Most site designs require grading and drainage, stormwater treatment and flow equalization, sediment and erosion control, domestic water connection and wastewater/septic treatment and disposal, and ALL of these require permits.
Permitting requires designs and blueprints or site-plans. If you are thinking about doing this so you can begin construction immediately after winter, contact me at (828) 393-5820 or engineer@tysongriswold.com, and we can get started with permitting this winter, when the weather doesn’t allow for efficient construction.
