Home Building - Hire Professionals

"If I had a 3 acre wooded lot and want to build a 7000 sq ft house (living space) and have a swimming pool and lawn/gardens in keeping with a 7000 sq ft residence, approximately how much of the 3 acres would need to be clear cut?"

From: J.M.

Hi J.M.,

I have no idea.

There are too many variables and too many personal choices that have to be made by you.

What I would do, is hire the necessary professionals required to help me make this multifaceted decision.

These professionals would include:

1. The architect who drew my plans. (In most locales, large houses require an architect’s seal).

2. A professional, registered & insured land surveyor, who would draw the house, on paper, with my input as well as the architects', and with considerations for; topography, light, trees, distance from roads & neighbors, etc.

3. A professional landscape designer.

4. A professional Pool & Spa company.

That’s for starters, but you get the idea. Hire the professionals necessary to get a job done, including design and professional input.

This is what a General Contractor does.

Good luck,
Carl
