  • Episode 24: The Final Countdown: What Happens in the Last 14 Days Before Move-In
    Nov 14 2025

    You’re two weeks out from move-in—and while your home may look finished, behind the scenes it's organized chaos. Crews are hustling, punch lists are growing, appliances are arriving, and there’s a mad dash to wrap up dozens of final details before you get the keys. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it’s one of the most intense phases of the entire construction process. In this episode of Built to Last, host Eric Schwarze, Director of Construction at Maykus Homes, is joined by builder Bubba Gregg to walk through the last 14 days before closing. From city paperwork and inspections to punch lists, appliance installs, and homeowner walkthroughs, they’ll break down what’s happening behind the scenes—and why those final details matter.
