Getting the Most Out of Your General Contractor

If you are thinking about hiring a general contractor, you should read my blog before you pick up the phone or send that email. I am not a general contractor myself, but I have just finished restoring my home. It was a big project that involved working with multiple contractors over an extended period of time. Although I am not a professional, I learnt an awful lot about how to get the most out of a team of contractors and how to keep a project on schedule and under budget. I also learnt a thing or two about the work they were carrying out.

Why it pays to get help with your subdivision

by Kurt Lawson

If you own a large piece of land, you can often realise more value from the property by splitting it into subdivisions and creating a number of smaller lots. One of the reasons why more landowners do not take advantage of the benefits that creating land subdivisions can bring is that they believe that the process of creating subdivisions is too complex and time consuming to make it worth their while. It's true that creating land subdivisions can be complex at times and dealing with all of the servicing authorities can take time, but these aren't things that you have to do on your own.

Don't risk working alone

It is possible to complete a subdivision process on your own but why take up so much of your valuable time when a professional could complete the subdivision work for you? Someone with experience with land subdivisions will know exactly who they should be talking to at every step of the journey. They will know which forms they need to complete and how to ask the right questions to ensure that the Planning Commission and the local government have the right information at the right time. Trying to complete a subdivision on your own is taking risks that you don't need to take. Why not be guided by someone who has completed the process many times and can ensure that you maximise the potential of your property?

Enjoy the benefits of professional help

Arranging land subdivisions doesn't have to be stressful for you. By hiring a qualified professional to do all the work involved in creating the subdivisions, you can relax and enjoy the benefits while someone else handles the tricky arrangements with the local authorities and servicing authorities.

A skilled professional will have the experience to know the true potential of your property. They will research the property and ensure a proper survey is undertaken to discern the best way to divide the lots. They will see what restrictions may have been placed on the use of the land and how these can be best overcome to ensure that your land subdivisions generate the needed income for you. They will be able to take you through the subdivision process step by step guiding you through the process of getting subdivision approval from the Planning Commission and the required quotes from the power and water companies for all the work they will need to complete. They will guide you through all the details of the subdivision until you are finally able to collect your new property titles and sell off the individual lots.
