That’s for sure. I’m and Intern Architect in BC and so many clients don’t research the feasibility before buying their plot.

I’d assume your idea is slightly cheaper but I always thought the largest expense is the land price to begin with.

EDIT: OP, as others say, land prep can cost way too much. I’d add reaching out to your local architect to do a preliminary feasibility study before you even buy a plot.
