, and see samples in person. Once you’re ready, you simply make your choices in BuilderTrend, and Kimball Construction will take it from there. The team ensures your selected paint colors and sheens are ready for installation exactly when they’re needed. Once selections are locked in, it’s time for installation. The first phase involves painting the interior walls and ceilings. This gives the home its first real pop of color and brings the overall design together. Once this phase is completed, Kimball Construction moves on to installing all of the interior trim, electrical fixtures, plumbing components, tile, and other finishes. After all of that work is done, the painter returns to finish painting the trim. This two-phase approach ensures that everything remains clean and undamaged while other installations take place. The actual installation of paint is handled by Kimball Construction’s trusted trade partners. These professionals specialize in residential painting and have years of experience working on new construction homes. By focusing on consistency and precision, they ensure your home looks cohesive throughout. Whether it’s a bold accent wall or a calm, neutral palette, the results are polished and uniform. You might be wondering how long painting takes. Typically, the painting phase of a new home lasts several days to a week, depending on the size of the home and complexity of the colors. Larger homes or those with more detailed trim work may take a bit longer. However, rest assured that Kimball Construction schedules this work efficiently, ensuring it fits seamlessly into the construction timeline. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### When can I choose my paint colors? You’ll select your paint colors after drywall is installed, and your choices will be reviewed and approved through BuilderTrend. #### Can I visit a paint store to pick my own colors? Absolutely! While Kimball Construction offers standard selections, you’re welcome to explore stores like Sherwin-Williams, Behr, or Benjamin Moore for additional inspiration. #### Is touch-up painting included? Yes, touch-ups are included and typically done near the end of the construction process to address any minor marks or imperfections. #### What type of paint does Kimball Construction use? Kimball Construction uses high-quality interior and exterior paints that are durable, low-VOC, and selected for long-lasting finishes. Interior walls are typically finished in eggshell, interior trim in semi-gloss, and exterior surfaces in satin sheen. #### Can I change my color choice after making a selection? Changes can be made before painting begins, but after that point, additional fees and delays may apply. It’s important to finalize selections in BuilderTrend early. #### Will I be able to see a sample in my home before the full painting starts? In most cases, yes. Painters often apply small swatches on the wall for you to review before completing the full space. In the end, selecting and installation of paint is one of the most exciting chapters in building a home. It brings warmth, style, and personality to each room. Kimball Construction walks you through every step, from prepping the walls to final touch-ups, ensuring the colors you’ve chosen come to life beautifully. With a bit of planning, a splash of creativity, and help from experienced pros, your home’s new look will be everything you hoped for—and more. #### Can I have different paint colors in different rooms? Unless noted otherwise in your contract, your new construction home with Kimball Construction includes one color for interior walls, one color for interior trim, and one color for ceilings throughout the home. For the exterior, the standard includes one color for siding (body), one color for exterior trim, and one color for exterior doors. If you’d like to have different paint colors in different rooms or on individual walls, this may be possible, but please note: the painter may charge an additional fee for custom color layouts. These requests typically require more time, materials, and coordination. Be sure to communicate with your Kimball Construction project manager early in the process if you’re interested in customizing your paint scheme beyond the standard package. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [What To Expect: Foundations and Concrete Slabs](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-foundation-and-concrete-slabs/) **Published:** January 29, 2025 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** When building a new home, one of the most important and exciting milestones is understanding what to expect: foundations and concrete slabs. This early phase lays the groundwork—quite literally—for the structure that will become your family’s home for generations. With Kimball Construction leading the way, you’ll gain peace of mind knowing this critical step is handled with expertise and precision. Foundations and concrete slabs are vital to the strength, safety, and longevity of any home. They’re the literal base that supports every wall, every room, and every roofline. As your build begins, these are typically installed after the land has been cleared and excavation is complete. The process includes site preparation, soil testing, setting up wooden forms, installing steel reinforcement, and finally, pouring the concrete. Once poured, the slab begins to cure, gaining the strength needed to hold up your house for decades to come. Part of what to expect: foundations and concrete slabs includes knowing your options. At Kimball Construction, we often work with two main types: **stem wall foundations** and **slab-on-grade foundations**. **Stem wall foundations** are ideal for properties with hills or slopes. They involve a poured concrete footing with short concrete walls rising above ground level. This style creates a large crawl space underneath the home, making it easier to access plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems later. It’s also excellent for keeping moisture and pests at bay in certain terrain. In contrast, **slab-on-grade foundations** are poured directly onto a flat, level surface. This option works best on flat lots and is popular due to its cost-efficiency, lower excavation needs, and minimal maintenance. With no crawl space, there’s less room for pests to nest or for moisture to accumulate. It also creates a tight seal between the interior of the home and the ground below, which improves energy efficiency. Another major part of what to expect: foundations and concrete slabs is **timing**. Typically, foundations are scheduled early in the construction timeline. However, the entire process—including excavation, form setup, and inspections—can take a few weeks. Concrete usually cures enough for further building in a few days, but full strength is achieved after about 28 days. It’s important to allow this time for proper curing, which prevents future cracking and settling. Ordering concrete and coordinating trades for rough-in plumbing and electrical work must also be carefully timed. At Kimball Construction, we manage this orchestration with attention to detail and frequent communication, ensuring the foundation stage supports the full schedule of the home build. Finally, while the foundation is completed early, **outdoor concrete slabs like driveways and patios** are poured near the end of the construction project. This prevents unnecessary damage from heavy machinery and high foot traffic during the main construction phases. ### Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What is the purpose of a foundation in home construction?** A foundation provides a stable base for the home, distributing the structure’s weight evenly and preventing settling or shifting over time. **Q: How long does it take for a concrete slab to cure properly?** Typically, a concrete slab requires about 28 days to cure fully, although it can support weight after a few days. **Q: Can I customize the type of foundation for my home?** Yes, the choice of foundation depends on various factors, including soil type, climate, and personal preferences. Kimball Construction can guide you through the options suitable for your specific needs. **Q: Are there maintenance requirements for concrete slabs?** While concrete slabs are durable, it’s advisable to inspect them periodically for cracks or signs of moisture intrusion and address any issues promptly. **Q: What factors influence the cost of foundation installation?** Costs can vary based on the foundation type, soil conditions, labor, and materials. Kimball Construction provides detailed estimates to help you plan accordingly. **Q: How does weather impact the foundation installation process?** Adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rain or extreme temperatures, can delay the curing process and affect scheduling. We monitor forecasts closely to mitigate potential delays. **Q: When are outdoor slabs like patios and driveways poured?** Outdoor slabs such as patios, walkways, and driveways are typically poured near the end of the construction project. This timing helps prevent them from being damaged by heavy equipment or construction traffic during the earlier phases of the build. **Q: Are foundation inspections only about structural integrity?** No. Inspectors also confirm that the foundation is located properly on the lot and complies with property lines and setback rules. Ensuring it aligns with the site plan is just as important as checking for strength and durability. In conclusion, knowing what to expect: foundations and concrete slabs empowers you to make informed decisions about your new home. From selecting the right type of foundation for your land to coordinating the perfect time for pouring patios and driveways, Kimball Construction brings experience, transparency, and craftsmanship to every project. With a solid foundation in place, you can build a future filled with comfort, safety, and lasting value.

