While land (acreage) costs may be very similar in a particular area, the cost to build on a site can vary considerably. Many factors must be considered to ensure that the site meets your needs and doesn’t contain unwelcome and costly surprises. Through our 50+ years of building experience, Maple Reinders has encountered and overcome almost every possible challenge on a project, and we use this knowledge to help our clients make informed decisions about their next building site.
