Lot And Site Costs For Custom Homes
Many homeowners underestimate how much the lot itself changes the build. A beautiful plan on the wrong lot can blow up the budget fast.
Common site-cost drivers
Slope, drainage, septic vs sewer, utility distance, clearing, retaining walls, and driveway length can all add material cost before the house shell even starts.
Why this matters
If you ignore site assumptions early, builder quotes can look artificially low and become far more expensive later.
