Lot Clearing
Lot Clearing and New Construction Site Preparation
The first step in the actual construction of your new home or business is site preparation.
Site preparation consists of clearing away the trees, rocks and other obstructions from your building site, doing whatever rough grading is necessary.
Before you begin, go over again the things that will affect or be affected by the placement of your home on this lot:
- Setbacks and Easements
- Topography (slopes)
- Views
- Driveway
- The Sun’s Exposure
- Trees you want to keep
- Well and Septic Tank Location
- Your Relationship to other houses in the area/neighborhood
- Distances you’ll have to run utility lines to hook up with municipal services
