This is different from deadlines after plan approval or construction starts. The published covenants require exterior completion within one year after construction commences, subject to the stated extension provisions (§10.04(c)). Approval and permit timing also apply. Review §10.05 and the ARB rules with your builder before scheduling work.

Your choice must work within the architectural review process. The ARB rules require a county permit, a signed owner/architect/builder agreement and a preconstruction meeting. Verify licensing with the South Carolina Residential Builders Commission. Ask the ARB to confirm current requirements for your proposed team.

Compare the surveyed acreage of the specific parcels you are considering. Historical marketing figures describe different phases and do not establish a current inventory average. Total acreage is also different from usable building area: setbacks, easements, wetlands and the proposed home layout matter. The covenants refer parcel dimensions to recorded plans (§2.01).

Use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center with the property address or coordinates. Record the effective panel number, effective date, mapped zone and any applicable map amendments or revisions. Confirm the proposed building location with a surveyor and local floodplain office. Flood zone, ground elevation, wetlands and buildable area are separate questions; ask your lender and insurer about coverage and requirements.

Request the recorded plat, current survey, title and easements, covenants, ARB guidelines and current POA charges or assessments. Review utilities, drainage, soil or septic suitability, access, setbacks and any dock eligibility with the relevant professionals and authorities. Ask your agent and closing attorney to structure the due-diligence period around these checks; confirm current fees and obligations rather than relying on older marketing material.
