Common questions

Is the playbook really free?
Yes. Leave a name and email and the full guide unlocks on this page. We don't run drip campaigns — you'll hear from a real person only if you ask us to look at your lot.
Does this apply to my town?
The by-right law (RSA 674:71-73) applies statewide, to every single-family lot in New Hampshire. Town-specific setbacks and district rules vary — our towns directory covers them town by town, read from each ordinance.
Are the prices in the guide real?
They're the same all-in prices published on our models pages — design, permits, site work, foundation, and build. The two things that vary by property (town utility tap fees and major site surprises like ledge) are called out explicitly.

We check your parcel against the by-right law and your town's setbacks — no cost, no obligation.
