Thank you for giving us an opportunity to earn your business!

This information has been put together to let you know some of the things that need to be completed before we can break ground!

Are you financing your new home with a bank? If so, you need to know what you are pre-qualified to borrow. You don’t want to waste your time looking for land or a house that is out of your budget. If you are financing the project yourselves, you will probably have a budget in mind already.

Here are a couple of Banks that have approved us as builders and that have great new construction loans.

Once you purchase your property to build on you will need a survey and it will need to be recorded. You should be able to identify who created the original survey by looking in the bottom right or bottom left corner of the survey. It should look something like this:

If you live in or around Cherokee County GA and do not have a survey, the surveyor above is our recommendation.

If it has been recorded it should have information like this in the upper left corner. If it has not been recorded, then you will need to contact your survey company and have them submit it electronically to the county for recording.

If your land requires a septic system, then you will eventually need a Soil Test. It is highly recommended that you get a soil test before you close on your property to make sure that it will accommodate a conventional septic system. Here are a few of our recommendations:

You will need to find out who the electrical company is that services your property. This can sometimes take a few phone calls. If you don’t have or don’t know if you have electricity at the property you may need to call to verify. In some cases, you will need to schedule an appointment with the engineer from the electric company to meet you at the property to determine what the options are and what the cost will be to bring electricity to the property. If there is electricity at the property location, you should call and get an account set up for that property address.
