Site Safety
Construction sites can be dangerous places. Children are not permitted on site. Due to insurance regulations and for your and your family’s safety, we request that you do not visit the construction site unless:
You're accompanied by an Empire Communities representative and
It’s either closing day, the pre-scheduled Frame Walk, or Homeowner Orientation
We care for the safety of your family. We cannot be responsible for any injury that occurs during an unac- companied visit to the construction site. Even if accom- panied by one of our representatives, we ask that you wear protective footwear — this means no open-toed shoes or sandals are permitted. We will also provide you with a hard hat.
Inspections
Many inspections are conducted on your home. Each one is very important in the construction process and the meeting of your closing day. A rigorous set of municipal inspections helps ensure the construction of your home complies with the Ontario Building Code (OBC).
Construction Timelines
In this section you'll find an approximate construction timeline for your home. It will help you understand the construction process and get a better idea of what to expect.
A long series of steps are taken to make sure your home is completed by the scheduled closing day. We do our best to make sure each stage is finished on time. (Please note that there may be slight changes to the order of certain tasks due to trade availability or weather.)
To Keep in Mind
For your home materials to be ordered on time and production of items to be kept on track, it’s critical that you meet and complete your Design Appointment.
Our Customer Care Liaison will notify you of milestones throughout the construction process, such as the start of your home.
Prior to the backfill of your foundation, the Municipality conducts a back- fill inspection to ensure that the foundation weeper system is installed in accordance to OBC standards.
i You'll also be notified when the roof is complete.
A City Inspector will conduct a framing inspection. We'll be able to continue with the construction of your home when your home has passed this inspection.
Your home is now just 50 % complete.
The Site Administrator will contact you to schedule your Frame Walk. (Please make sure the Sales Office has your updated contact info.) This is a great opportunity to meet your Construction Superintendent and to see how the construction process is coming along. Frame Walk appointments take approximately one hour and are scheduled Monday through Friday between the hours of 8am-4pm.
A Municipal Inspector will ensure your home has the proper insulation. Empire's New Home Energy Specialist will also inspect your home to ensure it’s fairly airtight so that it meets Energy Star standards. You will receive your Energy Star certification at your PDI or shortly after you take possession of your home.
Your closing day is fast approaching. This would be a great time to sched- ule a mover and contact the utility companies to set up an account.
We lay the floor tiles before we install the interior trim. Then the drywall is checked, the fireplace installed and the interior paint completed. This is the last step before we move on to the kitchen and vanities.
Your dream home is almost ready!
An independent third-party conducts a blow door test to confirm the air tightness of your home. This would be a good time to contact your solici- tor and financial institution to ensure everything is in order for your clos- ing day.
Unlike many builders, we conduct a thorough Quality Assurance (QA) inspection prior to the Home Orientation to help ensure your home is in top-notch condition.
Taking place approximately one week before closing, the Home Orientation is your first opportunity to note any deficiencies in your new home, which will be noted on the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) form. We aim to repair these deficiencies by the time of closing or shortly thereafter (aside from seasonal items). Your Home Orientation Specialist will also explain how to use your home's Energy Star components and offer maintenance tips like how to best care for your countertop and bathtubs.
