Choosing where to build your new home is among the first and most important things you need to do in your new home construction journey. Many people feel it appropriate to seek and find their home site on their own or with a Realtor®. While this is not a bad way to begin, before you sign on the dotted line to purchase the parcel, you really need to have your builder conduct a site visit. There are so many variables related to a home site that will impact the total cost of your new home. These costs may be completely acceptable to you, or they may come as a surprise. Either way, informed decisions are always preferable to uninformed decisions. One of the saddest things that we witness as builders is having a client come to us, all excited about building their dream home, and not realizing that they cannot afford every selection they had been dreaming of due to extensive site work they did not figure in to their new home project budget, or worse, they can’t afford to build on that site at all. Another dismal situation is obtaining your home site, then bringing your dream home plans into the builder only to find out that because of setbacks or septic placement issues, your dream home will not fit on the lot you just purchased.
