A beautiful lot photo cannot tell you whether a site fits the home you want. Begin with the setting, access, orientation and how the household expects to use the outdoors.
What to discuss
Ask the builder and appropriate local professionals what needs investigation before you commit. Site conditions, utilities, access, setbacks and applicable restrictions need site-specific confirmation.
Make the next step clear
Discuss who performs each check and when the findings become available. Do not treat a conceptual floor plan as proof that a home can be built on a particular property.
Your conversation checklist
- Confirm the expected arrival and outdoor living areas.
- Ask who investigates utilities, access and site conditions.
- Record unresolved items before approving a plan.
