If you’ve already chosen your homesite, we can take you through to the finish line when we hand over the keys to the home you and your family have always dreamed of.

Building a home is tremendously rewarding, but is a complex and time-demanding undertaking. It can be overwhelming for the uninitiated but we have a talented staff and core of professional vendors and subcontractors that willingly and knowledgeably navigate the associated challenges daily. Prior to construction there are a myriad of things to research, consider and analyze. The challenges range from lot analysis (suitability for building/construct-ability, crawl or basement, site access, house positioning, site improvement/clearing requirements, utility locations/easements, etc), to permitting, to trade/vendor and product ordering/scheduling, to final building and lot inspections. Lady Street Builders’ experience and knowledge will help you get through all of that so you can begin creating the ideal place to live.

Items To Consider For Build On Your Own Lot Construction:

• Lot Clearing: Environmental & Sediment control; tree, stump, brush removal; culvert and construction driveway installation (state/county guidelines); easements; Architectural Review Board guidelines. Some determining factors include lay of the land; basement or crawl; well location; septic location; municipal guidelines.
• Surveyor: Building permit survey (lot, easements, well and septic locations, restrictions, & boundary reference), rough stake, good stake, brick point, and in some locales a final/physical survey.
• Water/Well: If water is provided by a municipality/water authority there are application and fee requirements. If a private well is the source of the water there are application and fee requirements via the local health department plus installation and testing requirements. The cost of a well is contingent upon well depth, gallons per minute, and the size of the pump and holding tank.
• Sewer/Septic: If sewer service is provided by a municipality there are application and fee requirements. If a septic system is to be installed on the site the soil must first be evaluated (perc) by a health department representative or Authorized On Site Evaluator. The number of bedrooms in the house must be known at the time of evaluation. Based on that analysis it is determined if a standard/convention septic system is appropriate or if an alternative system is required. An alternative system is typically three to five times more expensive than a conventional system.
• Electric Power Service: Cost is determined by the distance from the main power lines or pedestal. In remote areas this cost is affected by clearing/trenching
  requirements.
• Natural Gas Service: If available, the cost is determined by the distance from the road/tap-in point and is also affected by clearing/trenching requirements.
• Construction Financing: Lender will need to be consulted and help walk you through the intricacies of Construction Perm Financing. Lady Street Builders has cultivated a construction process that produces the highest quality homes both on-time and on-budget.
