Why This Checklist Exists:

After my family's toxic mold crisis, prevention became my focus. I combined my 14 years as a licensed attorney with my training as a Certified Passive House Builder and Building Biology Advocate to create the site selection process I wish I'd had.

This checklist has helped hundreds of families avoid:

  • Flood zones that lead to toxic mold

  • Constant EMF exposure from nearby cell towers

  • Contaminated soil from former industrial use

  • $50,000+ in surprise driveway paving costs hidden in deed restrictions

  • High-voltage power lines affecting sleep and health

Every check is based on building science research, legal best practices, and hard-won personal experience.

This Checklist Is For You If:

✓ You're shopping for land to build on
✓ You're under contract but haven't closed yet
✓ You already own a lot but haven't broken ground
✓ You're a realtor helping clients find building sites
✓ You want to make informed decisions based on facts, not fear

What Makes This Different:

Most "land buying checklists" focus on:

  • Utilities availability

  • Access roads

  • Property boundaries

  • Basic zoning

This checklist focuses on what most people miss:

  • Environmental health factors

  • Long-term exposure concerns

  • Hidden budget killers

  • Legal restrictions that limit design freedom

  • Contamination that affects resale value

Because site decisions are permanent. You can change your countertops, but you can't move away from a cell tower or relocate power lines.
