Custom Home Site Work Considerations
Custom home site work requires specialized attention to unique requirements:
- Precision Grading: Custom homes often require exact building pad elevations to match architectural designs. Our contractors achieve precise elevations within tight tolerances.
- Flood Zone Compliance: Many custom home sites are in flood zones, requiring specific elevations above base flood elevation (BFE) and proper drainage systems to meet FEMA and local requirements.
- Waterfront Considerations: Waterfront custom homes require special attention to erosion control, storm surge protection, and proper elevation above water levels.
- Sloped Sites: Custom homes on sloped lots require careful grading, retaining walls, and drainage to create level building pads while maintaining site stability.
- Tree Preservation: Many custom home sites have desirable trees that should be preserved. We coordinate selective clearing to protect trees when possible.
- High-End Finishes: Custom homes often have high-end landscaping and hardscaping that require proper site preparation and drainage to protect investments.
