New construction affords the buyer the freedom to customize the home and the land upon which it sits. However, future homeowners eager to seek out land and begin excavation should consider a few important factors. Weddle Enterprises of Somerset, KY, boasts decades of experience working on excavation sites. They can share insights on the site excavation that needs to be done before constructing a new home.

Here’s what needs to be considered before the shovel hits the dirt:

• Placement Of Existing & Future Utility Lines: Electrical, water, and sewage systems are necessary parts of a functional home, and the site needs to align with those existing lines. Utility work is one of Weddle Enterprises’ services. They understand zoning laws, and your project will benefit from the know-how of an experienced utility contractor.
• Point Of View: It’s nice to have the sun brighten up your home in the morning. If you want a certain quality of light in your home, it will need to be positioned to accommodate your desires.
• What Stays & What Goes: There may be certain landscape elements (trees, small hills, etc.) on your excavation site that you wish to either keep or remove by land clearing. This is more complex than it seems due to various local policies regarding clearing, burying, or burning trees and brush. You also don’t want to merely rip out trees and fill the land with loose soil, as this can result in settlement problems in the future.
