There is no verse or authentic supplication to be recited when laying the foundation stone for building a house. However, upon residing in the house, one should say: "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created." It is also recommended to recite the Quran, especially Al-Baqarah, to expel Shaytan.
