What does a site appraisal contain?
We will visit you on site and help you assess:
- What access is like to the site - is it easy for abuilding team to access? Sites with limited access can have hidden building costs
- If the section has any slope or contour issues - this is incredibly important to review right from the start
- If the site has any obstacles that need to be removed or allowed for - e.g. trees, existing dwellings, and more
- If there are services connected to the site, or if these need to be installed
- How the site is orientated to the sun, and how you could best position a house on the site
- If any excavations or ground-works are required - these will need to be factored into your budget
- Any resource consents that might be required
- How you could bring your design ideas and dreams to life
When is the right time to get a site appraisal?
