LESSON 5 — ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS (THE PART MOST BUYERS NEVER CONSIDER)


Expansion often requires:

  • Civil engineering plans
  • Environmental studies (wetlands, flood plains)
  • Soil testing
  • Stormwater management plans
  • Erosion control plans
  • Traffic studies
  • Architectural drawings (for cabins, bathhouses, clubhouses)

No builder will break ground without stamped engineering.

These plans alone can cost:

$15,000–$100,000 before the first shovel hits the ground.
