How to Choose Land for a New Home Build in Virginia

Austin Tatom — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 16:36:58 GMT

Quick answer: To choose land for a new home in Virginia, check five things before you buy: legal road access, water (public or well), sewer or septic feasibility, available power, and zoning that allows a home. Then walk the site for slope, drainage, and placement. If the property will require septic, discuss an appropriate soil-evaluation or septic contingency with your real estate and legal advisers. Talking to a builder before you buy can also help identify construction questions early.

If you are planning to build, the land is the foundation of the whole project, literally and financially. A great lot makes everything smoother. A problem lot can cost you tens of thousands in surprises or stop the build before it starts. The frustrating part is that great lots and problem lots often look identical from the road, and listing photos will not tell you which one you are looking at. Here is how to tell the difference before your money is on the line.

Why the land comes first

It is tempting to fall for a floor plan first and a lot second, but buildability should come first. A proven plan can make the home itself more predictable, while the land introduces parcel-specific variables. Two nearby properties can require very different levels of site work because of soil, access, utilities, drainage, and topography. Careful due diligence helps reduce avoidable surprises.

The five "buildability" checks, in detail

1. Road access

You need legal, physical access to the homesite, such as deeded road frontage or a recorded easement. Informal permission to use a neighboring road may not provide durable legal access. Have the deed, plat, and any recorded easement reviewed by the appropriate real estate or legal professional. Long private drives may also create ongoing maintenance and winter-access responsibilities.

2. Water

Is there a public water connection at the road, or will you drill a well? Well cost and feasibility vary by depth, geology, contractor, and location. Nearby well records may provide an early reference point, and the applicable health department or records office may have additional information.

3. Sewer or septic

No public sewer usually means a septic system, and septic feasibility depends on the property. A soil evaluation or perc test can help determine what type of system the site may support. System type and cost depend on soil, design, permitting, and site conditions, and alternative systems may cost more than conventional systems. Consider discussing an appropriate soil-evaluation or septic contingency with your real estate and legal advisers before purchasing.

4. Power

Check how far electricity has to run to reach the homesite. A parcel with power at the road is simple. A homesite 800 feet back through the trees means paying the utility per foot of extension, and the number climbs fast.

5. Zoning

Make sure the parcel allows a single-family home, and check minimum lot size, setbacks, and any restrictions from an HOA or recorded covenants. Around lakes, add shoreline setbacks. Contact the applicable local planning or zoning office and obtain professional guidance for parcel-specific restrictions.

Reading the site itself

Then walk the land, ideally after a hard rain. A steep slope can mean costly grading and retaining walls, or it can mean a walkout basement and a view, and the difference is placement. Low, wet spots signal drainage issues; standing water where your foundation would go is the land telling you something. Notice the trees: clearing a wooded homesite has a cost, but mature trees at the edge of a clearing are the kind of thing money cannot buy later. Picture where the home would sit, where the driveway runs, how the sun hits in the morning, and what you would see from the porch. You are not just checking a parcel, you are auditioning a life.

Red flags worth walking away from

Some land constraints can be addressed through additional design or site work, while others may make a parcel impractical. Examples that warrant additional investigation include: no legal access and a neighbor unwilling to grant an easement; a failed perc test with no viable alternative system; floodplain across the only sensible homesite; covenants that prohibit what you want to build; and an unwillingness to allow adequate due diligence. Treat these as signals to investigate further with the appropriate professionals before proceeding.

What site work really costs

Budget realistically from the start: well, septic, driveway, clearing, grading, utilities, and other site conditions can materially change the overall project cost. A flat, open parcel with utilities near the homesite will generally involve different site-work requirements than a wooded or sloped parcel with a long driveway. Include site work as a separate part of the project budget alongside the land and home.

Our cost-to-build guide shows how it all stacks into a full project budget.

Protecting yourself in the offer

When you find a promising parcel, consider structuring the purchase to allow appropriate due diligence. Depending on the property, that may include a satisfactory soil evaluation, survey, title review, or other inspections. Ask the seller for available records such as prior soil evaluations, surveys, plats, and well logs. Due-diligence periods and contingencies are negotiable, so work with your real estate and legal advisers to choose terms appropriate for the property.

