Tip for avoiding big foundation mistake
Hello,
Just wanted to throw this out there. If you are building new construction or adding on and it will be VERY close to a lot line setback I would highly suggest having a professional surveyor mark exactly where the foundation can go to. I remember one house in a subdivision I was working in (at the time I wasn't in charge of the construction) the foundation ended up being 1/2" over the allowed space. When it came to closing there were big issues with the county over this. I don't remember exactly what had to take place but I know it wasn't pretty.
Hope that can save someone a lot of headache.
Greg
