What You Need to Know About Building in Sandy

Yes. All custom home construction requires a Sandy building permit. We handle the full application and coordinate inspections at foundation, framing, rough systems, and final stages.

What building codes apply in Sandy?

Sandy adopts the International Building Code with local amendments. Snow load, seismic, and slope-grading rules are key considerations. We stay current on all city requirements.

Are there HOA restrictions in Sandy neighborhoods?

Many Sandy neighborhoods have HOA rules on exterior finishes, roof materials, and setbacks. We review covenants early and incorporate restrictions into your design.

Can I build a shop or accessory structure on my lot?