Talk to a builder before you buy

The single best move is to bring a builder in before you close, not after. A builder who knows local permitting can spot red flags you would miss, sanity-check the site-work budget, and tell you where the house wants to sit. Our $100 on-site visit is designed for this stage: we walk the property with you, discuss potential placement and feasibility questions, and help identify items that may require further investigation. You can share the listing before making an offer so the team can provide preliminary, non-engineering observations about the property.

Frequently asked questions

What makes land buildable?

Legal road access, a water source, a workable sewer or septic solution, available power, and zoning that allows a home.

What is a perc test and do I need one?

A soil evaluation helps determine whether the ground can support a septic system and what type may be feasible. If the parcel has no public sewer, discuss an appropriate soil-evaluation or septic contingency with your real estate and legal advisers.

How much should I budget for site work?

Site-work costs vary substantially based on the well, septic, driveway, clearing, grading, utilities, access, and other parcel-specific conditions.

Should I talk to a builder before buying land?

Yes. A builder can identify potential construction questions, provide preliminary site-work observations, and help you understand what should be investigated before you commit.

How Long Does It Take to Build a Semi-Custom Home in Richmond, VA?

Austin Tatom — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 16:36:50 GMT

Quick Answer: Building an NBS home in Virginia typically involves about two months of pre-construction after signing, followed by roughly eight months of construction. In practical terms, many buyers should plan for around 10 months from contract to completion, although land conditions, financing, permits, and county approvals can extend the schedule.

This guide separates the timeline into clear stages, explains what happens during each one, and shows where a prepared buyer can help keep the project moving.

The Typical NBS Home-Building Timeline

The typical NBS home-Building timeline lasts around 10 months from signing the contract to completion.

Contract to Groundbreak: Approximately 60 Days

After the contract is signed, NBS Homes works through the steps required to prepare the project for construction. Depending on the property, this period may include:

Final homesite review
Financing and lender requirements
Required testing
Plan and finish selections
Permitting
Scheduling
Coordination of sitework and utilities

The 60-day target is most realistic when the property is already buildable, ownership is clear, financing is underway, and no subdivision or unusual approvals are required.

Some projects take longer before construction can begin. Land that still needs to be subdivided, surveyed, tested, or approved may extend the pre-construction period.

Groundbreak to Completion: Approximately Eight Months

Once construction begins, an NBS home typically takes about eight months to complete.

During that time, the project moves through site preparation, foundation work, framing, mechanical rough-ins, insulation, drywall, finishes, inspections, punch-list work, and final handoff.

Weather, inspections, material availability, and site conditions can affect individual milestones. NBS’s repeatable floor plans and established trade schedules are designed to reduce unnecessary uncertainty and keep the overall process moving efficiently.

Why One Builder May Say Eight Months While Another Buyer Says a Year

The difference usually comes down to the starting point.

One builder may be describing the time from groundbreak to completion. A homeowner may be counting from the first conversation, land purchase, or loan application.

Both timelines can be accurate.

When comparing builders, ask what the quoted timeline includes. Does the clock begin at:

The first call
Contract signing
Permit approval
Groundbreak
Foundation
Framing

At NBS Homes, the working timeline separates pre-construction from active construction so buyers have a clearer picture of the full process.

Why a Semi-Custom Timeline Is More Predictable

A fully custom home begins with a blank page. The floor plan, engineering, pricing, and many material decisions are made for the first time.

That flexibility may be right for buyers who need a one-of-a-kind home, but it can also add time, decisions, and uncertainty.

A semi-custom home begins with a proven plan that has already been built, priced, and refined. Buyers can personalize certain finishes and features without redesigning the house from the ground up.

That repeatable process helps in several ways:

Plans are already developed
Common construction questions have already been addressed
Pricing is more established
Materials can be planned earlier
Trade schedules are more familiar
Buyers face fewer last-minute decisions

NBS Homes also keeps key construction expertise in-house, including plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and gas fitting. The goal is to remove avoidable unknowns.

What Happens Before Construction Starts?

The construction timeline does not begin the day you first call a builder. Before anyone breaks ground, the team has to confirm that the land, plan, budget, financing, and permits can work together.

1. The First Conversation

The process starts with your goals, budget, preferred location, and the land you own or are considering. You do not have to own property before talking with NBS Homes. In many cases, talking to a builder before buying land can prevent an expensive mistake.

2. The $100 On-Site Visit

A project manager walks the property with you and reviews the likely homesite, access, slope, utilities, well and septic needs, driveway route, and other conditions that may affect feasibility or cost.

