Having a building professional help you with selecting your lot can save you thousands of dollars by estimating site preparation and building costs as well as assuring you that the site will accommodate your current and future needs.
Here is a partial list of things to consider when looking for a building site.
- Slope of the lot. Is the lot suitable for the design you have in mind? Will drainage affect the location of the building site or require additional preparation? If the lot has a slope will steps and handrails be needed or will access be limited and how will it affect cost?
- View lots. Does the lot have a view that can add value to the home? How can the home be designed to maximize the view?
- What is being developed near the property? How will the value of your home be affected by what has been or will be developed?
- Do the schools meet your needs or affect the property value?
- What amenities are available? Does the property suit your lifestyle and is it convenient?
- Will property restrictions such as Home Owner Associations, Architectural Controls, and City Ordinances affect your design or your lifestyle?
- What utilities are available or will be needed and what will they add to the cost.
