The Pre-Design Phase / Site Analysis

Site Analysis Overview

A thorough site analysis is crucial whether you're embarking on a new home construction or planning a remodel or renovation. It offers invaluable information about your property and its surrounding environment, helping you make well-informed decisions throughout the entire process. Rest assured – you don't need to be an expert in land surveying or building inspections. With the support of professionals, you'll be able to uncover all the necessary details.

There may be times when certain parts of the land aren’t useable, or it may be particularly expensive to construct an access road or modify your existing home. However, that’s exactly what site analysis is for. It enables you to optimize your land or property, identify the perfect building site or renovation area, and ensure your home is set up for its future role of taking care of you and your loved ones (and hosting memorable dinner parties and birthdays).

To make sure that you've carefully thought through the many facets of the land your home will sit on, or the existing structure you're renovating, we'll discuss the following:

  • Understanding site conditions
  • Considering property access
  • Your neighborhood
  • Your home's natural environment
  • State and local taxes
  • Insurance
  • Transportation and commuting

By investigating these areas, you can comprehend the potential limitations and advantages of your current site or home, and how these may influence your new construction or renovation plans. This will ensure that your home construction or renovation project is not only successful but also maximizes your property's potential and enhances your living environment.
