How Sapphire Construction Helps Property Owners

The professionals at Sapphire Construction are very familiar with the Douglas County laws and requirements. We make it a priority to investigate the specifics for each project. But, as a property owner, it is also good for you to be aware of the legalities. This edification will give you a sense of your boundaries and how to protect your investments.

Ideally, home improvements and site improvements will dovetail with the “rural” context in Douglas County. Although horse properties are a natural fit, it is important to address elements that could be bothersome to the neighbors. Perhaps that would be noise caused during events held at an equestrian arena outdoors. Maybe it’s just eliminating the possibility of sending up wind noxious odors inherent in any equestrian operation.  Building placement can make all of the difference.
