STEP BY STEP

Our Six-Phase Building Process

From your first phone call to your final walkthrough, here’s exactly what to expect when you build with ORCS in Ocala.
PHASE 01

Discovery & Design

We start with a free consultation to understand your goals, budget, and vision. Our team helps you select or customize a floor plan and delivers a detailed scope of work.

PHASE 02

Permitting & Site Prep

We submit all required permits to Marion County, coordinate surveys and engineering, and prepare your lot — including clearing, grading, septic/drainfield, and driveway access.

PHASE 03

Foundation & Slab

Footers are dug, underground plumbing is stubbed, and your concrete slab is formed and poured. All work is inspected by Marion County before we move to the next phase.

PHASE 04

Framing & Structural

Walls are framed or block is laid, trusses are set, and the roof is sheathed and dried in. This is where your home first takes its full shape on the lot.

PHASE 05

Rough-Ins, Drywall & Finishes

Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins are completed and inspected. Then drywall, paint, cabinetry, countertops, flooring, exterior stucco, and all trim work are installed.

PHASE 06

Final Walkthrough & Delivery

We complete all final inspections, address any punch-list items with you, and do a full walkthrough together. When everything meets your approval, we hand over the keys.
