1. What To Expect: New Home Building Process You’ve found the perfect location and you’re working with a reputable home construction company. You’re excited about your new home and can’t wait for it to be built and move in. This isn’t just a starter house, this will be your dream house and you plan on growing old here. But first, the house needs to be built. Whether you’re a local in Eureka Springs or Bella Vista home buyer, there are definite steps to the home building process. Read on for more information on how your home will be built:  First, prep the site and pour the foundation. Everything starts at the ground level, so the ground must be level.
