The choice of the construction site

The site you choose may have some physical and legal limitations. It is interesting to get reliable information about those so that your plans do not become unpractical.

Location and Dimensions

Pay special attention to the aspects of distance from Downtown, safety, climate, as well as proximity to commerce, schools, bus services, and for the relation between the total area and the useful area that each construction should have in the site. It is important not to choose a site only based on its market value, since, if it is not the proper size, a great part of your project could be compromised. There should be at least a general idea of what is needed in the site and to have a tentative project with a schematic disposition of everything that must be included as well as the respective approximate dimensions of everything.

Physical Features

It is recommended that the site is visited by a qualified professional prior to the beginning of the project, so that the professional better orients with. Sometimes, a lot has low market value due to the proximity to marshy areas (rivers and lakes), which may result in a lot with low resistance or filled. This kind of land may bring problems to the foundations of the buildings, and could also be subject to floods.
