🏠 HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS FOR HOME BUILDING: AVOID THE MEASUREMENT TRAP 🏠

Think building height restrictions are simple? "The city says 30 feet, so my house can be 30 feet tall." Not quite. Where does that measurement start? From the curb? Your driveway? Natural grade around your foundation? The lowest point within 10 feet of your building? Where does it end? At the roof peak? The midpoint? The deck line? And what happens when your lot slopes? You might "use up" several feet of your height allowance just dealing with grade changes—before you've built anything vertical. I've seen homeowners invest thousands in design development, fall in love with their plans, and then discover they need to cut 2-3 feet off their building height. That's not a minor adjustment. It means reducing ceiling heights, changing roof pitch, compromising aesthetics, and spending $5,000-10,000+ in architectural rework. All completely preventable with early verification. 🎯 In This Episode: ✅ The four most common height measurement methods (and why they produce different results on the same property) ✅ Why the measurement STARTING point matters more than the actual height number ✅ How sloping lots create the "hidden height trap" that costs homeowners thousands ✅ Real examples of height restriction surprises and what they cost ✅ The 5-step verification process to avoid expensive redesigns ✅ When HOAs impose even stricter limits than city code ✅ Questions to ask your architect about height compliance verification ✅ The exact design phases when you MUST check height restrictions 📍 TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Introduction: Height Restrictions Are More Complex Than You Think 2:05 - Why Cities Care About Height (Neighborhood character, light/air, privacy) 5:30 - How Height Is Actually Measured (Four common methodologies) 9:15 - Measurement Starting Points (Curb, average grade, natural grade, lowest point) 12:45 - Measurement Ending Points (Peak, midpoint, deck line, special roofs) 15:00 - The Sloping Lot Challenge (Real example: Losing 3 feet before building starts) 18:00 - The Awakened Homeowner Action Plan (5 verification steps) 22:00 - Wrap-Up and Next Steps 📚 FREE RESOURCES: 📄 Free Story - The Tale of Two Homeowners: See the dramatic difference between an informed homeowner and one who learns the hard way https://the-awakened-homeowner.kit.co... 🎙️ RELATED EPISODES (Understanding Design Limitations Series): • Episode 33: Floor Area Ratio (FAR) - How Big Can Your Home Be? • Episode 34: Setback Requirements - Defining Your Buildable Area • Episode 35: Property Easements - Hidden Restrictions on Your Land • Episode 36: Lot Coverage - The Footprint Limitation 🔗 CONNECT WITH THE AWAKENED HOMEOWNER: 🎙️ Listen on All Podcast Platforms: https://podcast.theawakenedhomeowner.... 📖 Get the Book (Amazon): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F1MDRPK7 📖 Get the Book (All Platforms): https://books2read.com/u/bpxj76 🌐 Website: https://www.theawakenedhomeowner.com/ 📧 Email: [email protected] 👥 FOLLOW ON SOCIAL: 📸 Instagram:   / theawakenedhomeowner   👍 Facebook:   / theawakenedhomeowner   🔗 LEARN ABOUT THE BUILDQUEST APP: 🌐 Website: https://www.buildquest.co/ 💬 ABOUT THIS CHANNEL: Your Home Building Coach with Bill Reid helps homeowners and construction professionals navigate custom home building and remodeling with confidence.
