On
Your Own Lot - Taking Pride In Every Home We Build
Liberty Homes offers you years of On Your Own Lot experience;
we have been building homes for our customers on their own
land for over a decade. What could be more personally rewarding
than having your house built on your own property? Let us
build your dream home.
Building
a home is tremendously rewarding but is a complex and time-demanding
undertaking. It can be overwhelming for the uninitiated
but we have a talented staff and core of professional vendors
and sub-contractors that willingly and knowledgeably navigate
the associated challenges daily.
Prior
to construction there are a myriad of things to research,
consider and analyze. The challenges range from lot analysis
(suitability for building/constructability, crawl or basement,
site access, house positioning, site improvement/clearing
requirements, utility locations/easements, etc), to permitting,
to trade/vendor and product scheduling, to final building
and lot inspections. Again, Liberty Homes Inc. is well staffed
to perform and coordinate all these activities.
Our
personnel are experienced in the many administrative matters
required prior to commencement of construction including
plat survey requests, soil engineering, house plan design
and drafting, health and building permit application, and
utility service 
application.
We are a value builder. Our processes are efficient and
we affiliate with a variety of sub-contractors who, like
us, are focused on economically completing all phases and
tasks from the ground up and from the walls in.
House
construction requires an understanding of code requirements
and a significant amount of interface with the local municipality,
utility providers, engineers, and a plethora of vendors
and sub-contractors. Our comprehensive approach to the On
Your Own Lot (OYOL) program ensures timely success by professionally
engaging all facets of the construction process from the
customer's dream to hand-over of the front door key of the
customer's dream home.
Items
to consider for On Your Own Lot construction:
-
Lot
Clearing: Environmental & Sediment control; tree,
stump, brush removal; culvert and construction driveway
installation (state/county guidelines); easements; Architectural
Review Board guidelines.
-
House
site: Some determining factors include lay of
the land; basement or crawl; well location; septic location;
municipal guidelines.
Surveyor: Building permit survey (lot, easements,
well and septic locations, restrictions, & boundary reference),
rough stake, good stake, brick point, and in some locales
a final/physical survey.
-
Water/Well:
If water is provided by a municipality/water authority
there are application and fee requirements. If a private
well is the source of the water there are application
and fee requirements via the local health department plus
installation and testing requirements. The cost of a well
is contingent upon well depth, gallons per minute, and
the size of the pump and holding tank.
-
Sewer/Septic:
If sewer service is provided by a municipality there are
application and fee requirements. If a septic system is
to be installed on the site the soil must first be evaluated
(perc) by a health department representative or Authorized
On Site Evaluator. The number of bedrooms in the house
must be known at the time of evaluation. Based on that
analysis it is determined if a standard/convention septic
system is appropriate or if an alternative system is required.
An alternative system is typically three to five times
more expensive than a conventional system.
-
Electric Power Service: Cost is determined
by the distance from the main power lines or pedestal.
In remote areas this cost is affected by clearing/trenching
requirements.
-
Natural
Gas Service: If available, the cost is determined
by the distance from the road/tap-in point and is also
affected by clearing/trenching requirements.
