Buying a home is one thing—but building your own dream home on a piece of land? That’s a whole new level of excitement and opportunity. At AT Team, we specialize in helping individuals not just purchase land in Ohio—but transform it into something meaningful and personal. If you’re thinking of building from the ground up, here’s everything you should know about turning dirt into your dream home.
🌍 Step 1: Find the Right Land
Not all land is equal. Before you fall in love with an empty lot, consider:
- Zoning and land use: Is the land approved for residential construction?
- Utilities: Is there access to water, sewage, electricity, and internet?
- Location: How close is it to schools, shops, medical centers, and highways?
- Topography: Is the land flat, sloped, or wooded? How will it impact construction?
At AT Team, we help you scout and secure land that fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget.
🧾 Step 2: Due Diligence Before You Buy
Once you’ve identified the right piece of land, don’t skip the research. This includes:
- Land survey: Confirms boundaries and reveals any encroachments.
- Soil testing: Ensures the ground is stable and safe for building.
- Title search: Confirms clear ownership and no legal issues or liens.
- Flood zone & environmental checks: Helps you avoid future risk and costly insurance.
We connect you with trusted surveyors, title professionals, and inspectors to protect your investment.
🏠 Step 3: Design Your Home
This is the fun part. Once you own the land, you can work with an architect or builder to bring your vision to life. Think about:
- Square footage
- Layout and number of floors
- Style (modern, farmhouse, colonial, etc.)
- Energy efficiency and sustainability features
- Outdoor spaces like patios, decks, or gardens
Our network of builders and design professionals makes the process smoother and more exciting.
🏗️ Step 4: Secure Permits and Start Construction
Before building, you’ll need:
- Building permits from your local municipality
- Approval of blueprints by city or county engineers
- Utilities installation if they’re not already present
- Construction schedule from your chosen builder
We help you coordinate with local authorities and licensed contractors to make sure everything stays on track and up to code.
🛡️ Step 5: Protect Your Investment
As you build your home, you’ll need the right insurance coverage in place to safeguard against risks like theft, fire, or construction delays. Once the home is complete, you’ll want:
- Homeowners insurance
- Liability coverage
- Optional coverage for valuables or natural disasters
AT Team doesn’t just help you buy land—we also offer customized insurance solutions to protect your investment.
🎉 Step 6: Move In and Make It Yours
There’s nothing quite like stepping into a home that you helped create from the ground up. It’s not just a house—it’s your vision, your effort, your story.
