The construction of your new home will be a smooth process, if you're prepared.
While each installation may have its own special circumstances,
below we have listed the most common things you will need to get,
pay for, or have us assist you with to complete the initial process.

Things for the PlanCheck process:

Newest Grant Deed with correct owners name and easements recorded.
Site plan with house, garage, power, septic or sewer, lot APN#, lot size, and elevations all drawn to scale and located in its proper and final place.
If septic system, Perc Test will need to be done.
If sewer system, there will be additional sewer connection fees and possible road construction costs if the line is not already to the property.
For lot drainage, a TOPO (aerial map with lot elevations) Map will need to be done.
A boundary survey of the lot will need to be done and staked. If a survey of that lot has never been done, then it will need to be recorded in that county.
A soils test is often required, especially in an area of expansive soil or in
Los Angeles County.
Water letter from water supplier if not city or county. If so, a fee will be required.
We will need a minimum of 5 sets of house plans (and garage if needed) with wet stamp by civil engineer. Sets include all house plans, structural calcs, energy Title 24 calcs, and install manuals (if required).
Planning Department Fees
Building and Safety Fees
Library Fees
School Fees
Fire Department Fees (if required)
Possible street improvement fees


The process begins with our "On-Site Inspection" ($500) where we will review this list
with you, and answer any questions you may have about the need for any of these items.

[On-site Inspection Fee is non-refundable. PlanCheck Fee is non-refundable once work begins.]
