How Long Does it Take to Build a Home?

Can You Build a Home on My Land?
Yes! We are able to build your new home on your land in Berks, Centre, Columbia, Cumberland, Dauphin, Montgomery, Montour, Northumberland, Perry, and York counties. After you have worked with an engineer to assess site preparation needs such as stormwater requirements and permitting, and you have discussed deed restrictions and variances with the land seller, our On Your Land Consultant will be able to use your site plan and information to help you plan accordingly.
