GC License and my goal this year is to build a small Flex Building 5,000 - 15,000/sf
Has any of the readers out there done this? It will be my first time and will likely team up with a builder when I start but here are some of my questions..

1.) How much land do you typically look for? I hear 10,000/sf of building per acre?

2.) Does anyone have a link to an article for a checklist of some sort to walk me through the process?

3.) I struggle with how to best lay out the building on the site. Would like to maximize the site....mix of drive-in and dock high doors? Possible outside storage and parking?

&amp;#x200B;

Any help would be appreciated and hopefully can update this post as I move through the process for others...
