Land Assessment · a lot-readiness review
Research on what the county will require. A walk of the property with you. A written plan for where the house can go, and what it will roughly cost to get build-ready.
The offer
In one visit, know where your house can go, what the ground needs, what the county will require, and roughly what it will cost to get build-ready.
A flat fee, quoted up front before we start.
What’s included
Before the visit
Zoning and setbacks. Floodplain. Wetlands. Soils. Slope. Whether the county plans public water and sewer. Road frontage. The flags a builder looks for — forest conservation, Critical Area, the Bay Act — when they apply.
On site · 90–120 minutes
Corners where they’re marked. Candidate house sites. A driveway route and the sight lines. Drainage. Likely septic and well areas — not a perc test. Trees to keep. Power. Room for construction.
After
A sketch of the options. Access, water, septic, utilities. What triggers stormwater or erosion control. The permit list, in order. A rough cost range for each item, labeled as an estimate. Who else you need. A DigRight scope and price to get the lot build-ready.
Before you buy
If you’re under contract, book it before the deadline, not after you own the problem. Put the date on the form.
What it isn’t
Who does the walk
You get the person who will also be accountable for DigRight’s site work, not a handoff. Square One is the building company behind the standard. Distinct Build is the pre-designed house, if you want one after the ground is understood.
Yes. That’s part of the job. A report that only finds a way forward isn’t honest.
No. If the corners aren’t marked, we’ll say whether a survey should come before design. The assessment is not a survey.
Yes. Tell us who, so we leave enough time.
It’s a fee for the research, the walk, and the report. A flat fee, quoted up front before we start.
No. This form requests the visit. The fee is quoted before we start, and you don’t pay on this page.