As you move through the stages of design and construction, one key part of the process that often raises questions is working with subcontractors. At Kimball Construction, we understand that our clients value craftsmanship, transparency, and reliability. That’s why we’re committed to helping you understand how subcontractors play a role in delivering the home you’ve envisioned. Subcontractors are skilled specialists hired to complete specific components of the homebuilding process. Instead of handling every task with a single crew, Kimball Construction partners with experts in fields like electrical, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, and framing to ensure the highest standards are met at every step. Because each subcontractor focuses solely on their trade, they bring efficiency, deep expertise, and precision that a generalist team could rarely match. Subcontractors are not an afterthought—they’re part of the planning process from the start. As soon as architectural plans are finalized, we coordinate with the necessary trades to align timelines and material requirements. By involving them early, we prevent delays, resolve logistical challenges ahead of time, and ensure that everyone is working from the same playbook. This proactive approach creates a better, smoother experience for you and keeps your home’s construction on schedule. Our process for selecting subcontractors is rigorous. We don’t just hire based on availability or low bids. Instead, we look for licensed professionals who consistently deliver high-quality results and maintain strong reputations. Every subcontractor we bring onto a Kimball Construction site is thoroughly vetted—reviewed for insurance, past work quality, safety record, and reliability. Many of our subcontractors have worked with us for years, earning our trust and confidence across dozens of successful home builds. These subcontractors include a wide range of professionals. Electricians install wiring and fixtures, while plumbers lay out and connect pipes and drainage systems. Carpenters construct frames, doors, and trims. HVAC teams manage the heating, cooling, and ventilation systems. Roofers, masons, drywall experts, and painters each contribute their own critical layer to your future home. Together, they create a finished product that reflects not only your vision but the high standards we promise at Kimball Construction. But who keeps everything on track? That’s where our project managers come in. At Kimball Construction, we take full responsibility for coordinating every subcontractor’s schedule, monitoring their work, and inspecting their progress. Our team ensures that each phase transitions smoothly into the next, avoiding conflicts, correcting mistakes early, and maintaining a consistent level of quality throughout the build. We’re also ready to take decisive action if something doesn’t go as planned. Although rare, issues can arise, and when they do, we don’t let them slide. If a subcontractor’s performance falls short, we intervene quickly—starting with clear communication and corrective steps. If necessary, we are prepared to escalate the matter and replace the subcontractor to keep your project on track. ### Frequently Asked Questions **What is the benefit of using subcontractors in home construction?** Subcontractors bring specialized skills and expertise to specific aspects of home construction, ensuring high-quality workmanship and efficiency in completing tasks. **How does Kimball Construction ensure subcontractor quality?** We conduct a rigorous selection process, verifying credentials, experience, and past project success to ensure subcontractors meet our standards. **Can I choose my own subcontractors for the project?** While we have a trusted network of professionals, we are open to discussing your preferences and evaluating any subcontractors you suggest. **How are subcontractor schedules coordinated?** Our project managers develop a comprehensive timeline, coordinating with all subcontractors to ensure seamless integration of their work into the overall schedule. **What happens if a subcontractor’s work is unsatisfactory?** We address any issues immediately, working directly with the subcontractor to rectify problems and ensure the work meets our high-quality standards. **What if there is a dispute with a subcontractor?** In rare cases where a subcontractor fails to meet Kimball Construction’s expectations or contractual obligations, we take swift action. Kimball will issue formal legal notices, pursue claims if necessary, and, if the subcontractor does not correct the problem, we will engage alternative professionals to maintain project quality and keep your home on schedule. **Are subcontractors insured and licensed?** Yes, all subcontractors working with Kimball Construction are required to have appropriate licensing and insurance to protect all parties involved. Building a home is about trust—trust in your contractor, in the process, and in the people doing the work. At Kimball Construction, we aim to earn that trust every day by being transparent, reliable, and committed to excellence. Working with subcontractors doesn’t have to be a mystery. When managed with care, as we do, it becomes a powerful way to bring your vision to life, one expert step at a time. **Categories:** What to Expect --- ### [What To Expect: Selecting and Installation of Plumbing Fixtures](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-selecting-and-installation-of-plumbing-fixtures/) **Published:** March 10, 2025 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** Building a new home is filled with exciting decisions, and one of the most hands-on steps is the selecting and installation of plumbing fixtures. From the faucet in your kitchen sink to the rainfall showerhead in your ensuite, these fixtures are the finishing touches that tie your design together and bring everyday comfort to your home. At Kimball Construction, we guide homeowners through the selecting and installation of plumbing fixtures with a process that is clear, collaborative, and customized. So, what exactly are plumbing fixtures? They’re the visible components of your plumbing system—the sinks, toilets, bathtubs, showers, and faucets that you interact with every day. These are not the hidden pipes in the walls, but the polished hardware and surfaces that define the feel of your bathrooms and kitchen. Plumbing fixtures are among the most visible personal touches in your home, and they deserve thoughtful selection. In most new construction homes, plumbing fixtures are installed in two phases. The first is the rough-in stage, which happens after framing and before drywall. This is when pipes are laid and positions are finalized. The second phase comes much later—typically near the end of the build—when the walls are painted, cabinets are installed, and it’s time for the final trim. This is when sinks are set, toilets are placed, and your selected fixtures are mounted and connected. The selecting and installation of plumbing fixtures starts well before anything is installed. Once you reach the selections phase with Kimball Construction, we present standard fixture packages within **BuilderTrend**, our online construction management platform. Homeowners can log in to review their options, approve items, and even request upgrades. BuilderTrend keeps everything organized and transparent. Of course, we understand that sometimes you want something more specific than the curated options we provide. For inspiration and ideas beyond the standard offerings, many homeowners enjoy browsing stores such as **Ferguson**, **Lowe’s**, **Home Depot**, or even boutique brands like **Rejuvenation** or **Signature Hardware**. If you fall in love with something from one of these sources, just let us know—we’ll help determine if it’s compatible with your home’s plumbing and available within our timeline. Once fixtures are selected and ordered, we factor in both lead times and the construction schedule. Some items can take weeks to arrive, particularly specialty finishes or higher-end products. Therefore, it’s best to finalize fixture selections early. At Kimball Construction, we typically order fixtures shortly after rough-in plumbing is complete, allowing enough time for them to arrive before installation is scheduled. When installation day arrives, licensed plumbers—coordinated by Kimball Construction—handle everything. These professionals install each fixture according to code and manufacturer instructions, ensuring that every component functions properly and looks great. Depending on the size of the house and the complexity of the layout, installation may take a few days to complete. For example, a typical three-bathroom home might take two to three days of work to fully install sinks, showers, toilets, tubs, and faucets. However, ordering and rough-in timing can add weeks before actual installation begins, especially if owners delay finalizing selections. As your general contractor, Kimball Construction manages the entire process, from initial selection to the last drop of water flowing from your new fixtures. Our goal is to make the selecting and installation of plumbing fixtures simple, stress-free, and tailored to your lifestyle. ### Frequently Asked Questions **Do I need to purchase the plumbing fixtures myself?** No. Kimball Construction includes plumbing fixtures in the overall build budget. We present standard options in BuilderTrend, and we handle purchasing unless otherwise discussed. **Can I choose something not listed in BuilderTrend?** Yes. If you find a fixture elsewhere—such as at Ferguson or Rejuvenation—we’ll help confirm compatibility and availability before purchasing. **What happens if a fixture arrives damaged or delayed?** We coordinate with suppliers to resolve these issues as quickly as possible. If there’s a delay, we may suggest a temporary or alternate fixture to keep the project on schedule. **Will the plumber handle all fixture installation?** Yes. All plumbing fixtures are installed by licensed plumbers under Kimball Construction’s supervision. **How far in advance should I finalize my selections?** We recommend finalizing your selections shortly after the framing and rough-in walkthrough. This helps ensure fixtures are ordered early enough to avoid delays. **Are upgrades available?** Definitely. Whether you’re dreaming of a freestanding tub or a matte black kitchen faucet, upgrades can be added through BuilderTrend and priced accordingly. **Are there brands of plumbing fixtures that you don’t recommend?** Yes. While we encourage homeowners to explore different styles and finishes, we do require that all plumbing fixture brands have a local warranty parts supplier. Many online-only brands or imported products may look appealing, but they often lack local support for parts and repairs, which can lead to delays or additional costs down the line. Brands like American Standard, Brizio, Delta, Glacier Bay, Grohe, Hansgrohe, Kohler, Moen, Pfister, and Toto are widely available and have reliable local service networks, making them safe and recommended choices for your new home. **I found a sink I like that has three holes; I want a faucet with one hole. What are my options?** There are several ways to adapt a three-hole sink to a one-hole faucet. You can install a soap dispenser, a side sprayer, or a sink hole plug in the extra holes. Alternatively, some faucets come with a cushion plate (also called an escutcheon) that covers the additional holes for a clean look. Kimball Construction’s plumbing team can help you select the best solution based on your preferences and the overall design. Plumbing fixtures might be small in size, but they play a big role in both function and style. When you build with Kimball Construction, you get the benefit of expert guidance and streamlined communication from start to finish. By planning ahead and making thoughtful selections, you’ll enjoy fixtures that not only meet your needs but elevate your entire home. **Categories:** What to Expect --- ### [What To Expect: Selecting And Installation of Electrical Fixtures](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-selecting-and-installation-of-electrical-fixtures/) **Published:** March 20, 2025 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** Building a new home is an exciting journey filled with countless decisions. Among those, one of the most visually impactful is the selecting and installation of electrical fixtures. While it may seem like a small detail, these choices shape the ambiance, functionality, and overall aesthetic of your space. At Kimball Construction, we aim to guide homeowners through this phase with clarity and confidence, making the process as seamless as possible. Typically, the electrical plan is developed well before construction begins, during the architectural and design phase. This plan outlines switch placements, fixture locations, outlet needs, and any desired smart home features. Once the house is framed and both plumbing and HVAC installations are complete, Kimball Construction schedules a walkthrough with the homeowners and the electrician. This in-person walkthrough gives everyone a chance to review the layout, confirm placements, and make any last-minute changes before proceeding. During this walkthrough, owners can adjust fixture placements based on real-time visibility of the space—whether it’s moving a sconce up slightly or adding an outlet for convenience. Following the walkthrough, all relevant selections and any change orders will be presented in BuilderTrend for final approval. This system ensures full transparency, allows time for review, and keeps all stakeholders on the same page moving forward. So, what are your options? For homeowners working with Kimball Construction, standard fixture packages are typically curated within BuilderTrend. These options are pre-vetted for quality, design consistency, and compatibility with your overall home plan. Yet, if you prefer to explore beyond the standard package, you’re welcome to browse selections from trusted sources like Ferguson, Lamps Plus, Wayfair, or even local lighting showrooms. By doing so, you can match your fixtures perfectly to your personal style and preferences. Whether you’re into sleek modern pendant lights, cozy farmhouse chandeliers, or integrated LED options, the possibilities are vast. Selections are most often made during the design phase but can be finalized a bit later, as long as they’re confirmed before final ordering deadlines. BuilderTrend serves as your hub for tracking everything. Our team uploads available fixtures, and you’ll have time to review them, make notes, and submit final approvals. This ensures clear communication between you and Kimball Construction’s project managers, streamlining the entire workflow. When it comes to the actual installation, the process begins with the rough-in—wiring, junction boxes, and switch locations are set based on the final plan. Once fixtures are delivered and the house moves closer to completion, electricians will return to install each fixture. At this stage, light switches, ceiling fans, bathroom sconces, and other features are mounted and wired into the system. A final walkthrough ensures that every bulb, socket, and dimmer works properly. Kimball Construction uses licensed electricians to install all electrical fixtures. Our tradespeople understand the nuances of new home construction and adhere strictly to safety codes and project timelines. You’ll never have to wonder who’s handling your lighting—our experts manage every step, from wire pulls to final fixture placement. How long does it all take? Typically, the selecting and installation of electrical fixtures spans several weeks. It starts with finalizing selections in BuilderTrend, which can take a few days to a couple of weeks depending on the owner’s response time. Next comes ordering—standard fixtures are ordered in batches, while custom or specialty items may have longer lead times. The rough-in phase occurs once framing is complete, generally taking a few days. Then, after drywall and painting, final installation can happen in about two to three days. The selecting and installation of electrical fixtures is more than just flipping a switch—it’s about crafting the perfect environment for your family’s daily life. The beauty of partnering with Kimball Construction is that every detail, from fixture style to placement height, is handled with thoughtful precision. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### When do I need to finalize my lighting selections? You’ll want to finalize lighting selections shortly after the walkthrough with your builder and electrician, typically once plumbing and HVAC are completed. Selections are reviewed and approved directly in BuilderTrend. #### Can I use my own fixtures? Yes, Kimball Construction allows homeowners to supply their own fixtures, provided they are approved for installation, meet the construction timeline, and are UL listed for safety. Fixtures must also be in good working order upon delivery to the job site. This ensures they meet code requirements and can be safely installed by our licensed electricians. #### What happens if my preferred fixture is on backorder? If a fixture is backordered, we’ll suggest alternatives or adjust the schedule if timing allows. Communication is key, and we’ll work with you to find a solution. #### Can I change my mind after selections are approved? Changes can be made, but they might affect the timeline or budget, especially if ordering has already begun. It’s best to finalize early in the process. #### Are smart lighting systems an option? Absolutely. Smart lighting and integrated home systems can be included during selection. Just let our team know early so we can plan wiring and equipment. #### Why might a wire be covered up by drywall? It’s not uncommon for a drywaller to accidentally cover a wire or electrical box, especially during fast-paced installations. This doesn’t mean anything is missing. Often, these wires are pre-positioned to align with future fixture placements and will be located during the trim-out phase. In many cases, “cut-in boxes” are used. These are electrical boxes that are installed after the drywall is up. Electricians use special tools to locate the hidden wire and install the cut-in box precisely where it’s needed, ensuring everything functions as planned without damaging the wall. #### What options are available for plugs and switches? When it comes to plugs and switches, homeowners have several customization options. Standard homes typically include white devices and white trim plates. However, there are many other choices available if you prefer a different look. You can select from a range of colors like black, almond, gray, or even specialty finishes such as stainless steel. Dimmer switches are also a popular upgrade, allowing you to control the brightness of your lights and create a more comfortable atmosphere. Additionally, decorative or screwless trim plates offer a sleeker, more modern finish. Keep in mind that upgrades beyond the standard white options may involve additional costs. Selections for these can be discussed during your walkthrough and finalized within BuilderTrend. By choosing Kimball Construction for your new home, you’re choosing a team that prioritizes design, function, and your personal vision. The selecting and installation of electrical fixtures might feel daunting at first, but with a clear process, expert support, and accessible tools like BuilderTrend, it becomes a smooth and even enjoyable experience.

