Voltage Drop for 750 feet advice needed

True. The plan for the building is still evolving. As of right now, the trees are cleared, but the dirt needs shaping.

I have two options. I can figure out how to do this off the meter that I already have or I can go to plan B and have another meter put in. I don't want to add a meter, but will if I have to.

Well, seems to me you have more to figure than just your current meter or not. Don't get hung up on just that. As your plans get firmed up for the building and electrical usage, your needs will dictate the how, including but not limited to the meter.

No worries. I'm a builder and I'll make it happen one way or another. Learning as much as I can allows me to make better choices and hopefully save money.

Thanks,
Eddie

I think I understand amps better then I do volts. I don't think I'll have any problems with amps because my main use will be the AC, then it's mostly just lights and a few things that get plugged into outlets. The building will have natural gas for heat, so that takes care of the heating the building, stove and the water heater.

Are you planning on having receptions, parties, etc in this building, or is this just the "staging area" building? If this will be more than a staging area, plan for an extra 40-80 amps for lights and sound equipment...
Rare is the DJ who will want less than 2 20 amp outlets and if they have a bunch of lights, they will want 3 circuits if they can get them (one each for lights, amps and control equipment).
