Denis showed up on time and did exactly what he quoted. Fixed my back patio cover, removed damaged boards, and reattached my gutters. He is very experienced, friendly and efficient. Definitely would recommend and I will use him again.

Expert Residential Site Planning in Seattle, WA
Residential site planning is the foundation of every successful custom home build. Before a single wall goes up, the land itself has to be understood. In the Seattle area, that means working through a range of real site conditions: steep slopes, drainage requirements, tree protections, setback rules, and environmentally critical area designations that can reduce a lot's buildable footprint. Properties across Sammamish, Issaquah, Bainbridge Island, and Mercer Island each carry their own zoning standards and site constraints. At Framework Construction, we approach site planning the same way we approach every project: with careful preparation, honest coordination, and close attention to detail. We look at how the land sits, where utilities connect, how drainage flows, and how the home's placement can make the most of the lot. That early groundwork shapes every decision that follows, from structural framing to finish work. If you're ready to move forward on a custom home in the Seattle area, reach out to talk through your site.

FAQ
Residential Site Planning FAQ
Common questions about residential site planning in Seattle, WA.
Site planning covers how your home is positioned on the lot, how drainage and slopes are handled, and how the design aligns with local zoning rules. In Seattle, this often includes reviewing environmentally critical area designations, setbacks, and tree protections specific to your property.
Site conditions directly shape what your design can do. Slope, soil, drainage patterns, and zoning setbacks in areas like Bellevue and Kirkland can all affect where the home sits and how it's built.
Yes, we work through sloped lot conditions as part of our site planning process. Steep grades affect drainage, foundation type, and home placement, so we look at those factors carefully before design moves forward.
Each jurisdiction has its own zoning standards and site review requirements, so planning on Bainbridge Island or Mercer Island involves location-specific rules. We account for those differences as part of how we approach each site.
A survey shows what's on the lot, but site planning looks at how the home should relate to it. We consider drainage flow, slope stability, utility access, and how structural and finish decisions connect back to what the land requires.
No, site planning is built into how we manage the full project from the start. Getting the site right early keeps the construction process coordinated and avoids problems that are harder to solve once building begins.