After the whirlwind of design choices, move-in day, and getting organized, it’s natural to start thinking about how to protect your investment for the long term. One of the most important resources available to you is your home’s Warranty Coverage. At Kimball Construction, we back our craftsmanship with a warranty designed to give you confidence and peace of mind. Your Warranty Coverage starts on the day you move in. From that moment forward, you’re covered by a one-year warranty for workmanship and materials. This includes many of the details you touch and see every day—paint, flooring, cabinetry, drywall, and similar finishes. These are the things that make a house feel like home, and we want you to enjoy them without worry. In addition, we provide extended protection for major structural components. This ten-year structural warranty gives you added security in knowing your foundation and framing are built to last. Specific terms and covered items are outlined in the documents you received in your contract, and we’re always here to help if you have questions. If something doesn’t seem right, submitting a warranty claim is simple. Visit our [website](https://kimballconstruction.com) or log in to [Buildertrend](https://buildertrend.net) with your original construction credentials. Once logged in, go to the “Project Management” tab, click on “Warranty,” and fill out a claim with a brief description of the issue. Adding photos can help us respond quickly and accurately. After receiving your claim, our team will contact you to schedule an inspection or repair if needed. And if technology ever gives you trouble, feel free to call our office directly at 541.357.7837. We also take a proactive approach. Near the end of your first year, we’ll reach out to schedule a walkthrough to identify any remaining items that might still qualify under your one-year Warranty Coverage. While you can (and should) submit issues as they come up, this checkup ensures we don’t miss anything before that initial coverage ends. We view this as a final touch in our commitment to your satisfaction. ### Warranty Coverage: Frequently Asked Questions #### How do I submit a claim for my Warranty Coverage? You can submit claims online through [kimballconstruction.com](https://kimballconstruction.com) or [buildertrend.net](https://buildertrend.net). Log in, navigate to the “Warranty” section under “Project Management,” and describe the issue. Uploading photos is encouraged. #### What is the difference between the one-year and ten-year Warranty Coverage? The one-year Warranty Coverage covers materials and workmanship, especially cosmetic and functional details. The ten-year portion applies to major structural components and protects against serious structural defects. #### What constitutes an emergency warranty issue? Emergencies include major HVAC failures in extreme weather, active plumbing leaks causing damage, or full power outages not related to a utility failure. If something like this happens, call Kimball Construction immediately at 541.357.7837, and submit your claim online as soon as possible. #### Is regular home maintenance covered by the Warranty Coverage? No, tasks like painting, pest control, caulking, and filter changes are the homeowner’s responsibility. Regular maintenance preserves your home’s condition and ensures it performs as designed. #### Does the Kimball Construction Warranty Coverage transfer if I sell my home? In most cases, the ten-year structural portion may transfer to a new owner, while the one-year coverage typically does not. Refer to your original warranty paperwork or contact us to confirm transfer eligibility. Living in a new home is full of joy, but also questions—especially in the first year. Kimball Construction’s Warranty Coverage ensures you’re not navigating those questions alone. We believe in our homes and in supporting the people who live in them. Reach out through the online portal or give us a call anytime—we’re here for you. **Categories:** Next Step --- ### [What To Expect: Framing](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-framing/) **Published:** April 18, 2025 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** Framing is one of the most exciting stages of building a new home. It’s the point where a once-empty foundation begins to rise, revealing the shape and layout of your future living space. At Kimball Construction, framing marks the moment your vision starts to feel real. Because it transforms floor plans into walls, rooms, and rooflines, it’s easy to see why many homeowners eagerly anticipate this part of the build. So, what is considered framing? It’s the structural skeleton of a house, made from wood or metal, that supports everything else—from drywall to roofing. It includes the floors, walls, ceilings, and roof structures. In other words, framing lays the groundwork for everything that follows in home construction. When it comes to the options for framing, there are a few to consider. Most new construction homes use wood framing because it’s cost-effective, widely available, and easy to work with. There’s also steel framing, which is more common in commercial construction but can sometimes be used in residential builds for its strength and resistance to pests. Still, wood remains the preferred material for most homeowners and builders, and Kimball Construction continues to use high-quality lumber to ensure lasting results. Framing is installed shortly after the foundation is poured and cured. Once the concrete is set and the site has been prepped, the framing team steps in. This happens early in the construction process, usually following site work and utility planning. Once it begins, the shape of the home goes up quickly. The process of installing framing involves a lot of precision and teamwork. First, the crew lays down the floor joists, which support the subfloor. Then, wall panels are assembled and raised, forming the vertical structure of the house. After that, ceiling and roof trusses are installed, completing the basic shape of the home. Each piece is fastened securely, ensuring the house will stand strong through all kinds of weather. Who handles all this? At Kimball Construction, our trusted framing carpenters or qualified subcontractors take the lead. They work closely with the project manager and follow the architectural plans down to the last detail. Every nail and board is placed with care and skill, which gives homeowners peace of mind. With years of experience, our crews know how to handle the tools and timelines efficiently. So, how long does it take to install framing? That depends on the size and complexity of the home. On average, framing a single-family house takes anywhere from two to eight weeks. However, before the first stud goes up, materials must be ordered—which usually takes a few days. At Kimball Construction, we always strive to keep the process smooth and on schedule. We know that clear communication and proper sequencing help prevent delays. That’s why we coordinate every step of the build, from foundation to final finishes. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### How do I know if my home’s framing is up to code? Your local building inspector will review the framing before the next stage of construction begins. Kimball Construction ensures that all structural components meet or exceed code requirements, offering peace of mind for every homeowner. #### Can I walk through my house during the framing stage? Yes, and many homeowners do! It’s the perfect time to visualize room layouts and ask questions. Just coordinate with your Kimball Construction project manager to schedule a safe visit. #### What should I look for when inspecting framing? Look at the quality of materials, the straightness of studs, and the overall layout. While you may not catch every detail, your Kimball Construction team will walk you through key elements and answer your questions. #### Are changes still possible after framing starts? Minor tweaks, like adding blocking for future fixtures, may be possible. However, major changes can cause delays and extra costs. It’s best to finalize your plans before framing begins. #### Does weather impact the framing schedule? It can, especially if there’s heavy rain or snow. However, Kimball Construction works hard to adjust schedules and protect materials to keep progress moving forward. #### Can the wood get wet while framing? Yes, it can. Most framing lumber is treated to handle some exposure to moisture. If rain occurs during framing, the wood can dry out naturally. That said, it’s important to avoid prolonged exposure. Kimball Construction uses weather protection measures when needed to keep materials dry and minimize any delays. #### What happens after framing is done? Once framing passes inspection, rough-in work for plumbing, electrical, and HVAC begins. Then, the next exciting milestone—installing insulation and drywall—is just around the corner. Building a home is a journey filled with milestones, and framing is one of the most memorable. It’s the stage where empty space becomes structure—where dreams start to take shape. With Kimball Construction, you can count on expert craftsmanship, clear timelines, and a team that’s committed to your home every step of the way. Whether you’re following along on site or checking in from afar, this part of your home build will feel like a major leap forward. **Categories:** What to Expect --- ### [What To Expect: Customer Service Process](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-customer-service-process/) **Published:** April 17, 2025 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** ### **Our Commitment to You** At Kimball Construction, we understand that successful projects are built on trust, communication, and shared goals. While our construction contracts and project documentation form the legal foundation of our work together, our true standard is your satisfaction. The following Customer Service Process reflects our values and how we choose to engage with our clients—openly, fairly, and with a focus on solutions. ### **1. Commitment Beyond the Contract** We want to be clear: **Regardless of the terms outlined in your construction contract or project documents, our foremost goal is to meet your expectations.** If you feel that something is not aligned with what you anticipated, we encourage you to raise your concerns immediately. We are committed to listening, understanding, and doing what we can to realign the project to meet your vision. ### **2. Addressing Fixes and Concerns** If something isn’t right, **we want to fix it.** If it seems like we are unwilling to make a correction, adjustment, or repair, please know: **it is almost always a miscommunication—not a refusal.** We ask that you call a **“time out”**—a simple pause in the process so we can regroup, clarify the issue, and create a plan that works for all parties involved. Our goal is not to delay or dismiss but to align and act. ### **3. If You Feel Harmed or Ignored** We understand that construction projects can be stressful and that misunderstandings may arise. If you feel that: - We are ignoring your requests, - We are acting in a way that penalizes you, or - You are being treated unfairly, Please assume **it’s a miscommunication, not an intention.** Again, we invite you to call a **“time out.”** We will stop, listen carefully, and collaboratively reestablish clear communication. Our goal is never to cause harm but to support you. ### **4. If You Decide to Transition Away** In the unlikely event that you no longer wish to continue your project with Kimball Construction, we understand and respect your decision. **We will not obstruct your transition; instead, we will assist you.** This means: - Sharing all relevant documents, - Helping onboard a new contractor if needed, - Ensuring a smooth handoff of any in-progress work. We believe that you are entitled to work with the team you trust most, even if that is not us. **Our priority is your peace of mind.** --- ### **The Time Out Process** At Kimball Construction, we believe that most issues can be resolved through clear, respectful communication. When challenges arise, we encourage you to call a **“time out”**—a pause in the process to realign and work together on a solution. Here’s how our Time Out Process works: #### **1. Time Out Meeting** We begin by scheduling a formal meeting with our project manager or a principal team member. This meeting is held at Kimball Construction’s office—or another calm, neutral location—to allow for a focused, professional conversation. It’s a chance to step away from the job site, share your concerns in a clear and respectful setting, and give us the opportunity to listen carefully. Together, we’ll work toward a resolution that supports continued progress and honors the goals of everyone involved. #### **2. Ask a Friend for Help (if needed)** Sometimes, when we’re not seeing eye to eye, it’s not about right or wrong—it’s just that we communicate differently. In these moments, it can help to **bring in a trusted third party**, like an architect, engineer, or another construction professional we both respect. Think of this person as a mutual “translator”—someone who can help both sides better understand each other and find a path forward. Kimball Construction will gladly cover the cost of this step, and we’ll approach it with openness and teamwork. #### **3. Voluntary Transition Support** If you ultimately decide that you’d prefer to move forward with another contractor, we will fully support that choice. Our role then becomes to help you transition smoothly—sharing documents, coordinating next steps, and ensuring your project continues with as little disruption as possible. --- **Final Word** Kimball Construction was built on the belief that construction should feel collaborative, not combative. **Our only aim is to assist you in achieving your vision, whatever path that may take.** We invite open conversation, honest feedback, and shared responsibility—because we know that’s how the best work gets built. **Thank you for trusting us.** — The Kimball Construction Team **Categories:** What to Expect --- ### [What To Expect: Easements and Setbacks](https://kimballconstruction.com/what-to-expect-easements-and-setbacks/) **Published:** January 6, 2025 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** If you’re building a new home, understanding **Easements and Setbacks** is crucial before the first shovel hits the ground. These legal land-use rules shape how your house fits on your lot. At Kimball Construction, we guide every client through this often-overlooked step because it influences everything from your home’s footprint to your landscaping choices. The process starts early in your homebuilding journey, sometimes even before your designer draws up the first draft. While these terms may sound technical, they serve a practical purpose: ensuring your home respects the legal and physical boundaries of your land. Let’s walk through what **Easements and Setbacks** really mean, how they’re determined, and why they matter for your future home. What exactly are we talking about when we say “Easements” and “Setbacks”? Simply put, an easement gives someone else legal permission to use a portion of your property, usually for utility access, drainage, or pathways. For example, a utility company might have an easement running along the back of your property to maintain water or power lines. Setbacks, on the other hand, define how far your house must be from your property lines. They ensure that your home doesn’t crowd the lot, neighbors, or public roads. These rules are not random—they’re designed to protect your home, your neighbors’ space, and community infrastructure. Ignoring them can halt construction or even lead to expensive legal issues. That’s why Kimball Construction always checks for **Easements and Setbacks** early. So when are these **Easements and Setbacks** established? They’re often in place long before your lot is even cleared. Developers and municipalities determine them during the land planning phase. Once you purchase a lot, these restrictions typically come attached to the deed. However, every project is unique. Sometimes additional easements or special setbacks apply depending on local zoning laws or neighborhood covenants. It’s natural to wonder how these guidelines are set in stone. Typically, a surveyor begins the process by examining your plot and identifying the existing boundaries. Zoning regulations then dictate the required distance between your home and those boundaries. Setbacks vary depending on the size of your lot, the layout of the street, and even natural features like wetlands or hillsides. Easements are layered in based on utility needs or shared access paths. Municipal governments, planning departments, and homeowner associations are usually the ones making these calls. Each city or county has its own zoning ordinances, and they’re the primary authority for **Easements and Setbacks**. If you’re building in a master-planned community, the developer or HOA might add additional layers of rules. That’s where a knowledgeable general contractor like Kimball Construction comes in handy—we help you navigate the fine print. How long does all of this take? The timeline can vary, but determining **Easements and Setbacks** typically happens in the early planning and permitting stages. Once a survey is complete and your plans are submitted, most municipalities take a few weeks to review and approve. At Kimball Construction, we stay on top of this timeline and help push it forward, so your new home stays on schedule. ### Frequently Asked Questions **What happens if I ignore Easements and Setbacks?** Building outside of these boundaries can lead to stop-work orders, fines, or having to demolish part of your home. It’s not worth the risk. **Can Easements and Setbacks change after I buy the land?** In rare cases, yes. Municipalities might revise zoning laws, or new easements may be added. It’s smart to work with a builder who monitors these updates. **Do I need a lawyer to understand my Easements and Setbacks?** Not always. A reliable general contractor like Kimball Construction typically works with surveyors and local officials to ensure everything’s above board. **Will Easements affect my ability to install a fence or pool?** Possibly. You usually can’t build permanent structures over easements. Always consult your site plan first. **Can I request a variance to build within a setback?** Yes, but it involves an application process with your city or county. Approval isn’t guaranteed. **Are these rules the same everywhere?** No. Easements and Setbacks vary by location. Even two neighboring lots might have different restrictions based on layout or zoning. ### Conclusion Easements and Setbacks might seem like fine print, but they play a major role in shaping your future home. Understanding them from the start helps you avoid surprises and keeps your build moving smoothly. At Kimball Construction, we prioritize these details because they lay the foundation—literally—for a well-planned and worry-free project.

