How this works in Alberta
A walkover with soils, access, and constraints written down is due diligence. It is cheaper than buying a problem.
A site assessment pulls together what decides where you can build: soils and percolation for septic, drainage and wet areas, mapped wetlands and flood hazard, slope, setbacks and access. Start with the land report to see the mapped constraints, then pay for field work where it matters.
For farms, the Alberta Environmental Farm Plan offers a free, confidential self-assessment of risks on the operation and is often a prerequisite for cost-share programs.
