What does the blue tape orientation, or home orientation or walkthrough, as some builders call it, consist of? It is a meeting that takes around one or two hours, depending on how much detail they go into regarding the products and the size of the house. During this process, we often put blue tape on paint details, which is what we find most often, while we talk with the builder and the builder explains details of the house, for example, how the smoke detector works and other functions of the house, the appliances, registers, warranties, and all that. It is part of your construction process when you are buying a new home, and it takes place approximately one week before the delivery of the house. It is a very fun process, and buying a new home normally comes with warranties, so someday you will be able to experience this.
