How to choose a site for the house?
The first thing to start with is Google spreadsheets. The bottom line is that there are a lot of offers on the market, and for clarity and comparison of such offers it’s easier to keep a table. Important points for each of you will have their own, but here is the main list, which is most common: city, town, price, area, communications (gas, water, sewage, road), cadastre, terrain, contacts of the owner or realtor and yours comments. By ranking these parameters in the table, and not in the head, it will be much easier for you to choose exactly what suits you best.
The most important parameter when choosing is the size of the plot. It all depends on your habitual environment - someone wants and has the opportunity to build a house of 1000 m2, and for someone 100-150 m2 is enough. From practice - 100-150 m2 - 4 acres. If you are already planning to develop a territory + a bigger house, about 200-250 m2 - 10-15 acres.
After the size - Wednesday. Settle only for the environment that will be comfortable for you. By environment we mean the area of residence, accessible infrastructure, whether roads and logistics are well developed. We also want to note that it is necessary when meeting the object to get acquainted with neighbors and understand how much they like everything here. It will not be superfluous to check the quality of communication and power supply. It is important to understand where the nearest substation is, what power and how many phases you can allocate for a small house of 100 - 150 m2 about 10 kW. Further, deZZign experts recommend getting acquainted with the groundwater level. This parameter is very important for determining the type of foundation, the possibility of building a basement or basement.
When this is dealt with, it is necessary to clearly understand how you will heat the house, how water will be supplied to the house, whether there is a centralized sewage system.
Only after all these parameters suit you should you get acquainted with legal issues. Be sure to request copies of documents for the site, where it will be written in black and white that this site is intended for the construction and maintenance of a private house. It is also necessary to check this site for litigation and collateral.
And only when this is all right, you can safely begin to design and build your dreams, and we will happily bring your dream to life in deZZign!
