    First get all the proper permits. If this a complete new house and on site systems I would get a perk done for septic first. No septic no house or a holding tank.
    Site grade drill well / lay out foundation placement.

    Pour footers and get inspected.
    Lay block
    Install house plate and deck out floor and rough frame house and sheet in roof and tar paper.
    House wrap and set windows.
    Rough in plumbing/ tub/ showers set
    Rough in HVAC.
    Rough in. electric
    Inspections of all roughens Plumb/Electric etc
    Pour basement floor
    Roof can be shingled in after plumbing vents are installed.
    Insulate attic
    Hang and finish drywall.prime walls.
    Flooring prep/ luan etc.
    Finish paint and trim
    Kitchen cabinets installed
    Finish flooring installed
    Outlet covers on and grills
    Carpet
    Exterior / siding/ façades can get started after all windows and doors are set
    I could brake down the list more but this is a general sequence
