Home Building Site Development
Choosing an experienced site developer is crucial to starting your home construction project on the right foot. Preparing a property involves navigating at least eight key tasks: Site Registration, Soil Logs, Septic Design, Site Plan Permit, Land Clearing, Utilities, Major Grading, and Tree Removal.
Selecting a developer with local expertise ensures that these elements are efficiently managed, helping your project stay on time and within budget.

Site Development Terms
Site registration is an essential step in the process of land development. It involves the necessary paperwork and documentation to establish legal ownership and use of a particular site.
Soil logs are an important part of site assessment, providing valuable information about the composition and stability of the soil.
Septic design is a crucial element in the development of any site that does not have access to a municipal sewer system. It involves designing and installing a septic system that meets local regulations and ensures proper waste management.
A Site plan is a detailed map or drawing that shows the layout of a site, including buildings, infrastructure, and other features. It serves as a blueprint for the development and construction process.
An excess permit may be required in certain cases when there is a need to exceed the standard limits or regulations for a particular development project.
Land clearing and site development involve the removal of vegetation and the preparation of the site for construction. This includes grading the land, leveling the surface, and making it suitable for building.
PSE (Puget Sound Energy) and water utilities are essential services that need to be connected to the site for proper functioning. This includes electricity, gas, and water supply.
Major grade work refers to significant earthmoving and leveling of the site. It may involve excavation, filling, and shaping the land to meet the desired specifications.
Tree removal may be necessary to clear the site and make way for development. This includes cutting down trees, removing stumps, and clearing the land from any obstacles that may hinder construction.
