Embarking on the journey of building your home on your own lot is both thrilling and filled with challenges. At Triple Crown Homes, we understand the complexities involved and are committed to providing you with the guidance you need. As part of our commitment to transparency and making your home building experience E.A.S.Y (Ease of Access, Accountable, Safeguard your investment, You), we offer insider tips tailored to your unique situation.
These tips are designed to ensure that you’re well-prepared before breaking ground, allowing you to navigate the process with confidence and peace of mind:
Soil Conditions and Site Clearing: It is crucial to understand soil conditions and clearing requirements upfront. We’ll assess whether your lot needs more site work than average and adjust the site work allowance accordingly.
Septic System Considerations: Some counties may require enhanced septic systems. We’ll discuss this possibility and ensure your plans align with local regulations.
Access to Fill Dirt: On larger parcels, access to on-site fill dirt can streamline the construction process. We’ll explore this option to maximize efficiency.
Water and Power Access: If your property relies on central water, we’ll confirm if a line needs to be brought to the house. Similarly, we’ll evaluate power access to avoid delays or additional costs.
Geographical Considerations: While we primarily build in Marion County, we extend our services to parts of Levy, Citrus, and Lake Counties. We prioritize accessibility over distance, ensuring smooth construction processes.
Securing Land/Home Packages: Don’t have land yet? No problem. We offer “Land/Home packages” to simplify the process and bring your dream home to life seamlessly.
Key Questions for Your Lot: As you consider building on your own lot, here’s a checklist to guide your discussions:
1. Location: Where is your land located?
2. Size: What is the size of your lot?
3. Ownership: Do you own the land outright?
4. Utilities: Do you need a well and septic system?
5. Condition: Is the land cleared and relatively flat?
6. Survey: Do you have a survey, and is it current?
7. Soil Conditions: What are the soil conditions like? Sandy soil is ideal for construction.
