question about evaluating land for building

Hi - I never post anything here because we always buy existing homes. However we are in the process of looking for a different weekend lake home (that would become retirement home) and there are some land only options that have come up.

My question is, what kind of person is it that evaluates the lot to determine the buildable area and site plan? There are obvious things like setback from the lake and adjacent property that are easy but I'm wondering about the wetness of the land and what part of a lot is actually buildable and whether or not it's suitable for a basement, where a septic system and well would go, etc.

Thanks!
