Local knowledge. National firm strength.

Utilizing years of experience and the latest mapping and digital technologies, we provide in-house due diligence services to research the possibilities of a property and provide our clients with the necessary knowledge to achieve their project goals.

Our team of land planning, environmental, surveying, and engineering experts collaborate with developers, builders, local and state agencies, specialty consultants, and project stakeholders to provide a comprehensive analysis of the property and surrounding location. We aim to mitigate potential development risks while ensuring that the property’s intended use is compliant with local regulations and environmental protections. Our team also helps identify the property’s land use designation and zoning requirements, as well as the availability of water, sewer, and other utilities. Our desktop and/or site visits provide input on the property conditions and impacts affecting development such as floodplains, wetland, steep slopes, threatened and endangered species, or other limiting site factors.

Key services:

• Property base mapping services, including wetlands, floodplains, topographic survey, and steep slopes
• Zoning compliance analysis
• Water and wastewater service options
• Critical issues analysis
• Feasibility studies, including soils, traffic, and definable stormwater outlets

Our land development team thoughtfully develops strategies to accomplish maximum property yields, create value for future project phases, and help navigate from preliminary project stages through final construction document permitting to ensure your project moves smoothly through the regulatory approval process.

As your strategic partner, we assist in preparing and obtaining land use and zoning approvals at the local, county, state, and federal levels. From collaborating with staff-level engagement to attending and presenting at public hearings, we provide the pathway through the risk and discretionary process to add significant value to the project. Our goal is to successfully represent our clients’ interests by supporting the highest and best use for their real estate assets.
