Building a custom home is a meaningful and exciting journey—one that’s deeply personal and full of anticipation. But with so many moving parts, it’s easy for timelines to shift if the process isn’t well managed. At Curington Homes, we understand that every day counts when you’re waiting to move into your dream home. That’s why we’re intentional about planning, communication, and coordination to help every project run smoothly and stay on schedule.
Here’s how we keep timelines on track—and how you, as a homeowner, can play a key role in the process.
It Starts with a Solid Plan
Before we ever break ground, we invest time upfront to clearly define your home’s design, features, and budget. Our Design + Build approach allows us to align the architectural vision with construction realities—minimizing surprises down the road. From early selections to lot preparation, we create a step-by-step roadmap to guide the journey ahead.
Homeowner Tip: Make as many decisions as possible during the design phase. Locking in your selections early avoids delays and lets us order materials ahead of time.
Communication You Can Count On
Nothing slows a build down like unclear expectations or missed updates. At Curington Homes, communication is one of our core values—we believe it builds trust, reduces stress, and keeps projects moving. With the Buildertrend client portal, you’ll have 24/7 access to your schedule, change orders, documents, and real-time job site photos. You’re always in the loop and never left guessing.
Homeowner Tip: Stay engaged. Check your Buildertrend portal regularly and reach out if you have questions. Proactive communication keeps everything aligned.
Local Relationships That Keep Things Moving
Over five decades in the Ocala area have allowed us to build lasting relationships with subcontractors, suppliers, and permitting officials. These trusted partnerships help us maintain momentum, resolve challenges quickly, and ensure every trade partner is committed to the same high standards.
Homeowner Tip: When choosing a builder, ask about their vendor relationships. A team that works well together behind the scenes makes a big difference on the timeline.
Track Progress with Purpose
At Curington Homes, we don’t just “hope” a project stays on track—we measure every step. Our team follows a structured milestone checklist through each phase, from permitting and engineering to inspections and finishes. This disciplined tracking helps us spot potential slowdowns early and stay agile in our scheduling.
Homeowner Tip: Ask your builder for updates tied to major milestones like framing, roofing, and drywall. It helps you understand what’s happening and when to expect the next step.
Plan for the Unexpected—Without Losing Time
Even with the best planning, Central Florida’s weather or nationwide supply chain hiccups can impact timelines. What sets us apart is how we prepare for those possibilities. We build buffer time into our scheduling, keep close tabs on materials, and maintain flexibility without compromising craftsmanship.
Homeowner Tip: While it’s important to plan for a move-in date, allow some flexibility. A quality build is worth a few extra days if it means getting it done right.
