Custom Homes Built Around Your Vision

Building a custom home is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming without the right builder by your side. That is where Lady Street Builders stands apart. Our knowledgeable team, trusted vendors, and skilled subcontractors work together daily to simplify the process and keep your project moving forward smoothly.

We help homeowners navigate every detail involved in building on their lot, including:

• Crawl space and basement considerations
• Site access and clearing requirements
• Utility locations and easements
• Permitting and inspections
• Product selections and scheduling
• Vendor and subcontractor coordination

Our experience helps eliminate stress while ensuring your custom home is built with quality craftsmanship, attention to detail, and lasting value.

A Hands-On Building Experience

At Lady Street Builders, communication is a priority. Throughout construction, we conduct important on-site meetings to keep you informed and involved every step of the way. These meetings may include:

• Pre-construction meetings
• Pre-drywall walkthroughs
• Hardware and finish selections
• Landscaping discussions
• Additional project meetings as needed

We believe building your home should feel exciting and rewarding — not confusing or stressful.

Items To Consider For Build-On-Your-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.