This is a preliminary review, not a substitute for formal testing, engineering, surveying, or county approval. Its purpose is to help identify questions early and give the project a more informed starting point.

3. Financing and Floor Plan Selection

Most build-on-your-land buyers use a construction-to-permanent loan. Getting pre-qualified early helps you understand what fits the full project budget, including the home, sitework, utilities, and other property-related costs.

NBS offers four proven semi-custom plans:

Heritage
Pinnacle
Summit
Legacy

Choosing from an established plan helps reduce the design time and pricing uncertainty that often come with a fully custom home.

4. Contract, Selections, Feasibility, and Permitting

After the plan and preliminary scope are clear, the project moves through contract, required property testing, final pricing, selections, permits, and lender requirements.

Some of these steps may overlap. Others depend on one another.

Incomplete decisions, property questions, or missing lender documents can slow the steps that follow, which is why early preparation matters.

Pre-Construction Step	What it helps answer
Initial conversation	Does the project fit your goals, budget, and NBS program?
On-site visit	What can the property likely support?
Financing	What total investment fits your loan and cash plan?
Feasibility and permits	What must be approved before construction?
Selections	Which finishes and upgrades need to be ordered?

The Home Construction Timeline, Phase by Phase

Once NBS breaks ground, the physical build typically takes about eight months. Individual phases may overlap, and weather or inspections can move specific milestones, but the work generally follows this order.

Site Preparation and Foundation

The team clears and grades the homesite, establishes access, prepares utility routes, excavates, and builds the foundation. This stage is especially sensitive to soil, slope, drainage, and weather because the work is exposed.

Framing and Dry-In

Framing gives the home its shape.

Roof components, sheathing, windows, exterior doors, and weather barriers follow. Once the house is dried in, more work can continue without every rain event controlling the schedule.

This is one of the most visible parts of the process because the home begins to look like the plan the buyer selected.

Plumbing, Electrical, HVAC, and Other Rough-Ins

Before the walls are closed, the systems that make the home function are installed.

This phase may include:

Plumbing lines
Electrical wiring
HVAC ductwork
Gas components where applicable
Required rough-in inspections

Each trade has to work in the correct sequence, so coordination matters.

Insulation and Drywall

After rough-in approvals, insulation is installed, and drywall begins. The drywall is hung, finished, sanded, and prepared for paint. At this point, the home starts to feel less like a construction site and more like a finished interior.

Interior and Exterior Finishes

Cabinetry, flooring, countertops, trim, paint, plumbing fixtures, lighting, appliances, siding, porches, and other finishes move the home toward completion.

Decisions made earlier in the process matter here. Late changes can affect material orders, labor, pricing, and the sequence of work.

Final Inspections, Punch List, and Move-In

The home completes final inspections and receives any required occupancy approval. The project team addresses punch-list items, reviews the home with the buyer, and prepares for closing and key handoff.

What Can Delay a New Home Build?

The house is only one part of the schedule. The property, paperwork, weather, and buyer decisions can all affect timing.

Land and site conditions. A failed perc evaluation, unexpected rock, steep access, drainage challenges, or a long utility run can change the work required.
Permitting and inspections. Review times and inspection availability vary by county and workload.
Weather. Heavy rain and freezing conditions affect excavation, concrete, grading, and exterior work more than interior phases.
Financing. Missing documents, appraisal questions, or lender conditions can hold up contract milestones or draws.
Late selections or changes. Changing a finish after it is ordered may affect materials, labor, pricing, and sequence.
Material availability. A backordered specialty item can delay the work that depends on it.

A realistic schedule includes coordination time. We work hard to identify risks early, communicate clearly, and keep one delayed item from surprising everyone later.

How Buyers Can Help Keep the Process Moving

Buyers cannot control the weather or county review times, but they can help prevent avoidable delays.

Talk to the Builder Before Buying Land

A conversation with NBS Homes can reveal property questions worth answering before you close on a parcel.

That may include access, septic suitability, utility availability, setbacks, slope, or likely sitework costs.

Start Financing Early

Ask the lender what documents, appraisals, equity requirements, and closing steps will be needed.

Construction financing can involve more moving parts than a standard home purchase, so early preparation matters.

Complete Selections on Schedule

Making decisions on time gives the team a better chance to order materials and schedule trades without interruption.

Respond Quickly

A delayed approval, signature, or lender document can hold up the next step.

Prompt communication helps keep the project from waiting on an answer.