This step significantly shapes the look and feel of your interior spaces. At Kimball Construction, we walk homeowners through each detail, making sure every decision reflects your preferences and lifestyle. Understanding what to expect ensures fewer surprises and more confidence throughout the build. ### What options are available with drywall? Drywall comes in several types tailored to specific needs. Standard drywall suits most interior spaces, while moisture- and fire-resistant varieties work better in bathrooms and utility areas. Soundproofing drywall is also available for added comfort in bedrooms or home offices. You can also choose different wall textures like orange peel, knockdown, or smooth, each offering a unique aesthetic. Additionally, corner styles such as square or bullnose provide subtle design variation. Drywall finishes range from Level 1 (basic) to Level 7 (premium). Levels 3 and 4 are most common in new homes and provide a clean, smooth surface. Higher-end finishes, like Levels 5 through 7, are ideal for well-lit areas or glossy paint and involve more labor and cost. Kimball Construction provides samples and guides you through each selection to ensure it complements your interior vision. ### When is drywall installed? Drywall installation typically happens after framing, plumbing, and electrical rough-ins are complete and inspected. At this stage, the home begins to look more like the finished product. Once the insulation is in place and windows and exterior doors are installed, the house becomes a sealed environment. This condition is ideal for drywall installation because it reduces moisture problems and ensures proper curing. ### How is the drywall finish selected? Kimball Construction presents all drywall finish selections to homeowners through **BuilderTrend**, our streamlined project management tool. There, you can review, approve, or request changes. Rather than selecting a finish level blindly, you’ll be guided based on your home’s design, lighting, and intended paint type. Our team explains the pros and cons of each finish level and helps match your selections to your budget and expectations. By offering expert recommendations and real samples, we ensure your final decision aligns with your overall vision for the home. ### How is drywall installed? Drywall installation is a detailed process. First, technicians measure and cut sheets to fit the wall and ceiling frames. They fasten these sheets using screws, ensuring alignment and stability. Next, joints between the panels are taped and covered with joint compound. Several coats are applied, each followed by drying and sanding. This step creates a smooth surface in preparation for the final aesthetic finish. After the surface is prepared, texture is applied if chosen. Common textures include orange peel, knockdown, or skip trowel, each offering a distinct visual effect and helping to hide minor surface imperfections. Texturing is followed by quality checks to confirm that the finish meets the homeowner’s expectations and the standards set by Kimball Construction. ### Who installs drywall? Kimball Construction partners with skilled and licensed drywall professionals who specialize in new construction homes. These contractors understand the importance of precision, cleanliness, and timing. Their experience ensures every panel is installed correctly, minimizing future issues such as cracking or uneven textures. ### How long does drywall installation take to install? In a standard-sized new construction home, drywall installation typically takes about two to three weeks. This timeline can vary based on weather, home size, and finish level. The process includes hanging the drywall, taping and mudding seams, sanding, and performing quality inspections. Once drywall is installed and inspected, painting and interior finishes can begin, moving your project one step closer to completion. ### Frequently Asked Questions #### What is the difference between drywall and plaster? Both drywall and plaster are installed over panels, but they differ in how they are applied and cured. Drywall uses joint compound or “mud” that dries through air exposure, while plaster hardens through a chemical reaction. Drywall is generally easier to install, requires less labor, and is more cost-effective for most homeowners. Plaster, though more labor-intensive, offers a harder, more durable finish and can often be installed in less overall time due to its faster curing process. However, this high-end option typically comes with greater material and labor costs. #### Why is drywall installation time so hard to predict? Drying time during drywall installation is affected by several environmental factors, including weather conditions, humidity levels, indoor temperature, and airflow through the building. Because these elements can change unexpectedly and vary from one site to another, it’s difficult to give an exact duration for drying phases. This variability means that drywall installation schedules must remain flexible to ensure proper curing and long-term quality. #### Can drywall drying time be sped up? Yes, drying time can be improved using a few methods. Dehumidifiers help reduce moisture in the air, which speeds up the drying process. Adding fans increases air circulation, while portable heaters can raise room temperature to encourage faster evaporation. However, all equipment must be used carefully to maintain consistent conditions and avoid over-drying or cracking. #### What happens if drywall is damaged during construction? Kimball Construction inspects and addresses any drywall damage before final walkthroughs. Damaged areas are repaired or replaced to ensure a flawless finish. #### Can I choose a different drywall finish for different rooms? Absolutely. Some homeowners choose a higher finish in main living areas and a standard finish in utility rooms or closets. We support room-by-room customization. However, there may be additional charges for this. #### Is drywall installation messy? Yes, drywall sanding can create dust. However, our crews use dust control methods and clean up thoroughly before moving to the next phase. #### How do I know what drywall type I need? Our team will explain each type and recommend the best options based on room use, moisture levels, and code requirements. #### What if I change my mind about a finish after approving it? If construction hasn’t reached that phase yet, changes can often be made in BuilderTrend. However, late changes may affect timelines or budgets. #### Does drywall contribute to home insulation? While not a primary insulator, drywall adds a layer of thermal and sound resistance. Combined with proper insulation, it contributes to a more efficient home. ### Conclusion The selecting and installation of drywall is a key phase in your home-building journey. At Kimball Construction, we ensure the process is smooth, transparent, and tailored to your preferences.

This sequence ensures that the flooring is protected from potential damage during cabinet installation and allows for a seamless finish. ​ **How is Flooring Selected** Selecting the appropriate flooring involves several considerations:​ 1. **Lifestyle and Usage**: Assess the foot traffic and activities in each room. For instance, durable materials like tile or vinyl are suitable for high-traffic areas, while carpet may be preferred in bedrooms for added comfort.​ 2. **Aesthetic Preferences**: Consider the desired look and feel of each space. Hardwood offers a classic appeal, whereas modern designs might lean towards sleek tiles or polished concrete.​ 3. **Budget**: Determine your budget to narrow down material options. While hardwood is desirable, alternatives like laminate or vinyl can provide a similar look at a lower cost.​ 4. **BuilderTrend Selections**: At Kimball Construction, we utilize BuilderTrend to streamline the selection process. This platform allows you to review standard flooring options curated for quality and style. You can make your selections directly within BuilderTrend, ensuring clarity and organization.​ 5. **External Research**: If you’re seeking options beyond the standard selections, consider exploring local flooring retailers. Visiting these stores can provide a tactile experience, allowing you to see and feel different materials firsthand.​ **How is Flooring Installed** The installation process varies based on the chosen material but generally includes the following steps:​ 1. **Subfloor Preparation**: Ensuring the subfloor is clean, level, and dry is essential for a successful installation. Any irregularities can affect the durability and appearance of the flooring.​ 2. **Acclimation**: Materials like hardwood require acclimation to the home’s environment to prevent expansion or contraction post-installation. This involves storing the flooring on-site for a specified period before installation. 3. **Underlayment Installation**: Depending on the flooring type, an underlayment may be installed to provide moisture barriers, sound insulation, height adjustments, or cushioning.​ 4. **Laying the Flooring**: The flooring is then laid according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and the specific material’s requirements. This step demands precision to ensure alignment and aesthetics.​ 5. **Finishing Touches**: After installation, baseboards or molding are added to cover expansion gaps and provide a polished look.​ **Who Installs Flooring** Flooring installation is a specialized skill best performed by professionals. At Kimball Construction, we collaborate with experienced flooring contractors who are well-versed in various materials and installation techniques. Their expertise ensures that your flooring is installed correctly, enhancing its longevity and appearance.​ **How Long Does Flooring Installation Take** The duration of flooring installation depends on several factors:​ - **Material Type**: Some materials, like laminate or vinyl, can be installed relatively quickly, often within a day or two. In contrast, hardwood flooring may require several days, especially if finishing on-site is necessary.​ - **Area Size**: Larger spaces naturally require more time to complete.​ - **Preparation Needs**: Extensive subfloor preparation or removal of existing flooring can extend the timeline.​ It’s also important to consider ordering and acclimation times. For instance, hardwood flooring needs to acclimate to your home’s environment before installation, which can add a few days to the process. Additionally, some materials may have lead times for ordering, so it’s advisable to plan accordingly to align with your construction schedule.​ **Frequently Asked Questions** 1. **Can I install different flooring types in different rooms?** Yes, selecting flooring based on each room’s function and aesthetic can enhance your home’s overall design. 2. **How do I maintain my new flooring?** Maintenance varies by material. For example, hardwood may require periodic refinishing, while tile and vinyl are generally low-maintenance, needing regular cleaning. 3. **Is underlayment necessary for all flooring types?** Not always. Some flooring materials come with built-in underlayment, while others, like hardwood or laminate, may require a separate underlayment for moisture control, height adjustments, and cushioning. 4. **What is the most durable flooring option for high-traffic areas?** Tile and high-quality vinyl are known for their durability and are excellent choices for high-traffic areas. 5. **Can I install new flooring over existing flooring?** In some cases, yes. However, it’s essential to ensure the existing floor is in good condition and compatible with the 6. **Are different flooring materials different heights?** Yes, different flooring materials can vary in thickness. For example, tile and hardwood are typically thicker than vinyl or laminate. To ensure a smooth, even transition between rooms, Kimball Construction can install underlayment beneath the thinner flooring material. This adjustment is available for an additional cost and helps align flooring heights across your home seamlessly. **Conclusion** Selecting and installation of flooring is a critical part of the homebuilding journey, shaping both the look and livability of your new home. At Kimball Construction, we aim to make this process smooth and informed by offering expert guidance, quality materials, and streamlined selections through BuilderTrend. From understanding different flooring types to coordinating installation timelines, every step is handled with care and precision.

