Your build planning checklist.

The property

Start with the place you expect to build.

I have a lot or a likely build location in mind. I can share the lot dimensions, survey, or other property details I have. I have some information about driveway access, power, water, and sewer or septic. Property notes (optional)

The home

A rough direction is enough to begin a conversation.

I have a rough heated square footage and room list in mind. I have a floor plan, sketch, or examples of homes I like. I can name the features that matter most, such as a garage, office, safe room, or outdoor space. Home notes (optional)

The scope and timing

These answers help shape a useful first discussion.

I know whether I want a complete build, a defined construction phase, a duplex, or a home and pool discussion. I have a working construction budget and an idea of how I would fund the project. I have a target season or approximate start date. Scope and timing notes (optional)
