Site Appraisal

A site appraisal is the technical assessment of a site for construction purposes. It provides an understanding of the site, the constraints, and the opportunities.

At what point is site appraisal needed?

Before buying land

When looking to buy land, you need a site appraisal BEFORE making an offer, to avoid making any decisions that could cost you down the track. • Building on a site you already own

We recommend seeking a site appraisal before you start looking at house plans. Phenom Homes can help you explore possibilities and identify any challenges unique to your site.