Avoid Mid-Build Changes

Changes during construction can affect pricing and schedule, even when they appear minor.

The guardrails in our semi-custom process are intended to protect both.

Ask What the Timeline Includes

Whenever a builder gives you a timeline number, confirm where the clock starts and where it ends.

An eight-month construction timeline is different from an eight-month timeline beginning with the first phone call.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Timeline to Build a House in Virginia

How long does it take to build a house in Virginia?

For an NBS home, the timeline is approximately 60 days from contract to groundbreak, followed by about eight months of construction. Projects involving subdivision, extensive testing, unusual site conditions, financing delays, or additional approvals may take longer before construction begins.

Does the eight-month timeline include permitting?

No. The working eight-month timeline refers to construction after groundbreak. Property review, financing, selections, feasibility work, and permitting happen during the pre-construction period.

Can weather delay construction?

Yes. Site work, concrete, grading, roofing, and other exterior phases are weather-sensitive. Once the house is dried in, more work can continue indoors.

Is a larger house always slower to build?

Not necessarily. Size matters, but site conditions, complexity, material availability, decisions, inspections, and trade coordination can matter just as much.

Can I help speed up the process?

You can help avoid preventable delays by starting financing early, completing selections on time, responding quickly, and limiting changes once construction begins.

Should I contact NBS before I own land?

Yes. Talking with NBS while you are still evaluating land can help you identify important questions before you buy. A preliminary conversation does not replace formal testing or legal review, but it can help you understand what to investigate next.

Know What Your Land Can Support Before the Clock Starts

The most useful timeline is the one built around your actual property, plan, financing, and county.

NBS Homes' repeatable plans and streamlined process are designed to make building more predictable, but the land still plays a major role in how quickly a project can begin.

How to Choose a Home Builder for a Semi-Custom Home in Richmond, VA

Austin Tatom — Wed, 02 Sep 2026 16:36:44 GMT

Quick answer: To choose a semi-custom home builder in Richmond, Virginia, look for transparent pricing, a clearly explained schedule, properly licensed and insured work, experienced trade coordination, finished homes and reviews you can evaluate, and a builder who defines what is included before you sign. Ask how often the builder has completed the plan you are considering, what can change, what costs extra, and how land-related surprises are handled.

Frequently asked questions

Building a new home is one of the biggest decisions you will make, and the builder you choose matters more than any single finish or fixture. The right builder makes the process feel organized and understandable. The wrong one can turn the same project into months of uncertainty.

If you are considering a semi-custom home in the Richmond area, this guide explains how to evaluate a builder, which questions are worth asking, which warning signs deserve attention, and why a more defined building program can work in your favor.

Semi-custom, custom, and why the difference matters

A fully custom home starts from a blank page. You choose the design, layout, materials, and many of the construction details. That flexibility can be valuable, but it also brings more decisions, design time, and opportunities for the budget or schedule to change.

A spec home is the opposite: the builder selects the plan and finishes and begins construction before a buyer is involved. You are purchasing what has already been chosen or built.

A semi-custom home sits between those two approaches. You begin with a proven floor plan, then personalize a defined selection of finishes or options. Because the builder has completed the plan before, pricing, material needs, and the construction sequence can be easier to anticipate.

Knowing which kind of builder you are evaluating matters. A company calling itself semi-custom should be able to explain exactly what is fixed, what can be personalized, and what happens when a buyer requests something outside the standard program.

Six things to look for in a builder

1. Transparent pricing

A good semi-custom builder should explain the home price, standard features, available upgrades, and property-specific costs before you commit. Ask whether land preparation, permitting, utilities, wells, septic systems, driveways, grading, and other site work are included or estimated separately.

If the first number seems unusually low, find out what is missing. A useful quote is not simply the lowest total. It is the one that makes clear what you are actually buying.

2. A clearly defined schedule

An experienced builder should explain where the schedule begins, which pre-construction steps happen before groundbreak, and which conditions may extend the project. Ask for recent examples rather than relying only on an ideal timeline.

Land conditions, financing, permitting, inspections, weather, and material availability can affect individual projects. The builder should distinguish between the time spent preparing the property and the time spent actively constructing the home.

3. Trade expertise and coordination

Ask who performs and manages the work. Some builders keep key trades in-house, while others use long-standing subcontractor relationships. Either structure can work when responsibilities, supervision, quality control, and communication are clear.

