You have to get down to basics. What will your workers need? A portable toilet and temporary electric service will make things more convenient for them. Prepare for the excavation, utilities and temporary driveway too while you cut off some trees and bushes that clogs the home building site. After the excavation, dont just stand there to watch the digging. Check for the empty hole so you wont have to reconstruct to all over after the lay out of foundation. Oversee the necessary trenches. Youll need one for your septic system, your gas, electric and telephone arrangements. Go over the requirements smoothly. Its better to dig now while its rough tan later when all things are already polished. This will save you time, effort and money.
