So you don't need a septic plan which would have required test pits which, among other things, would have identified possible ledge. So prior to finalizing a house design and location, it would be a good idea to have a small excavator dig a few pits in the proposed foundation location. You don't want to be dealing with ledge.

Prior to signing up with a builder suggest talking to an attorney with related experience. Have him/her review the proposed contract especially progress inspection payment milestones and who will perform the progress inspections. Unless you have building experience, look for another option other than yourself.
