Preparing your homesite is a critical step, and our experienced site development team manages it with care and precision. Prior to construction, we coordinate all necessary site preparation, including clearing, grading, excavation, and access improvements when required.

We also manage utility coordination, including water, power, septic or sewer connections, and fire sprinkler planning when applicable. With clear upfront costs provided early in the process, you’ll know what to expect from site work through construction—eliminating surprises and supporting confident decision-making.

Garrette Homes has a dedicated team focused entirely on homesite development. From planning through execution, your project is overseen by experienced professionals committed to delivering a smooth and well-managed experience.

Your Site Development Manager coordinates the process, while our in-house Permitting Department handles required approvals—removing the burden of navigating agencies, timelines, and paperwork. This team-based approach allows you to focus on the excitement of your new home while we manage the details behind the scenes.

Some properties require additional regulatory coordination, including habitat, environmental, or jurisdictional reviews. When needed, our team arranges and manages these evaluations, along with surveying and geotechnical work.

With extensive experience across Southwest Washington, the Portland metro area, and the Puget Sound region, Garrette Homes is well-versed in navigating a wide range of building conditions. Our familiarity with regional requirements helps keep your project moving forward with confidence and care.
