Developing an untouched and
un-serviced site calls on an array of specialized skills and knowledge
that few people have cause to develop. As a building designer
specializing in new homes and cottages, working in semi-rural settings
for more than 10 years, we have been involved with the development of
dozens of building sites, varying in size from large urban lots to
plots of 160 acres or more.
Ideally, we are brought into the
project early on, sometimes even before the land has been purchased. In
that way we are able to help our clients ask the important questions
that will define and refine their vision, not just for a new home, but
a change in lifestyle too. Then we work together to choose the
property, making sure it has all the features they want and that it is
within their means to buy and develop.
To help take some of the mystery out
of the process, BC Mountain Homes offers a site development
consultancy service to anyone who has purchased, or is
contemplating purchasing, land on which to build. We invite you to contact us directly to
discuss your
needs.
In addition, we are pleased to include
here a series of previously-published articles which take anyone
contemplating the purchase of rural property through the various steps
involved, from choosing and purchasing land, through to preparing a
development plan and obtaining house plans. Throughout, the goal is to
help people "find their place in the country".
Finding your place in the country can
mean a number of things. It's finding the right type of property in
the right location. It's understanding what needs to be done to make it
habitable. And it's about feeling comfortable and at home there when
the work is finished because good decisions have been made all along.
We hope that the articles will shed light on all of these aspects.
