Preliminary land planning is an essential step in preparing your property for development. At Davis Engineering and Surveying, we take pride in guiding our clients through this initial process, helping to lay the groundwork for a smooth and successful project. Our approach ensures you know the limitations of development on your property and can identify risk factors early on, avoiding potential complications with your land development project.
What is Preliminary Land Planning?
Preliminary land planning involves evaluating your property to determine its development potential. This step allows us to assess usage options and limitations that affect how the land can be developed.
What are the Benefits of Preliminary Land Planning?
There are several key benefits to thorough preliminary land planning:
- Helps Define Potential Uses for Your Property: One of the main advantages of preliminary land planning is that it provides a clear understanding of development restrictions that may apply to your property. Our engineering team will assess site topography, zoning restrictions, setbacks, and other limiting factors to help you make an informed decision about your development.
- Identifies Risk Factors Early: During the preliminary planning phase, we can spot potential issues that could affect your project, such as permitting hurdles, rezoning, annexation, or topographic challenges that may require costly retaining walls or haul-off. By identifying these early, we can help you avoid time consuming surprises later in the development process.
- Streamlines the Design Process: Preliminary land planning gives developers, architects, and engineers a clear idea of potential hurdles and requirements set forth by permitting authorities, so all parties can plan ahead. This makes the design process more efficient, allowing all parties to build a schedule that conforms with planning and commissioner meetings, helping to keep the project timeline on track.
- Makes Permitting Easier: Many municipalities require detailed land planning or conceptual information and meetings prior to moving to the civil design phase. With our thorough preliminary planning process, we provide the know how and documentation necessary to move smoothly through preliminary development phases, reducing the chance of project delays.