That’s where **Progress Invoices** come in. These invoices ensure that payments are made in stages, keeping the project on track while maintaining financial transparency. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about **Progress Invoices**, including when they are due, how they are completed, and who is responsible for them. --- ## **What Are Progress Invoices?** Simply put, a **Progress Invoice** is a billing document used in construction projects to request payment for work that has been completed up to a certain point. Instead of billing for the entire project at once, contractors submit **Progress Invoices** at agreed-upon intervals. These invoices provide a snapshot of the work completed and help maintain steady cash flow, ensuring that contractors, suppliers, and workers get paid on time. This system benefits both the contractor and the client by offering transparency and preventing financial strain. Typically, **Progress Invoices** are based on: - **Percentage of completion** – A portion of the total contract amount is invoiced as work progresses. - **Costs Incurred** – Payments are requested based on costs incurred at specific project stages. - **Time intervals** – Invoices may be submitted every other week or at other agreed-upon intervals. No matter the structure, **Progress Invoices** ensure that payments align with the actual work performed, making them a crucial part of construction project management. --- ## **When Are Progress Invoices Due?** The due dates for **Progress Invoices** vary depending on the contract terms. However, many construction projects follow a **biweekly billing cycle**, meaning invoices are submitted every other week. This regular schedule helps maintain steady payments and ensures that all parties involved can plan accordingly. Contractors and subcontractors should submit invoices on time, and clients should process payments promptly to avoid delays in project progress. Late payments can disrupt the entire project, leading to delays in material orders, subcontractor payments, and overall progress. That’s why setting clear expectations upfront is key to maintaining a smooth workflow. --- ## **How Are Progress Invoices Completed?** At Kimball Construction, we make the **Progress Invoice** process simple and efficient for our clients. We generate and submit a **Progress Invoice** through **Buildertrend**, our project management software. This system allows clients to review, approve, and pay invoices seamlessly. Here’s how the process works: 1. **Invoice Creation** – Kimball Construction prepares the **Progress Invoice** for the work completed. 2. **Submission Through Buildertrend** – The invoice is submitted through **Buildertrend**, ensuring easy access for the client. 3. **Client Review** – The client can log into **Buildertrend** to review the invoice and verify details. 4. **Payment Processing** – Once reviewed, the client submits payment directly through **Buildertrend**, ensuring a smooth and secure transaction. 5. **Confirmation & Record Keeping** – Payments are recorded, and both parties receive confirmation for their records. Using **Buildertrend** streamlines the invoicing process, reduces paperwork, and ensures that payments are processed efficiently. This system helps keep projects on schedule while providing full transparency for both Kimball Construction and our clients. --- ## **Who Is In Charge of Progress Invoices?** Managing **Progress Invoices** is a team effort. Multiple parties play a role in ensuring timely and accurate billing: - **Contractor or Subcontractor** – Responsible for preparing and submitting invoices. - **Project Manager** – Reviews the invoice to confirm that the work matches project progress. - **Accounts Payable Department** – Processes payments according to the agreed terms. - **Client or Owner** – Approves invoices and ensures funds are available for payment. Clear communication between these roles is essential to keeping **Progress Invoices** on schedule. Delays in approval or payment can slow down the entire project, so coordination is crucial. --- ## **Frequently Asked Questions** ### **1. Why are Progress Invoices necessary?** **Progress Invoices** ensure steady cash flow throughout a construction project. They allow contractors to get paid for completed work instead of waiting until the entire project is finished. ### **2. What happens if a Progress Invoice is late?** If a **Progress Invoice** is submitted late, payments may be delayed, which can slow down the project. In some cases, late payments may also result in penalties or interest charges, depending on contract terms. ### **3. Can Progress Invoices be disputed?** Yes. If a client disagrees with the amount billed, they can request clarification or adjustments. Keeping clear records and providing detailed documentation helps resolve disputes quickly. ### **4. How do retainage and Progress Invoices work together?** Retainage is a portion of the payment withheld until the project is near completion. It helps ensure that final details are completed before full payment is released. **Progress Invoices** typically account for retainage deductions. ### **5. Do all construction contracts use Progress Invoices?** Most large projects use **Progress Invoices**, but smaller jobs may use lump-sum billing instead. The type of invoicing depends on contract agreements. --- **Final Thoughts** Understanding **Progress Invoices** is essential for anyone involved in a construction project. These invoices keep payments organized, maintain financial stability, and ensure that work progresses smoothly. By knowing when they are due, how to complete them correctly, and who is responsible for managing them, both contractors and clients can avoid payment delays and keep projects running efficiently.

The journey from **Contract to Construction** is a crucial phase that ensures your project starts smoothly and stays on track. Understanding what happens during this time can help you stay informed, reduce surprises, and keep the process moving efficiently. --- ## **What Happens Between Contract to Construction?** Once the contract is signed, several key steps take place before breaking ground. This phase is all about preparation, coordination, and ensuring that everything is in place for a successful build.

Pre-Construction Meetings** Before construction starts, pre-construction meetings are held to discuss logistics, safety protocols, and expectations for the project timeline. ### **4. Procuring Materials and Hiring Subcontractors** Ordering materials early ensures everything arrives on time. Additionally, subcontractors are selected and scheduled to keep the workflow efficient. ### **5. Site Preparation** Clearing and grading the site is one of the last steps before construction starts. Utilities may also need to be connected or rerouted. By following these steps, construction teams ensure that everything is in place for a seamless transition from planning to building. --- ## **Who Is In Charge of This Process?** Several key players manage the **Contract to Construction** process, ensuring that each step is executed correctly: - **Project Manager** – Oversees the entire process, keeping the timeline on track and ensuring all tasks are completed. - **General Contractor** – Responsible for hiring subcontractors, managing material procurement, and ensuring construction meets quality standards. - **Architects and Engineers** – Finalize designs and work with project managers to address any technical concerns. - **Permit Expeditors** – Some projects require specialized professionals to navigate the permitting process efficiently. - **Owner/Client** – While the construction team handles most of the work, the owner is involved in decision-making and approvals.

What happens if there are delays in permitting?** If permits take longer than expected, the construction team will adjust the timeline and may start on tasks that don’t require immediate approvals. ### **4. Do I need to be involved in this phase?** While professionals handle most of the work, owners should stay engaged, review updates, and approve key decisions to keep the project moving. ### **5. What can I do to speed up this process?** Having clear project goals, finalizing decisions early, and working with an experienced contractor can help streamline the process. ### **6. What are the biggest challenges in this phase?** Common challenges include permitting delays, material shortages, and unexpected site conditions.

