Pre-Construction Site Evaluation Checklist

Before breaking ground or closing on a lot, we review:

  • Septic & Soil Capacity: Verifying perk tests and septic layout for bedroom counts.
  • Zoning & Setbacks: Confirming building envelopes across county and shoreline setback rules.
  • Elevation & Drainage: Planning foundation layouts, site grading, and water management.
  • View Corridors: Orienting outdoor porches, decks, and main living areas toward water views.
