Land Planning and Other Services
We offer professional services for all types of land development, frequently beginning with assistance in locating and/or selecting the project site and performing land capacity analysis and this continues throughout your project’s development. We will assist in reaching your project’s goals by providing conceptual plans, cost estimates, feasibility studies and construction drawings in a timely manner to meet the financing and regulatory benchmarks unique to each project. As part of this process, we assist in obtaining all permits (zoning, re-zoning, land use, etc.) required for your project, including attending regulatory meetings, hearings, etc. on your behalf. We also provide survey plats and mortgage surveys needed for the final sales closing. Some of these services are as follows:
