Our Home-Building Process
Foundation and Site Work
Before the home is built, the site must be cleared and graded. Once this is done, trenches for the foundation are dug. All standard foundations are built on block, although basements can also be poured concrete as an option.
- Twelve course poured basement with interior insulation per NYSEC
- Insulated basement windows
- Blacktop street with concrete gutters
- All underground utilities
- Underground cable TV service available
- Concrete Sidewalks
- Storm and sanitary sewers
- Stoned driveway
- Lot finish graded with topsoil to individual grading plan and town or village code
- 3×3 stoned pavers from porch to driveway
Framing
Once the foundation is set, the floor, walls, stairs and roof are built. The frame is the shell of the home that provides the shape of the structure. Make sure you take into consideration the placement of all your windows, (is there going to be enough light in the room? is there going to be sufficient air flow?) These are things to change now on the drawings because they cannot be changed later.
Included in Matco’s Homes:
- Framing
- Top-grade lumber used throughout
- Truss construction used
- 5/8″ Advantech or equal decking glued and nailed
- 1/2″ OSB on roof and 1/2″ OSB on sidewalls
- 2 x 6 exterior wall framing – 16″ OC
Mechanical Rough-Ins
Electrician installing wiring in a home.
Once the interior of the house is properly protected from the elements, the plumbing, electricity, water heating, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems are installed.
You will meet with the electrician to place the electrical outlets and fixtures throughout your home. You will also have an opportunity to add additional outlets and also decide if you would like ceiling lights in bedrooms (for an additional cost). Remember, it will cost more later and will be more inconvenient when the walls are drywalled and your furniture is in — So now is the time to do it!

Interior Finishes
Once everything behind the walls is complete, the flooring, drywall, tiles and cabinetry are installed, and the home is painted. This is the longest phase, for good reason. Unlike the mechanical rough-in step, subcontractors in the interior finish steps usually cannot do work at the same time.
