With the booming population growth that Monrovia has experienced in recent years, many new residents choose to purchase land and build new homes rather than move in to pre-existing or rented structures.
While it is true that building your own home is rewarding, it can also be face with certain challenges, especially in the Bushrod Island area where many plots of land are wet or swampy. It is a task that you need to approach carefully to avoid issues down the road. To build on a wet, swampy plot of land, follow these three tips to arrive successfully. 


Building on swamplands can be more costly than you might assume, largely because you must first have the soil backfilled and strengthened. In some areas, this may just require bringing in a few extra truckloads of soil and compacting the ground to give the foundation a firm base. In other areas, you may need to have a more complex drainage system built to keep the land around your home dry. 

Either ways, be sure to get some estimates for soil amendment and drainage early on so you can plan for these costs when designing your home.

2. Work with an experienced building company : 

Before you hire a contractor to design and build your home, research their history carefully. Only hire someone who has experience building on wet Land . 

3. Plans flexibility : 

When your contractor assesses your land and its quality, they may find that certain aspects of your desired home design are not feasible given the soil quality in certain areas. 

For instance, you may want a long and narrow ranch home, but the land may be better suited for a square-shaped layout. While it's definitely ideal to approach the building process with a list of qualities you want in your home, you must also understand that the wet land may restrict your options to a certain degree.

Many homes in the Bushrod Island area have been built on plots of land that were once moist and somewhat swampy. You do not have to be fearful to build on your land just because it is wet.
