Build on Your Lot: How Does it Work?

Imagine having the freedom to choose exactly where your home will stand, down to the very patch of earth it rests upon. That’s the essence of building on your lot. It’s a process where a builder constructs your dream home on a lot you already own, rather than a pre-selected site. This empowers homeowners with unparalleled control over their home’s location and the building process. In this blog post, we’ll explore the build on your lot process and shed light on how Accessible Home Builders can make your vision a reality.

Finding Your Land

The first step in building on your lot is to find your land. This might be a piece of property you own or an ideal location you’re considering. There are a number of essential aspects about choosing and preparing land to build on. Do you have land ready for construction, or will it require clearing and development? Are utilities in place, or will a well and septic system need to be installed? Is your ideal house going to fit? 

Site Review

Performing a site review on your lot is essential to answer these questions. Accessible Home Builders provides free site reviews to clients looking to build a custom home. We guide our customers and provide them with our opinions on the challenges and opportunities we see on any lot. Factors like soil quality, topography, and site preparation needs can significantly impact your overall construction budget. A seemingly affordable lot may cost more if extensive work is required to make it buildable.

We make our analysis as comprehensive as possible because our customers rely on us to help them decide whether to move forward with a land purchase or architectural plans. After the site review, we evaluate the site and recommend reducing costs.

Pre-Construction Meeting

Before construction begins, you will meet with our construction team to review the plans for your new custom home. A thorough review of the plan ensures your new home’s placement, orientation, and grading are all as per the agreed terms. Additionally, structural elements like the type of siding, window placements, and foundation details are examined for accuracy.

For a successful pre-construction meeting, you should review the plans, specifications, and contract beforehand. Have a list of questions covering even the minutest details. Understanding the limitations of structural changes is crucial, as these are often set in stone once construction begins.

Construction

Accessible Home Builders handles everything related to constructing the home. As such, we often include appliances, driveways, landscaping, well and septic, and clearing if needed. We will review these needs when we meet to discuss your project.

During construction, one of our expert project managers will be available to address any concerns or questions. Your home will undergo a series of county inspections and our own quality assurance inspections to ensure that it is built to the highest standards expected from on-your-lot builders.
