Build On Your Land

How It Works

Already own land, or found the homesite you want? Ken Harvey Homes will build there. Our Build on Your Land program includes site evaluation, permitting, and full construction management, so you're not left to piece it together on your own.

1. Initial Consultation

We'll talk through your goals, timeline, budget, and whether you already own land or are still searching.

2. Land Evaluation

Our team reviews your homesite to identify opportunities and potential considerations—topography, utilities, access, and more.

3. Plan Selection

Choose from our proven floor plans or work with us to customize a home that fits your lifestyle and your homesite.

4. Pricing & Proposal

We provide transparent pricing, including allowances and any site-related considerations.

5. Permitting & Site Preparation

We coordinate the details—from permits to preparing your land for construction.

6. Build & Delivery

Watch your home come to life with the quality and attention to detail Ken Harvey Homes is known for.

Land Evaluation

Is Your Land Ready to Build On?

Schedule Initial Consultation

Here are a few key factors we evaluate:

Homesite Size and Layout

We evaluate how your homesite's size, shape, and orientation impact what can be built—ensuring your home fits comfortably while maximizing privacy, views, and functionality.

Soil Conditions and Septic Requirements

We review soil quality and testing requirements to determine septic feasibility, system placement, and any potential limitations that could affect your home design or budget.

Well or City Water Access

We identify whether your property is served by city utilities or requires a private well, helping you understand availability, costs, and any necessary approvals.

Topography (Flat, Sloped, Wooded)

We assess the natural features of your land—whether flat, sloped, or wooded—to plan for grading, drainage, and how to best position your home on the site.

Setbacks, Easements, and Local Regulations

We review zoning requirements, setbacks, and any easements on the property to ensure your home is positioned correctly and fully compliant with local regulations.

HOA or Architectural Guidelines (if applicable)

If your homesite is within a community, we'll walk through any HOA or architectural requirements to make sure your home design aligns with all guidelines from the start.

What's Included (and What Varies)

We believe in setting clear expectations from the start so you can move from trees to keys with confidence.

Typically Included:

Home construction based on your selected plan
Project management and builder coordination
Warranty coverage on workmanship and materials
Permitting and inspections

Because these pieces are part of every build, you can count on the same level of craftsmanship and support no matter which homesite you choose, keeping your path from trees to keys consistent from day one.

Varies by Homesite:

Site preparation (clearing, grading)
Utility connections (well, septic, power)
Driveways and access improvements
Additional foundation or engineering requirements

Because no two homesites are the same, we’ll walk you through these details early—so there are no surprises later and your path from trees to keys stays clear.

Financing Your Build

Building on your own homesite is different from buying a move-in-ready home—but we’ll help you navigate it.

Common options include:

Construction-to-permanent loans
Using your land as equity
homesite + home financing packages

We’re happy to connect you with trusted lending partners who understand the process.

A Guided, Turnkey Process

From homesite evaluation to final walkthrough, we manage the details every step of the way—from trees to keys.

Flexible Design Options

From curated plans to fully custom homes, we meet you where you are.

Craftsmanship You Can See

Quality materials, thoughtful design, and attention to detail—built into every home.

Choosing the right builder makes all the difference

Experience Where It Matters

We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with building on private land. We have built many homes in gentrified neighborhoods, like North Ridge and North Hills areas, where our customers wanted to tear down their current home and rebuild on the homesite they already own.

Let's Talk About Your Land

Whether you already own property or are just starting your search, we're here to help you take the next step with confidence.

Every custom home begins with a thoughtful first step. We'll meet with you at the Ken Harvey Homes office to understand your vision, timeline, and property details.

When you're ready to move forward together, our team will walk your land in person—evaluating the homesite, identifying opportunities, and ensuring everything is in place to bring your home to life.
