Pennsylvania's Uniform Construction Code moved to the 2021 international codes on January 1, 2026, so plans drawn earlier may need updates. Design values are set town by town; Glen Rock's code, for one, uses a 30 inch frost depth and a 30 psf ground snow load. Lots away from public water and sewer need a well and an on-lot septic system, and the septic permit starts with the township's Sewage Enforcement Officer and a soil test.
Ask who handles permits and inspections, since some towns inspect in-house and others use a third-party agency; the process starts at the borough or township office. New home construction falls outside the state's home improvement law, so read the contract terms closely.
A builder's allowance list tells you more about the final price than the brochure does. Read it before you fall for the kitchen rendering.
