When working with you to build a custom home, one of the first — and most important steps — is a lot inspection. A thorough lot inspection does more than lay the groundwork for how we’ll build your dream home or figure out where it will be located on the lot. A quality inspection can save you from potential complications and headaches later on. Here’s a closer look at why these inspections are so important.
Ensures Utilities Can Reach the Lot
One of the most important aspects of a lot inspection is ensuring that essential utilities like electricity, water, sewage, and internet can be connected to your lot. As part of this process, we check the property’s access to local utility lines, identify any potential obstacles to utility set-up, and help you understand the cost implications of connecting utilities to your property.
Timely Completion of Construction
Our lot inspections also include a comprehensive evaluation of the land itself. We look at your land’s topography, soil type, and other physical characteristics that could have an impact on the building process. This enables us to design a construction plan and build allowances into your bank loan that takes these elements into account. This planning ensures timely and efficient work during construction, as well as durable, lasting quality.
Unique Situations
Lot inspections also help us identify and plan for any unique situations related to your property. From accounting for property lines and trees overhanging the property to local zoning laws, property easements, environmental restrictions, or even historical designations, we consider all issues that could affect building on your property. With this information, we’ll help you adapt your plans as needed to fit your lot and vision.
As you can see, a lot inspection is truly indispensable for building your dream home. At Capstone Custom Homes, we take this responsibility very seriously to ensure you get the quality results you deserve. Contact us today to learn more about our processes.
