Joshua Tree / Yucca Valley Home Development

Hey guys!

I recently purchased some land in Joshua tree, CA. I would like to begin developing on it as soon as possible. I am in works with an architect who should have my drafts done in a week or so. My land is connected to water and electricity as well. My question is for the home developers, what early steps did you take prior to submitted you designs/drafts to the city? What inspections were needed and tests had to be completed?

Survey and percolation testing for the installation of a septic tank.  This company does much of those tests: http://www.ampacpercolationtes...  They'll need a site plan in order to establish the location for the tank.  We have sandy soil which is generally positive for percolation tests.  Good luck.
