        "text": "The overall cost depends on parcel size, terrain complexity, and whether specialty tests like soil perc testing or formal land surveys are required. A basic visual review and regulatory check by a general contractor requires far less investment than full pre-construction engineering. If deep bedrock, steep slopes, or unverified utility easements require geotechnical borings or boundary surveys, those third-party fees are factored in separately. Investing in this preliminary evaluation often saves tens of thousands of dollars by uncovering hidden site prep expenses before contracts are locked in.",
