The Steps Explained

Let’s take a closer look at those steps and clear up any details you should know about them.

STEP 1: Staking the Lot and House (1–3 hours)

The number one problem that occurs when building is the placement of the house on the lot. Staking is vitally important in the early stages of the building process. Since this is most likely the first house you have ever built, I recommend hiring a registered surveyor/engineer to stake both the lot and the position of the house. If you can, use the surveyor or survey company that did any previous survey of the property. It is less expensive for a surveyor to resurvey a property than to do an initial survey because it takes less time.
