Madison Custom Homes Inc. builds houses anywhere in Central Indiana,
including Boone, Clinton, Hamilton, Hancock, Hendricks, Johnson, Madison,
Marion, Morgan, Shelby and Tipton counties.
 The majority of the
homes we
have built are located on the north and east sides of Indianapolis,
including Fishers/Geist, McCordsville, Noblesville, and Carmel.
Each county in Indiana has different sets of regulations
pertaining to:
- Acquiring building permits and impact fees
- Easements
- Environmental impact
- Bonding requirements
- And much more!
The importance of having a builder that fully understands these
various regulations, and how to interact with government agencies
and regulations to
overcome obstacles, can not be over-emphasized.
Dealing with Local Governments Regarding Problem
Builds
Problem:
An example of the importance of good relations with
municipal agencies is the case of the couple who purchased a 3-acre lot
in an old Carmel "septic" sub-division.
After the lot was purchased, Madison Custom Homes Inc., Inc. was
brought in to develop the site. When we surveyed the elevation fields,
we found that a septic field could not be put on the lot as it was laid out
and that the closest sewer line was about 800 feet away. Hamilton
County officials then determined the lot was unsuitable
for a building.
Solution:
We then conducted research and discovered that two other people had previously owned the lot, encountered the same problems, and
then sold off the lot.
Because we had worked closely with the Hamilton County Sewer and
Highway departments in the past, we knew the procedures to
rapidly obtain approval to install a forced main sewer. It was
connected to a
county sewer line by boring underneath an existing right-of-way
along side the six adjoining lots.
To insure against the possibility of damage to county roads or
property, we obtained the required performance bonds.
Result:
The new sewer line ended up costing less than a septic system
because they would have needed a mound septic field that would have
cost about $26,000 to build. Connecting to the county sewer line, always preferable to a septic
system, cost about $20,000.
The client received additional cost savings
from this change because
we were able to pull the house forward on the lot, therefore:
- Less trees needed to be removed for the septic field
- The length of the driveway was reduced
When you select Madison Custom Homes Inc. to build your new house, you
