Still searching for your perfect lot? Richard Wallace Builder can help you find the ideal piece of land in a prime location that aligns with your vision. Our experienced team will meticulously evaluate your chosen lot, assessing its potential and identifying any necessary site work to ensure a smooth and successful building process. Whether you have a specific location in mind or need assistance in finding the perfect spot, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Lot Consideration

You have the lot but where it sits has a lot of influence on your future home! Designing with the land means harnessing its natural beauty to create a home that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. For a beachfront property, this might involve orienting the home to capture panoramic ocean views from key living spaces. Imagine waking up to the gentle rhythm of the waves from your bedroom window or enjoying your morning coffee while gazing out at the horizon from your kitchen sink. By thoughtfully considering the site’s unique features, we can create a home that not only complements its setting but also enhances your daily experience.

Key Considerations for Lot Owners

Before breaking ground, several factors must be considered. The size and shape of your lot will influence the type of home you can build. A sloping lot may require additional engineering and landscaping. Local zoning laws dictate building codes, setbacks and permitted uses. Ensuring that necessary utilities like water, sewer and electricity are available or can be easily connected is crucial. Understanding the soil type is vital for foundation design and landscaping. Environmental factors like flood zones, wildlife and potential hazards can also impact construction and future living.