One of these essential choices is insulation options. Proper insulation is a game-changer, enhancing your home’s comfort, energy efficiency, and overall value. At Kimball Construction, we believe understanding the insulation process can make your home-building experience smoother and stress-free. ### **Why Is Insulation So Important?** Insulation is more than just a barrier against cold and heat—it’s a critical element in creating a comfortable and energy-efficient home. Here’s why insulation matters: - **Energy Efficiency**: It minimizes heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, reducing energy bills. - **Comfort**: Insulation helps maintain consistent indoor temperatures year-round. - **Noise Reduction**: It dampens sound, creating a quieter living environment. - **Moisture Control**: Certain insulation types help prevent moisture buildup, reducing the risk of mold. With careful planning and expert installation, insulation becomes an investment that pays off for years to come. --- ### **Insulation Options** Not all insulation is created equal. Your choices depend on factors like budget, climate, and [home design](https://kimballconstruction.com/2024/11/22/next-step-prepare-design-development-plans-for-a-home-addition/). Here’s a breakdown of the most common types: #### **1. Fiberglass Insulation** - **What It Is**: Composed of fine glass fibers, this is one of the most popular and cost-effective options. - **Applications**: Ideal for walls, floors, and ceilings. - **Pros**: Affordable, fire-resistant, and easy to install. - **Cons**: Requires precise installation to avoid gaps and air leaks. #### **2.

To help you understand what’s ahead, here’s a breakdown of each stage in The City of Eugene’s building permit process and how we’ll guide you through it. Knowing these steps will give you a better sense of our progress and address any questions that might come up along the way. ### Step 1: Intake Review The permit process begins with the intake review, where we submit your application to Eugene’s Planning and Development Department. During this initial phase, officials ensure that our application is complete and includes all required documents and information. The purpose of this step is to identify any missing elements early, setting the stage for a streamlined review. ### Step 2: Planning Review Once our application clears the intake review, it moves on to the planning review. In this stage, the Planning Department evaluates your project to ensure it aligns with Eugene’s local zoning regulations, land-use plans, and other relevant ordinances. This review ensures that our project not only meets city requirements but also fits within the community’s broader vision and zoning guidelines. ### Step 3: Public Works Review The third phase involves the Public Works Department, which assesses how your project may impact public infrastructure like roads, utilities, and drainage systems. This review guarantees that our development complies with city standards and does not negatively affect the surrounding environment. Public works approval is essential for ensuring the safety and sustainability of the project within the city’s infrastructure framework. ### Step 4: Building Review After passing both planning and public works reviews, the application proceeds to the Building Department. Here, officials evaluate your project for compliance with building codes and safety regulations. This step is crucial for ensuring the structure’s safety, durability, and adherence to Eugene’s standards. ### Step 5: Approval of Building Permit Upon successful completion of all reviews, the city will issue the building permit, officially approving the project. We’ll receive documentation that allows us to start construction in line with the submitted plans. At this stage, we’ll begin the actual building phase, confident that all requirements have been met and approvals are in place. ### Kimball Constructions’ Commitment to Efficient Processing Throughout the permitting process, our team will maintain open communication with city officials, respond promptly to inquiries, and keep you updated every step of the way.

But before we dive into construction, it’s essential to make sure you have the right insurance coverage. Proper insurance protects your investment, reduces risks, and helps everything run smoothly. Let’s walk through what you need to know to get started. --- ### **Why Insurance Matters for Building a Custom Home** Building a custom home is exciting but also a big responsibility. From the very beginning, having the right insurance gives you peace of mind. It protects you from financial surprises and helps your project stay on track, no matter what challenges arise. Here’s why insurance is so important: 1. **Protects Your Investment**: Safeguards the money you’re spending on materials and labor. 2. **Prevents Delays**: Covers unexpected events like weather damage or theft. 3. **Meets Requirements**: Many lenders require insurance before they’ll approve a loan for construction. By addressing insurance early, you’re setting yourself up for success. --- ### **Step 1: Check Your Existing Homeowner’s Insurance Policy** The first step is reviewing your current homeowner’s insurance policy. Even if you already have coverage for your current home, it won’t automatically apply to a new custom house under construction. Here’s what you should ask your insurance provider: - Will my current policy cover the new home once it’s finished? - Do I need extra coverage during the construction phase? - Can you help me understand what’s not included in my existing policy? This conversation will help you figure out if you need additional coverage. --- ### **Step 2: Get Course of Construction Insurance** One of the most important policies for building a new home is **course of construction insurance**. This policy, often purchased by the homeowner, protects your project from start to finish. It ensures you’re covered in case of accidents, damage, or theft during construction. #### What Does Course of Construction Insurance Cover? Course of construction insurance includes several key protections: - **Structural Damage**: Covers damage to the building caused by fire, storms, or vandalism. - **Materials and Equipment**: Protects materials stored on-site or in transit. - **Liability Protection**: Helps if someone gets injured on the construction site. You’ll want to work with your insurance provider to customize this policy to fit your project’s needs. --- ### **Step 3: Confirm Your Contractor’s Insurance** At Kimball Construction, we believe in transparency and trust. That’s why we carry comprehensive insurance to protect you and our team. Here’s what you can expect from us: - **General Liability Insurance**: Covers any damage caused by our work. - **Workers’ Compensation**: Protects our employees if they’re injured while working on your home. - **Performance Bond:** Guarantees the successful completion of your project. We’re happy to provide proof of these policies so you can feel confident as we move forward. --- ### **Step 4: Check Subcontractors’ Insurance** Building a new custom home often involves subcontractors, like electricians, plumbers, and HVAC specialists. It’s crucial to make sure everyone on-site is insured. This step helps prevent gaps in coverage that could leave you responsible for unexpected costs. At Kimball Construction, we carefully vet all subcontractors. We ensure they carry the appropriate insurance policies before they step foot on your property. --- ### **Step 5: Plan for Completion** As your new home takes shape, you’ll need to transition from course of construction insurance to a standard homeowner’s insurance policy. This is an exciting milestone! To prepare for this step, your insurance provider will likely ask for: - The completion date for the project. - Details about the home’s features, like square footage or special materials. - An appraisal or inspection to determine the home’s value. We’ll help you gather any information you need to make this process seamless. --- ### **Additional Coverage You May Need** Depending on your location, you might need extra insurance to cover specific risks. For example: - **Flood Insurance**: Essential if your home is in a flood-prone area. - **Earthquake Insurance**: A must-have in regions with seismic activity. - **Temporary Housing Coverage**: Protects you if delays require you to stay elsewhere longer than planned. We’ll work closely with you to identify any additional needs and recommend trusted insurance providers. --- ### **Your Partner in Building Your Dream Home** At Kimball Construction, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

This form allows you to share your thoughts on key aspects such as: - **Design Style Preferences:** Do you lean toward modern, traditional, farmhouse, or something uniquely yours? - **Functional Needs:** Are you envisioning an expanded kitchen, extra bedrooms, or a dedicated home office? - **Special Features:** Would you like skylights, a custom entertainment space, or energy-efficient solutions? - **Materials and Finishes:** What colors, textures, and materials will best complement your existing home? Don’t worry if you’re unsure about some questions. We’re here to help! Simply let us know, and we’ll assist in refining your ideas. You can access the form [here](#). --- #### **Step 2: Measure and Photograph Your Existing Home** Before moving forward with the design, we’ll need accurate measurements and photographs of your existing house. These details allow us to create a design that seamlessly integrates the addition with your current space. Scheduling this step is simple! Visit our scheduling website to book a convenient time for us to measure and photograph your home. Click [here to schedule your appointment](https://kimballconstruction.com/house-measure-photograph/ "here to schedule your appointment"). --- #### **Step 3: Reviewing and Refining Initial Concepts** Once we’ve gathered all the details—your completed Google Form and the measurements of your home—our design team will create initial drafts of the layout. These drafts will reflect your preferences, your home’s unique features, and our expertise in maximizing functionality and aesthetics. Within a few days, we’ll share the preliminary concepts with you for review. This collaborative phase ensures we fine-tune the plans to meet your expectations. Adjustments might include: - Reworking layouts to optimize space usage or traffic flow. - Tweaking design elements for better integration with your existing home. - Incorporating feedback on specific details, such as materials or architectural style. --- #### **Step 4: Finalizing Your Design Development Plans** After incorporating your feedback, we’ll finalize the design development plans. These comprehensive plans will guide the following stages of your project, including permitting, material selection, and construction. ### Why Design Development Matters This phase is where your vision truly starts to come to life. By measuring your home, understanding your needs, and refining the design, we’re setting the stage for a seamless construction process and a home addition that enhances your property in every way. ### Your Trusted Partner in Home Design and Construction We’re honored to be part of your home addition journey at Kimball Construction.

