I would also consider using Swedish Framing rather than Western Platform framing (if stick building) or assembling the envelope using SIPs.The small bit of extra you would spend to effectively insulate and air-seal the building envelope will pay itself back in operating costs in relatively short order.The codes in this country should really require new builds to be much closer to (eventually at) a Passivhaus standard (perhaps Net Zero as a compromise).

How Do You Evaluate a Piece of Raw Land?

If you have to connect into sewer for instance and the owner next to you is not cooperating it can get very expensive to run alternative piping and a lift station etc. to make the project work.So most developers will get everything agreed in place and terms before they go "hard" with any non-refundable money.Otherwise one wrong thing happens and the project tanks and you lose your earnest money.As a developer you never let a seller hold your earnest money either.Even though by the contract they are obligated to give it back sometimes they already have spent the money or they make you take them to court and chase them to get the money back.This hinders your ability to now pursue other deals as you have money and time chasing people down.This is especially true in land assemblage for multiple parcels where you might have hundreds of thousands of dollars of earnest money on the line with multiple sellers.My experience working with a commercial developer for a few years and going to all the meetings and helping assemble the land.

Sourcing Crew Managers - Where To Look

I was going to suggest the same thing as Chris.We've done that on what I imagine is a much smaller scale than what Chris has probably done, but it's worked well, and has the extra advantage that the crew is accustomed to working together, so there's a lot less stepping on toes than you get with a new crew that you assemble yourself.