The important question is whether the builder has a dependable team and a repeatable process rather than assembling a new group for every project.

4. Proof you can evaluate

Look beyond promotional photographs. Read detailed reviews, ask whether you can see a completed home or active project, and request examples of the same or a similar floor plan.

Pay attention to workmanship, communication, and how previous buyers describe the experience. A builder should be able to provide concrete evidence of what it has built.

5. Proper licensing and insurance

Verify the builder's active Virginia contractor license and classification through the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. Ask for current insurance information and confirm who is responsible for permits, inspections, and warranty service.

6. Clear expectations

The strongest builders explain what they do not offer just as clearly as what they do. A semi-custom builder that establishes limits on structural changes may be protecting the pricing and repeatability of its program.

You should leave the sales process understanding the plan, standard features, available choices, site responsibilities, payment milestones, schedule assumptions, and warranty path.

Questions to ask before you sign

How many times have you built this exact plan?
What is included in the base home price?
Which property and site costs are separate?
What can I personalize, and what is fixed?
Where does your quoted timeline begin and end?
What did your most recent comparable projects take?
Who will be my point of contact during construction?
How often will I receive updates?
What happens if you find an unexpected condition on the land?
How are upgrades or change requests priced and approved?
What does the warranty cover, and who performs warranty work?
Can I review a sample contract before making a decision?

A confident builder should be able to answer these questions directly. The clarity and consistency of the answers can tell you as much as the answers themselves.

Red flags to watch for

Be cautious when a builder provides a firm project total without reviewing the land or clearly separating site work. Rural and build-on-your-land projects can be affected by access, utilities, grading, drainage, soil, septic feasibility, and permitting.

Other warning signs include vague allowances, pressure to sign before you understand the scope, reluctance to provide licensing information or project examples, unexplained exclusions, and a contract that does not establish how changes will be handled.

Pay attention to communication during the sales process. If basic questions go unanswered while the builder is trying to earn your business, communication is unlikely to improve after the contract is signed.

How to compare builder quotes fairly

Two quotes rarely include exactly the same work. Before comparing bottom lines, line up each proposal item by item:

Base home and standard finish package
Permits and required inspections
Clearing, grading, foundation, and driveway work
Well, septic, power, and other utilities
Allowances versus specified materials
Upgrade pricing
Financing-related requirements
Warranty coverage

A lower quote is not necessarily a better value if major portions of the project are excluded or represented only by allowances. Ask each builder to identify what is not included. That is often where the most important differences appear.

Why fixed plans can protect your budget

It may sound limiting, but a defined set of floor plans and finishes can be one of the main advantages of a semi-custom program. Repeating proven plans helps a builder anticipate material quantities, coordinate trades, and reduce the design decisions that often cause delays or budget changes.

Fewer open decisions can also mean fewer change requests. The guardrails are not necessarily a compromise; for buyers who value clarity and predictability, they may be the point of choosing semi-custom construction.

How NBS Homes fits

NBS Homes is a semi-custom builder serving Central Virginia, including the Richmond corridor and Lynchburg area. The company builds four established floor plans on land the buyer owns and uses a defined finish package with a limited selection of upgrades.

NBS Homes is Class A licensed and maintains plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and gas-fitting capabilities in-house. Its process begins with the buyer's goals, budget, and property, followed by a property review that helps identify access, utilities, grading, and other site considerations before construction begins.

Use every question and standard in this guide when evaluating NBS Homes, too. A useful builder-selection guide should help you compare companies honestly, not simply tell you which company to hire.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a semi-custom and a custom home builder?

A custom builder begins with a new design created for a specific buyer. A semi-custom builder starts with established plans that buyers can personalize within defined limits, which can make pricing and scheduling more predictable.

Is a semi-custom home less expensive than a fully custom home?

It often can be because the builder is reusing proven plans, established specifications, and a repeatable process. The actual difference depends on the home, land, site work, finishes, and what each builder includes.

How do I verify a Virginia home builder's license?

Search the builder or contractor through the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation and confirm that the license is active and appropriate for the proposed work.

How many builder quotes should I obtain?

Two or three comparable proposals are generally enough, provided you align what each quote includes and excludes before comparing the totals.

Does NBS Homes serve the Richmond area?

NBS Homes serves the Richmond corridor and other Central Virginia communities. Service availability is evaluated by property address, so prospective buyers should confirm a specific parcel with the NBS team.
