ou’ve picked your lot, fallen in love with a floor plan, and signed the papers. So… what happens next?

At Envision Homes, our job is to make sure your build feels exciting, not overwhelming. From your first design meeting to your move-in day, you’ll always know what’s happening, when, and why.

Here’s a peek behind the curtain at how our Tulsa builds come to life — step by step.

‍

Step 1 – Design & Selections

Before dirt ever moves, we help you make all the fun decisions:

• Floorplan customizations (walls, windows, ceiling height)
• Cabinet, flooring, and lighting selections
• Exterior colors and finishes

Pro Tip: We have generous allowances for flooring, countertops, etc., so you don’t get hit with surprise costs or delays.

‍

Step 2 – Permitting & Prep

We handle all the paperwork and approvals through the City of Tulsa or local jurisdictions like Bixby, Jenks, or Broken Arrow.
This includes:

• Building permit application
• Utility tap coordination (water, sewer, gas, electric)
• Site survey and soil report

‍

Step 3 – Site Work & Foundation

Once the permit’s in hand, dirt starts moving. We:

• Clear and grade the lot
• Install plumbing and electrical groundwork
• Pour your slab or footings (depending on the soil report)

Because Tulsa’s soil can expand and contract, we engineer every foundation to the site’s exact needs — no cookie-cutter slabs here.

‍

Step 4 – Framing & Roofing

Your home finally starts to take shape!

• Framing goes up within 2–3 weeks depending on weather
• Roof decking, shingles, and windows installed next
• Framing inspection completes this phase

We schedule walk-throughs so you can see progress in person (and it’s usually everyone’s favorite stage).

‍

Step 5 – Mechanical Systems

We call this the “behind-the-walls” phase:

• HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems installed
• Insulation and energy-efficient foam applied
• City inspection before sheetrock

Envision partners with licensed, insured trades only — no cutting corners with cheap subcontractors. You can even do walkthroughs with the electrician to make sure plugs and switches are where you want them.

‍

Step 6 – Interior Finishes

This is where your Pinterest board comes to life.

• Cabinets, counters, tile, trim, and paint go in
• Lighting and plumbing fixtures installed
• Flooring last (so it stays pristine!)

Each Envision home includes premium finishes standard — the same upgrades other builders charge extra for.

‍

Step 7 – Final Walk-Through & Orientation

Before you move in, we walk through every room with you:

• Test outlets, appliances, and fixtures
• Verify punch-list items are complete
• Review warranty coverage and maintenance tips

You’ll get a 1-year workmanship warranty and lifetime structural assurance — because we stand behind every home we build.

‍

Step 8 – Move-In & Follow-Up

Once you’ve moved in, our team checks in again to make sure everything’s performing perfectly.

Need touch-ups or warranty service? We’re local, and we’re here. You won’t get an 800-number — you’ll get us. We stand behind the Oklahoma Home Builders Association 1-year warranty.

The Envision Difference

Other builders hand you a vague “it’ll be done when it’s done.”
We hand you a clear roadmap, constant updates, and communication you can count on.

No wondering. No chasing updates. Just progress.
