In brief, you should know the following about us, a family business: The owner of Lancaster Design Build, comes from a family of artists and craftsmen, The LaRoche family. Jerome LaRoche’s father and grandfather, built their own homes and each piece of furniture in their homes. They taught Jerome from a young age to build something right the first time—to build it strong as well as beautiful, to build it to last, and to take pride in a job well done. These values might be old-fashioned, but they are never out of style. It is these values, combined with over thirty-six years of experience, which make the “difference” in what you will receive when your project is entrusted to Lancaster Design Build. You will get quality and value, and an attention to detail which exceeds industry standards. He believes in taking those extra steps which, even unseen, ensure a level of building integrity which is second to none. He is dedicated to the “ART of Building”. Ask to be shown the difference and then compare to others’ standards. You will see for yourself. Whether the job is small or large, standard or custom, simple or high-end, you can expect the same focus on quality that is a hallmark of every project we do, and we guarantee it. HERITAGE. . .

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Drilled wells have a pipe sticking up that’s covered in a plastic or metal casing. On the other hand, a dug well will look like a big hole in the ground and is more similar to what you’d see in a fantasy or Western movie. If you want to be sure, contact the city for documentation on your property’s construction and excavation history. 

Most municipalities require excavation permits for any significant digging, especially if the excavation affects utilities or public property. However, permits for excavation depend on your local government and the scope of the project. Hire an experienced contractor for your excavation job so that they can be the ones to deal with permitting, not you. 

Call 811 to locate and mark the gas lines at least three days before digging. In many areas, you can dig within 18 inches of the lines, though in some locations, the distance may be further. Check local regulations, as you may need a utility company representative onsite when digging. Document your calls to 811 and precautions taken to avoid gas lines. A homeowner can be held liable for hitting a gas line in some cases, but contacting the proper authorities and following all guidelines can offer protection.

A joint utility trench, or joint trench, is a long, buried ditch on a property that contains two or more utility lines rather than running the lines in multiple trenches. Some utilities, like gas and electric or electric and communication lines, are better suited to joint trenching, while others, like water and sewer, are not allowed to be in the same trench.

While you can save some money by digging your own pool, you may end up paying more in construction equipment rental fees in the long run. You could, however, focus your DIY energies on lowering the cost of leveling your lawn for your pool or filling in surrounding landscaping after construction.
