In the classic Gone With The Wind, Scarlett O’Hara’s father, Gerald, famously said, that “land is the only thing in the world worth workin’ for, worth fightin’ for, worth dyin’ for, because it’s the only thing that lasts.”
When you’re ready to determine where your build site will be, the land needs a serious amount of attention. Since it can singlehandedly shift your building plans, land must be investigated, questioned, eyed from every angle. Not that it’s trying to trick you, but, unless you know how that land fits into your overall plan, it very well might.
So when you stand on that rolling hill or rocky cliff or soft valley and survey the future site of your building, make sure you have all the answers you’ll require to keep your project running smoothly. If you want help in your investigation, we suggest answering these questions:
