We’re building on a piece of land in Skagit County with no sewer access, so a septic system is part of the project. The general contractor says he’ll subcontract it and not to worry, which is roughly what he said about the driveway before that turned into a change order. I’d like to understand the actual sequence: design, permits, install, inspection, and where things typically go sideways. Any experience welcome. We’re financing the build, so unexpected costs are painful in a way they wouldn’t be if I were paying cash. Trying to identify the expensive surprises before they arrive rather than after.
