Floors Poured

Foundation is backfilled

Basement floors are poured

A Dry Basement is a Happy Basement

The basement walls have been poured and the waterproofing system put in place.  Now we wait for a week or so for the walls to cure before they are backfilled.

The black sealant is a product by Watchdog

Equipment is ready to backfill when the walls are cured

Tile and stone will collect the water and take it away from the basement walls

A yellow inspection tag is like a "green light" in the construction business

Dig It!

The basement has been dug, the footings for the foundation has been poured and the forms for the basement walls have been dropped on site.

Lot is staked and ready to go!

After the best position for the home on the lot has been determined, the engineers survey and stake the corners, perimeter of the home to insure that the foundation is in the exact location.

The sand has already been dropped to backfill the water/sewer trench

This will make a beautiful back yard

Building a Home - Step by Step

Building a home is an exciting time but it can also be a stressful one too.  The vast majority of this stress is due to the unknown.  Eastbrook Homes does a fantastic job of taking the stress and hassle out of the building process.  We have built thousands of homes and know how to give our customers the thrill of seeing the home of their jobs become a reality - literally, before their eyes.

Most of our customers start with one of Eastbrook's base plans with a wide variety of elevations and standard options then customize their home from there to give it their personal flair.  Each customer meets with our staff interior designer in the award-winning Eastbrook Home Creation Studio (more about this later) to receive expert assistance in making their home fit their needs and reflect their tastes.

Please join us on this journey as we document, step by step, the building of one of our most popular plans.  The Sanibel is a 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath two story with a very open and spacious feel.  I hope you enjoy following along as we see, in pictures what each step in building this home looks like.
