New Home Construction?

Question

I was looking up property online and was curious, what the cost would be to hook up the utilities? The lot I was interested in is in town and the description states that the elec. & water is at the street? Also is it more expensive to have a home with a large footprint or one with a small one thats multiple stories??
Thanks

Utility hookups are usually provided by the builder. If you are building a home of your own your costs will vary with the distance the wiring and plumbing have to extend from the street. A larger footprint means more land and therefore, more expense. this is also going to tranlate into an easier sale and greater profits at the end of your possesion. If you are looking for inexpensive solutions your idea of a smaller lot with multi stories is a good one.
Sorry I can't be more specific on your hook up costs but there are just to many variables.
