You have go to understand the importance of checking public utility hookup costs before purchasing a property for new home construction. Greg emphasizes that these costs can be substantial and vary depending on the location and availability of utilities.
He highlights potential issues with water meters, electrical hookups, sewers, gas, and phone lines.
Greg advises viewers to research utility costs in advance to avoid unexpected expenses and delays in the construction process. I also recommend checking for limitations on utility connections in the area, such as water meter availability or gas line extensions.
Bonus Tips:
Contact your local building department to inquire about utility requirements and potential costs.
Research different utility providers in your area to compare rates and services.
