Very good answer there. The surveyor/civil engineer should also be able to advise on lot grading, drainage, and the location of the house and improvements after all the encumbrances are accounted for.
Just out of curiosity, how long did the permitting process take? I know someone just getting started building on an island and was wondering what the timeframe was like? Thanks in advance for any info.

- NHDES and town Shoreland permit process requires a full site plan AND proposed building footprint with all pervious/impervious areas, so you will need some aspect of that from the Architect (you don’t need full building permit plan, but do need the foundation and surrounding elements like patios, driveway, etc)
- Your surveyor should be able to help manage that permit process for you, but you’ll need an architect or designer for the house footprint parts
Hope that helps…
