Lot Excavation
Link to www.SayBuild.com/SayImprove for information on site preparation
Site Preparation: Define the Rules

Your Construction Specification Plan should include a complete layout of your property lot with surveyed dimensions and property boundary lines. Make a copy of the layout and define the rules of excavation. Your architect or builder can assist you with this project.
Layout Size List any size requirements for your house. Define your type of garage front entry, side-entry, rear-entry, detached, or drive-under access. View the physical features of your lot. Note any rocks, trees, water-front view, or other desirable or undesirable views that your designer must consider.
Setbacks Allow for plenty of room for front, back and side. Outline where you want the driveway (about 10 feet wide or more) and turnaround space if sideor rear-entry garages (about 30 feet).
Easements Check with your planning board for easement restrictions. Many communities require 5-10 feet easement along the side and rear of the property for utility lines, water drainage, and neighborhood boundaries. An easement may also be required for a walkway. Extra Requirements Note any extra space for parking, recreation vehicles, detached garage, or other outdoor buildings. Will there be a swimming pool, tennis court, or other recreational area? Tag the Trees Tag any trees that you want to remain standing. It may cost you more since excavators must work around them. But it is worth the extra price.
House Situated Discuss with your architect or builder how you would like the home situated. Consider options on how to gain the most desirable view and privacy. Water Drainage Understand how rain water flows through your lot. You want to channel the water away from the house.
Identify Location of Utilities Make sure you flag underground utility lines. You will be responsible for any damage.
Remove Trash Check that all trash, debris, and tree stumps are removed and cleared from the property.
Spec Plan C:
Foundation
Link to www.SayBuild.com/SayImprove for information on site foundations
Foundation Options
Slab Foundation Least expensive. Property must graded relatively flat. Consists of poured concrete slap with depth to support interior walls. Generally suited for warmer climates. To get the foundation up off the ground in wet areas, you may consider a Raised Slab Foundation. Raised Slab Foundation consists of reinforced concrete block some 3 feet tall, interior back-filled with sand, and concrete slap poured as the floor system. more information at: http://www.howstuffworks.com/house4.htm Crawlspace Foundation Generally preferred for most homes especially if the lot slopes. Allows for utility, and sewage lines under the home. Consists of reinforced concrete block some 3 feet tall around the perimeter of the home with structural piers located under load bearing points. more information at: http://www.howstuffworks.com/house6.htm Basement Foundation Most expense type foundation. Can be used as additional working or storage space. Find lots that slope up from front to back to avoid excessive fill or steps in the front of the home. Define type of basement: walk-out daylight basement or cellar type Will your basement be finished or unfinished. more information at: http://www.howstuffworks.com/house5.htm Chimney Describe type of chimney and number based on the number of open fireplaces in your home. Note that gas-only fireplaces do not require a chimney. more information at: http://www.SayBuild.com/exterior/ Termite Infestation Test your foundation for termites. Eradicate any infestations prior to laying your foundation. more information at: http://www.SayBuild.com
Spec Plan D: Type Framing
Framing
Link to www.SayBuild.com/SayImprove for information on framing
Wood Framing Wood framing most commonly used in home construction. Plenty of skilled contractors with wood framing experience. Can be easily cut and fitted. Preferable for interior design when hanging fixtures and decorations.
Steel Framing Steel framing growing in popularity, especially in tornado and hurricane prone areas. Stronger than wood. Can withstand some wind surges. Resistant to fire, mildew and molds, and wood-eating insects. Geometrically perfect for corners and window/door frames. Skilled contractors may be limited in your area.
Framing Considerations Once the framing starts, it can become very expensive for a structural change. It is very important that you plan your home up-front before framing: See size dimensions page 3 Plan for all doors. Plan for all windows. Plan for all closets and ample storage areas. Plan for all room dimensions. Plan for all fireplaces Plan for all outside venting systems Plan for all stairways and home entry.
Inspect spacing for HVAC, plumbing, and utility lines. more information at: http://www.SayBuild.com
