How We Build

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
