The Build - Building & Opening a Model Home

Introduction

Welcome to the second and final part of our behind-the-scenes journey through the creation of an AR Homes® model home. In Part 1, we explored the initial stages of envisioning and planning, from conceptualization to initial design. Now, we’ll delve into the hands-on process that transforms these plans into a beautiful, tangible home ready for clients to experience.

The construction phase is where ideas begin to take shape, each step carefully coordinated to ensure that every detail aligns with our vision of luxury, functionality, and style. Join us as we take you through the key stages that lead to the finished AR Homes® model home.

Building the Foundation of Style and Quality

Model Home Construction Begins

With plans finalized, the construction phase kicks off. At this point, materials are meticulously ordered to ensure availability and quality. From structural components to high-end finishes, every element is selected with precision, ensuring it complements the overall design aesthetic and adheres to the AR Homes® standard of excellence.

Walkthrough with AR Homes Corporate & Local Designers – Framing the Vision

Once the framing is up, our corporate team and local designers conduct a walkthrough to review the layout and key design elements. At this stage, we discuss lighting fixture placements, hang heights, and any unique structural details that bring personality to the model home. This collaboration allows us to refine design elements as we transition to the next phases, ensuring a seamless alignment with our initial vision.

Walkthrough After Drywall Installation – Preparing for Finishing Touches

With the drywall complete, we conduct another walkthrough. This step is essential for visualizing how the space flows and how each room connects. Our team ensures that the placement of key design elements—like light fixtures, wall details, and architectural features—meets our standards. The layout truly begins to take shape, giving us the groundwork to bring in our carefully curated materials.

 Material Installations Begin

The installation phase is where the transformation really happens. Cabinets, flooring, tile, and other finishes are meticulously installed, layer by layer, bringing warmth, texture, and character to each space. From the flooring in the living areas to the tiling in the kitchen and bathrooms, every material is chosen to create harmony within the design. Our experienced team ensures that each element is installed with precision, enhancing the beauty and functionality of the home.

Furniture and Window Treatments – Adding the Final Touches

With the foundational elements complete, the final layers are added: furniture and window treatments. Our design team carefully installs custom-selected furniture that complements the home’s architecture and brings a welcoming, livable feel. Window treatments are tailored to enhance natural light while adding a touch of elegance and privacy. These final touches add warmth, comfort, and sophistication, creating a space that feels both luxurious and inviting.

Final Walkthrough – A Complete Vision

In the last stage of the process, our team conducts a final walkthrough to ensure that every detail is in place. Seeing the completed model home, with all materials, finishes, and furnishings together, is a moment of pride for everyone involved. Every design choice, from the color palette to the lighting, has come together to create a stunning showcase of AR Homes®’ craftsmanship and creativity.
