BUILDING SITE EVALUATION

Expert Site Feasibility & Evaluation for Custom Homes in California

At Custom Your Way Design, we bring far more to the table than just drafting blueprints. We are highly experienced at conducting site feasibility evaluations across California, a crucial first step for any new custom home project.

Before the first line is drawn, our experts meticulously analyze your California building site. This process determines the optimal placement, addresses potential challenges (like slope, zoning, and setbacks), and ensures your custom design is cost-effective and truly buildable.

Our deep understanding of California’s complex permitting requirements and diverse terrains—from coastal lots to mountain properties—means we save you time and money by planning for success from day one. When you partner with us, you are guaranteed an experienced, practical approach to custom home building that starts with a smart, detailed site evaluation.

Expert feasibitly for difficult conditions

Building a custom home on a challenging property requires specialized expertise. At Custom Your Way Design, we excel at conducting in-depth site feasibility evaluations for even the toughest conditions across California.

We’re highly experienced in designing homes for complex lots that many designers avoid, including:

Steep Slopes and Hillside Properties: Optimizing placement and foundation design for difficult terrain.
Beach and Coastal Lots: Navigating stringent regulations, setbacks, and high wind zones.
High Seismic and Wildfire Zones: Integrating resilient design elements and meeting strict local codes for safety.
Wetlands and Complex Soil Conditions: Successfully planning around environmental constraints and designing robust foundations.

Our rigorous site evaluation process saves you time and prevents costly surprises. We identify the specific permitting challenges of your California building site (geology, environmental constraints, local zoning) upfront, ensuring your custom house plan is not only beautiful but engineered for success.
