re: New Construction Drainage Worry

That house looks super low based on the other houses that can be seen in the background.

This is a major Problem I have with new builds. Often very little is budgeted for exterior property work like fine grading, drainage and landscaping. I’ve done my fair share of 500k homes with landscape budgets at $7500 including sod.

GC’s don’t grade properly and often have inadequate sub base littered with trash, concrete debris, and numerous divots.

To the OP, I wouldn’t buy this house without major contingencies on addressing the drainage, verification of the finished floor elevations and a through home inspection.
