From Consultation
to Closing Day
Building a home should be exciting, not overwhelming. Here’s exactly how WMMC Construction takes you from idea to keys — with full transparency at every step.
Your Vision Starts Here
01.Initial Consultation
We sit down with you — in person or virtually — to understand your vision, your budget, your timeline, and your goals. Charles personally leads every initial consultation. There are no pushy sales pitches. Just honest conversation about what's possible.
- Discuss your goals and budget
- Review lot options or evaluate your existing land
- Understand your family's lifestyle needs
- Explore design styles and preferences
- Set realistic timeline expectations
Blueprint for Your Dream
02.Design & Planning
Once we align on vision, our design team develops your floor plans, exterior elevations, and material specifications. You'll have the opportunity to review, revise, and approve everything before a single permit is filed.
- Custom floor plan development
- Architectural drawings & elevations
- Material and finish selections
- Energy-efficiency planning
- Final design approval
We Handle the Red Tape
03.Permitting
Permitting in Memphis can be complex. We handle every document, every submission, and every city interaction so you don't have to. You'll never sit on hold with the building department — that's our job.
- Building permit application
- Zoning & setback verification
- Utility connections coordination
- Inspection scheduling setup
- Code compliance review
Ground Breaking
04.Site Preparation
Before the first stick of framing goes up, we prepare your site properly — land clearing, grading, drainage planning, and foundation layout. Getting the site right is what makes the rest of the build right.
- Land clearing & grading
- Soil compaction & evaluation
- Drainage planning
- Foundation layout & staking
- Utility rough-in begins
Built From the Ground Up
05.Foundation
A great home starts with a great foundation. We pour precisely and inspect carefully — because everything you build above depends on what you build below.
- Foundation pour & curing
- Inspection by licensed inspector
- Waterproofing & moisture barrier
- Structural sign-off
- Transition to framing
The Shape of Your Home
06.Framing & Structure
Framing is where your home takes shape. You'll see walls rise, rooms form, and roofline emerge. WMMC's framing crew works with precision — every measurement matters, every beam placed to code.
- Wall framing & sheathing
- Roof framing & trusses
- Window & door rough openings
- Structural inspections
- Roof deck installation
The Systems That Make It Home
07.Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing
MEP rough-ins happen before the walls close — and every system is inspected before we proceed. We only work with licensed, insured subcontractors held to the same standard we hold ourselves.
- Electrical rough-in
- Plumbing rough-in
- HVAC ductwork & equipment
- Licensed inspections
- Energy-efficient system selection
Efficiency Meets Comfort
08.Insulation & Drywall
Proper insulation is the difference between a comfortable home and a costly one. We use high-performance insulation throughout — walls, ceiling, and floor — before drywall goes up and everything gets sealed in.
- High-performance insulation install
- Drywall hanging & finishing
- Interior wall texture
- Ceiling finish
- Pre-paint preparation
Where Craftsmanship Shows
09.Interior Finishes
This is where your selections come to life. Flooring, cabinetry, countertops, tile, fixtures, paint — every finish installed by skilled tradespeople who take pride in the details.
- Flooring installation
- Cabinet installation
- Countertop fabrication & install
- Tile work & backsplash
- Paint & interior trim
Before We Hand Over the Keys
10.Final Walkthrough
Before closing, you walk every room of your new home with Charles. We document anything that needs attention and complete it before you take possession. There's no moving-in and hoping — we close only when you're satisfied.
- Full home walkthrough with Charles
- Punch list completion
- System demonstrations
- Final cleaning
- Utility transfer coordination
Your Home. Your Keys.
11.Closing Day
Closing day is a celebration. You sign, you get keys, and you walk into a home that was built specifically for you — on time, within budget, and to a standard that will hold its value for decades.
- Final documentation review
- Title transfer
- Key handover
- Home manual & warranty packet
- Warranty registration
We Stand Behind Our Work
12.Builder Warranty
WMMC backs every home we build with a comprehensive builder warranty. Because quality isn't just something we say — it's something we stand behind long after closing day.
- Workmanship warranty
- Systems warranty coverage
- Structural warranty
- Warranty claim support
- Post-close follow-up
