Estimate Your Site Costs

Before construction begins, it’s essential to evaluate your building lot and understand the site-specific expenses that come with it. Meeting with one of our Project Managers is the best way to get a clear picture of what’s required for your property.

Site costs can vary significantly depending on the land, and they often include:

• Land clearing and grading to prepare the site for your foundation.
• Foundation work, which may be more complex on sloped or rocky lots.
• Utility connections, such as water, septic, electricity, and gas.
• Driveways and drainage solutions to ensure safe and functional access.
• Soil or slope challenges that may require engineering, retaining walls, or additional excavation.

Questions to Consider About Your Lot

• Does the property have existing utility connections, or will new lines need to be installed?
• Is the land relatively flat, or will grading and retaining walls be necessary?
• Are there trees, rock, or other natural features that will affect clearing costs?
• Is the soil stable enough for a standard foundation, or will extra support be required?
• How will the site impact driveway placement, drainage, and outdoor living areas?

By carefully estimating site costs upfront, you’ll avoid unexpected surprises later and ensure your budget accurately reflects the true scope of your project.