If you’re reading this, it means you’re moving forward with your construction project, and now it’s time to take the next step—signing a construction contract. At Kimball Construction, we know this is an exciting and sometimes overwhelming moment, but we’re here to guide you through each detail to ensure you feel confident and informed. ## **Why the Construction Contract Matters** The construction contract is more than a formal document; it’s the foundation of our partnership. This contract clearly defines the scope of work, timelines, payment terms, and any specific responsibilities both parties will uphold. By formalizing these details in writing, we establish mutual expectations, eliminate misunderstandings, and protect you, the client, and us, the contractor, throughout every project phase. ## **What You’ll Find in Our Contract** When you work with us, our construction contract includes several critical elements, beginning with a clear and detailed **scope of work**. This section outlines each task we’ll complete, the materials we’ll use, and any necessary details. Our goal is transparency so you know exactly what to expect. We also clearly outline the payment terms so you know when and how payments will be made. Whether it’s a fixed-price contract, milestone-based, or cost-plus arrangement, we’ll help you choose a payment schedule that best suits your project’s needs. The **project timeline** is another essential part of the contract. We provide estimated start and completion dates and work with you to account for any potential factors that may impact this timeline, such as weather, supply chain delays, or permitting requirements. By establishing a realistic timeline, we can help keep your project on track and address potential delays quickly if they arise. ## **The Change Order Process** Construction projects can change as they develop, so we include a straightforward **change order process** in our contracts. Suppose additional work becomes necessary or you decide to modify the project after we’ve begun. In that case, our change order system allows us to agree on the new scope, cost, and timeline adjustments. This helps us avoid misunderstandings and ensures that every change is managed fairly and efficiently. ## **Important Protections for Both Parties** Our contracts include specific protections to safeguard both you and our team. For example, we outline a dispute resolution process (like mediation or arbitration) to ensure a smooth resolution if any disagreements arise. You’ll also find clear insurance requirements and warranty details for our work. We want you to feel secure knowing that every aspect of the project is covered. ## **Reviewing and Signing Your Contract** Before you sign, please review every detail of the contract. Having a legal expert look it over can provide additional peace of mind if needed. Our team can also answer any questions or walk you through any sections you want to clarify. When you’re ready to move forward, we make the signing process as simple as possible. For your convenience, the contract can be signed electronically, eliminating the need for in-person meetings or mailing documents. We’ll send you a secure email with a link to sign the contract digitally. This process saves time and ensures a secure and efficient way to formalize our agreement so we can begin work on your project without delay. Once the contract is signed, we’ll send you an invoice for the initial deposit. This deposit is an important step that allows us to begin purchasing materials, scheduling our team, and preparing for the project kickoff. With the deposit in place, we can start the planning and coordination to bring your vision to life. With a signed contract and deposit, we’re ready to move into the building phase. At Kimball Construction, we see this contract as a commitment to deliver excellence at every stage. **Categories:** Next Step **Tags:** Construction, Residential --- ## Pages ### [Home](https://kimballconstruction.com/) **Published:** February 8, 2022 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** ![White construction company logo with clean lines, featuring minimalist design and strong, professional typography.](https://i0.wp.com/kimballconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Logo-White-1.webp?fit=794%2C729&ssl=1 "White construction company logo with clean lines, featuring minimalist design and strong, professional typography. – Kimball Construction — Eugene’s Trusted General Contractor") # Trusted Residential & Commercial Builder in Eugene, OR !["Red border surrounding text on a contractor website, emphasizing key information or services for a bold, professional look."](https://i0.wp.com/kimballconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/hero-cornerR.webp?fit=109%2C111&ssl=1 "hero-cornerR – Kimball Construction — Eugene’s Trusted General Contractor") ### Building Trust, One Project at a time !["Red border surrounding text on a contractor website, emphasizing key information or services for a bold, professional look."](https://i0.wp.com/kimballconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/corner-leftR.webp?fit=109%2C111&ssl=1 "corner-leftR – Kimball Construction — Eugene’s Trusted General Contractor") [ Discover More ](/about/) ![Smiling couple signing a contract with Kimball Construction representative, showcasing trust and professional service.](https://i0.wp.com/kimballconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Happy-Couple-scaled.webp?fit=1372%2C1920&ssl=1 "Smiling couple signing a contract with Kimball Construction representative, showcasing trust and professional service. – Kimball Construction — Eugene’s Trusted General Contractor") ###### Core Value #1 ## "Communication is the KEY to every successful project" Kimball Construction is focused on delivering the best communication and information to our clients.

Homeowners across the Northwest are enhancing the value and usability of their properties by incorporating these versatile living spaces. ADUs, often called backyard cottages, in-law suites, or granny flats, are separate residential units located on the same lot as a single-family home. Whether you’re looking to create space for guests, accommodate family members, or generate rental income, an ADU is an innovative solution for maximizing the potential of your property. #### Types of ADUs to Consider ADUs come in various forms, each suited to specific property layouts and needs. Here are some popular options: 1. **Detached ADU Construction**Build a standalone unit separate from your primary home for maximum privacy and flexibility. 2. **Garage Conversion or Expansion**Turn an existing garage into a fully functional living space by repurposing or expanding it. 3. **Interior Conversions**Transform spaces like basements or attics within your main home into cozy, independent living areas. 4. **Attached ADU Additions**Expand your main home by adding a connected yet self-contained living space. #### Why Work with Professional Designers and Builders? While ADUs offer incredible opportunities, planning and constructing them can be complex. Local building codes, zoning regulations, and design challenges require thoughtful navigation to ensure your unit is both comfortable and compliant. Working with experienced design/build professionals ensures that every detail—from layout and utilities to permits and finishes—is handled with expertise. By partnering with skilled ADU specialists, you can: - Understand and adhere to local zoning laws and building requirements. - Optimize small spaces for comfort and efficiency. - Create a custom solution tailored to your property, budget, and goals. #### Get Started with Your ADU Project Today Ready to explore how an ADU can enhance your home? Schedule a no-obligation design consultation with our experts. Together, we’ll help you envision, plan, and create the ideal living space to meet your unique needs.

As part of that commitment, we will always work with every subcontractor to make sure that they know what to expect when bidding our projects. Our procedures are detailed in [this webpage](https://kimballconstruction.com/subcontractor-bidding-procedures/), and encourage you to ask any questions if anything isn’t clear. ## Frequently Asked Questions How do I submit an invoice? Most people email invoices to accounting@kimballconstruction.com, however, you can also mail your invoices to: Kimball Construction P.O. Box 11001 Eugene, OR 97440. When do I get paid? Our standard payment terms are net 45, which means you should receive your payment 45 days after you submit an invoice. Options are available to get paid as fast as 10 days if requested. How do I get paid? By default, payments are sent as a check to the address on file. We offer, and encourage, a direct deposit payment option which is safer and faster. Can I just come to your office to get a check? We offer local pickup of checks in rare instances when mailed checks are repeatedly returned or lost in the mail. Why do you have so much paperwork? We get it, business used to be done with a handshake. As our business grew, we started to have trouble keeping track of who we shook hands with, so we started writing stuff down to help us remember. The good news is that some of the stuff we write down is how much we are going to pay you, when we are going to pay you, what work you don’t have to do etc. If I sign up for direct deposit, does anyone at Kimball Construction have access to my financial data? No. All of your payments, account numbers, verification, etc is handled by bill.com. The only information Kimball Construction has is whether you have signed up or not. I have never worked for a General Contractor before, what's the advantage? By working with a General Contractor, you get to focus on performing the work you love, without having to do the work you don’t love. We will get you clients, plans, money, and provide customer service. All you have to do is show up, do the work, and get paid. I have never worked for a General Contractor before, what's the disadvantage? A good General Contractor is sometimes like your mother making sure you brush your teeth. For example, we are going to make sure you have insurance, make sure you document your change orders, etc. We want you to be successful, and these requirements will help you do that. I entered my info into your form, why have I not received any bid requests? Bid requests are sent as needed to produce our projects.

We use BuilderTrend to collect bids, issue purchase orders, and track payments. Do I have to use for BuilderTrend? No. Although using BuilderTrend will make is faster and easier for you to communicate with us and the clients, we understand that not everyone is willing to sign up for our software.

ADUs are typically small, self-contained living spaces that can be built on the same lot as an existing single-family home, providing an affordable housing option and potentially generating rental income. When designing an ADU, Kimball Construction considers factors such as privacy, natural light, and accessibility. The design should also take into account the intended use of the space, such as whether it will be used as a rental unit or as a separate living space for a family member. Building an ADU requires obtaining permits and adhering to local building codes, fortunately Kimball Construction handles all of this for you. Depending on the site’s characteristics and the intended use of the ADU, it may be necessary to address issues such as drainage, access, and parking. It’s also important to work with a qualified contractor or designer who has experience with ADU construction. Overall, designing and building an ADU can be a complex process, but with careful planning and attention to detail, it can provide an affordable housing option and additional living space for homeowners. - Attached ADU's - Detached ADU's - Garage Conversions --- ### [Our Team](https://kimballconstruction.com/our-team/) **Published:** June 21, 2022 **Author:** Roman Anderson **Content:** Roman Anderson Owner & Project Manager Roman Anderson is a skilled construction and communication professional with a passion for creating meaningful connections through his work.
