Site Evaluation
The importance of site planning
cannot be overstated. Unfortunately, it's an area of discussion
that
is often overlooked. Experienced land planners on
our team can help you through this very important
step. The primary reasons for wanting to produce an
accurate site plan include:
- Making sure that the home design that
you have
dreamed of can be built on a particular location
on your lot. For example, locating the proper
slope so a walk out basement can be incorporated
into the design.
- Maximizing view corridors
- Developing your site access
(referred to as an “access study”)
while minimizing steep drives,
expensive retaining walls, long and therefore
costly utility runs, and at the same time finding
solutions that meet local codes.
- Understanding lot requirements and
restrictions, such as setbacks, easements, utility locations,
access points, local building codes and DRC
requirements
We assist and advise you with
this stage as your log home cannot be properly designed,
placed, or
accurately priced without a site plan. We sit on your
side of the table during this key step.
