Cost and timeline
Lot evaluation cost in the Treasure Valley
Typical timeline
A standard lot evaluation takes 2 to 4 weeks. Parcels needing a formal geotechnical report or a septic feasibility test through Central District Health can take 4 to 8 weeks.
As of 2026, a written lot evaluation in the Treasure Valley runs $950 to $3,500. A standard review of a serviced subdivision lot sits near the lower end, while rural acreage requiring a geotechnical report, septic feasibility testing through Central District Health, or a well yield assessment sits at the upper end.
These are planning ranges, not bids. The fee is credited toward design if you build with us, and it routinely surfaces site costs that dwarf it.

Why design-build for your lot evaluation & feasibility
As a design-build home builder, we bring architectural design, engineering, estimating, permitting, and construction under one contract and one accountable team. That removes the handoffs and finger-pointing that happen when the architect, the plan reviewer, and the general contractor all answer to someone different - and it keeps your lot evaluation & feasibility on a single, coordinated schedule.
You get a written, fixed price before we break ground and a published draw schedule through the build.
