A home building or renovation project is something most homeowners will go through only once or twice in their lifetime, so for many, it is an unfamiliar process. How to assemble a team of competent consultants? When and why to hire a professional engineer or land surveyor? How to conduct a site evaluation of the property to assess the feasibility of the proposed construction? How to navigate the field of land mines known as the permitting process? How does the building code impact the remodeling project? What is the typical scope of professional services needed for a building construction project? These and many other questions need to be answered for the project to be successful. We prepared the quick checklist to get you started.
