The field notes

The field notes are written from public sources. Each one names who checked it and where the facts came from, and each is made to be forwarded to a client.

Introducing a client

Use the same form as a client would and choose the realtor or partner option in step one. Say what you know about the land and how you would like to be involved.

Before your client writes on a lot

We will review a lot you are considering and advise on whether it is suitable, at no cost and before any agreement. That is a builder's opinion, not a survey, engineering, environmental, valuation, title or legal opinion.

Tell us about the land first

The form asks five questions about the project and the lot before it asks for your name. The first call is for fit: what the site needs, what you want, and whether we are the right builder for it. Dale reads every inquiry and answers within one business day.
