Site work on this lot

No surprises. Here’s why.

Our Formal Property Analysis found all of this before they signed.

Step 1 of 1

Found before we started

Our architect and engineers checked this lot before we designed anything. Finding these early is how we avoid surprises during the build.

Longer utility runs (66 feet): Utility lines in the trench at one of our jobs

Longer utility runs (66 feet)

What we found during the FPA
Sewer, water and power lines had to run farther than usual.
How finding it early helped
We mapped the route and checked the sewer’s slope over that distance, then sized the pipe and wire for the length.
What it meant for this homeowner
The yard was dug once, and every line works the way it was planned.

Upgraded electrical panel

What we found during the FPA
The electrical panel had to power two homes.
How finding it early helped
Our load calculation showed what the panel could carry, so any upgrade and the utility’s scheduling started early, not after the walls went up.
What it meant for this homeowner
Power for both homes from day one, with no wait on the utility.

What we found during the FPA
The existing sewer line needed a camera check before the ADU could tie in.
How finding it early helped
The camera showed the line’s condition before we connected, so any repair was planned in, not found under a new yard.
What it meant for this homeowner
A sewer line ready for two homes, and a finished yard left alone.
