Ive seen fencing around commercial builds, never around a residential property.  What would the do if building a whole subdivision? 


The whole site would be blocked off

incumbent of the future homeowner to check with the builder not to ass u me

so I would be concerned


@jackthebear    Since you don't own the property until the house is completed and you have closing, why be concerned about something someone else owns?

because people are litigious and if their darling gets a splinter they'd want to sue anyone on the paperwork 

never mind if little darling is a terror

 

and this I would hope that my builder is attentive to safety and details which will show on my finished product

Re: Houses Under Construction

The only time I see fencing up around new construction is when it's a commercial build site.  I never see it around residential building.

Re: Houses Under Construction

If I were the homeowner, I wouldn't like it a bit. I always lived in rural areas, we honestly never had any new homes being built anywhere where we lived. 

I'd be worried if I were the homeowner because of personal liability if these kids get hurt. 

Our home sits back off the road, and as soon as we bought the property where it sits, we kept the gate locked. We had a rent house close by and I'd run up here and unlock the gate when I knew we were going to have workers.

Re: Houses Under Construction

Back in the day, no one seemed to notice kids 🤣

 

When they were moving in we did get in trouble for racing under the truck joint 😂

 

Good times!

Re: Houses Under Construction

I would be concerned, I would check with the builder, and I might also give my lawyer a quick call.  Actually, yes I would. Don't like the idea of kids roaming around the site.

 

In today's crazy world you simply cannot be to cautious or assume anything.

@Desertdi  No. I didn't live around any.
