Underlayment
The plywood put down during the initial framing is called subflooring. Generally it is covered by tar paper or 4-mil-thick plastic as a vapor barrier and then by 5/8-inch particle board. Alternatively, it may be covered with rigid concrete wonder board for tile installations.

Bathroom and Kitchen Counters and Cabinets
The cabinet company will install kitchen and bathroom cabinets. They are simply aligned on the wall and screwed into the wall studs. Countertops are screwed on top of the cabinets.
Finish PlumbingOnce the cabinets are in, the plumber will return and install sinks, toilets and faucets. The plumber will also install the water heater if it was not installed during rough plumbing.
Hookup to Water Main, or Well Drilling &
Hookup to Sewer or Installation of a Septic
SystemDepending on where the house is located, it will either have a private well and septic system or it will hook up to municipal water and sewer lines. If a private well and septic tank are needed, the contractor will bring in a well-drilling subcontractor and a septic-tank subcontractor. Otherwise, the contractor will call someone (either the municipality or a subcontractor) to extend the municipal lines to the house. The plumber will hook up the water and sewer lines.
Trim
Once the cabinets are in, the interior doors are installed and the molding around the doors, windows and baseboards goes in.
Painting
Once the molding is on, it is time to paint and wallpaper the interior of the house.
Carpet and Flooring
Punch List
At this point, the builder inspects the house, noting any problems. All problems are tabulated on a punch list. The different contractors return to fix all of the problems.
