Very uneven or sharply sloping ground may suggest to the architect very delightful possibilities or put in his way obstacles almost insuperable.

In any event sharp slopes are likely to involve considerable extra cost in foundations and approaches.

Neighborhood to Road

Nothing at once cost so much to show for it as road making.

If the chosen side of the house itself is not close to a good road,

And a long drive is needed in consequence, a sum for road making must be set aside, which will probably distress the client not a little.

In this connection the liability to motor dust must be considered.

A factor governed largely by the prevailing wind.

Accessibility.

Neighborhood to a railway station is not only a question of the personal convenience of those who live in the house, but affects the cost of building.

Thoughtful folk will also consider how near the site will be to post and telegraph office, church and shops.

Public services drainage, water and light.

Connection with municipal sewerage is a factor in cost.

If there is no system near enough, when the house is built, it should be ascertained that

Whether any extensions are likely in the future, as the design of house drainage somewhat varies according to whether it discharges into a public sewer or into a private cesspool or septic tank.

If it is contemplated that the house drainage shall discharge at a point beyond the site,

By arrangement with an adjoining owner, care must be taken to ensure that such right is secured in perpetuity.

A pure and plentiful water supply is infinitely important, both for drinking purposes and for garden use, and if no public mains are available, the possibility of getting a permanent supply from a private artesian well needs to be carefully explored.

For lighting, in default of public gas or electricity, the respective merits of a private installation of electric light.

Acetylene or petrol gas need consideration.
