New construction schedule of tasks

[Jon Graham]

I've been doing fix and flips for several years. I've been in the construction industry for almost 20 years. Construction sales for the last 6.

I'm generally very knowledgeable about construction and techniques. I'm moderately knowledgeable about the finance side (my partner handles the finances for our business) I'm considering building a new home for my personal residence, but I've never done it before and I don't have experience coordinating a new home into a successful project. For my company we have tossed around the idea of getting into new construction for a while and a home for myself would be good training.

Is there a schedule of tasks that anyone uses as a template? From when to go for financing to when a survey is done. What is the first step, blueprints or lot? I have a lot of trade contacts, but the beginning steps that you wouldn't normally go trough with a flip are unknown to me.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm located in NW Indiana.
