If you are buying land to have a house built on-how much does it cost to get the land ready?

Like the septic tank and things like that. I know it will depend on the area and other things but I need some kind of ball park figure and what all has to be done. The land is already level and cleared but that's all.If you are buying land to have a house built on-how much does it cost to get the land ready?
Five things to consider first: 1) Is it buildable,check with your county property appraisers office. 2)Does it need septic tank-Ask a septic tank provider.3)water: do you need a well,a well drilling company can give you an estimate.4) Electric -Your power company can tell you how much it will cost to hook up your home. 5)don't forget cost of permits. I would find a builder that has a good reputation ,and ask him. The more knowledge you have the better. Good luck.If you are buying land to have a house built on-how much does it cost to get the land ready?
A septic and well system will probably run in the neighborhood of $50,000.
I would guess somewhere between $2-5,000 for a field line and septic tank. If you are talking about putting in power or telephone lines, the costs can go up from there. Your best bet would be to call around to contractors in your area for estimates. You may also contact your local hardware, building supply store or other building companies, such as Lowe's or Home Depot. They deal with contractors all the time and if you want to do it yourself, they could give you a good idea of the costs involved.
