  "articleBody": "You're excited about putting a tiny home on your property, and that's awesome! But before you get too deep into floor plans, you might be wondering, \"What actually goes down during a site feasibility consultation?\" It's a super smart question, and it's one of the most critical steps Zen Tiny Homes helps clients with. We've been working with San Diego County residents for over a decade, so we know what to look for. \n\nOur consultations are all about getting a realistic picture of your property's potential. First off, we'll dive deep into your property's specific location, checking the current zoning and local regulations to see if a tiny home, especially an ADU-style one, is even permitted. Then, we look at the physical site itself. This includes things like the topography – is it flat or sloped? What about drainage? We'll assess where the best spot for the tiny home would be, considering setbacks from property lines and existing structures. \n\nUtilities are a big one, so we'll check for power, water, and septic/sewer access, helping you understand what infrastructure might be needed. We use land use planning, zoning and code checks, topography analysis, and even aerial mapping to get a full picture. The goal is to identify any potential hurdles early on – whether it's tricky access for construction, needing to extend utilities, or navigating specific permit requirements. This whole process gives you a clear roadmap and helps you avoid costly surprises, ensuring your tiny home project starts on solid ground. Give us a call at (760) 492-0742 to chat about your property!",
