New Home Construction Check list
Hello All,
A friend of mine recently purchased some land. Since purchasing the land he’s been contemplating the idea of constructing a home.
He’s asked me for help on his hoke construction journey since I’m a recently licensed Realtor. However I’m afraid I’ll be learning on the fly. I am not familiar with this process.
So, this is what I know so far.
1) zoning -> checked out, he will be able to build his home on his land.
2) building permit -> in order to get a building permit he’ll need a survey done.
3) survey - before we get the survey we will first find out the integrity of the soil by preforming a Soil Test.
4) Soil Test -> after completing the soil test a Perc Test would be needed for the septic tank.
5) Perc Test -> required for septic tank
note, the piece of land does not have a sewer line so a septic tank is needed…. And if a septic tank is needed a soil test is needed.
So what I am asking for is advice and/or a heads up on any steps I may encounter for this new construction. Any and all feedback will be greatly appreciated.
