Turnkey Development
Every step in development is critical. These are our seven steps to success.
Initial Feasibility
As developers, we understand the critical importance of timely and cost-effective project feasibility reports. It's essential to know whether a project will meet your investment goals before proceeding. We offer a range of feasibility services for land development projects, from basic lot yield analysis or commercial property layouts with preliminary budgets, to comprehensive site planning that includes detailed construction cost estimates for investors and lenders. A thorough feasibility study is a key step in securing approval and moving forward with confidence to the next phase of your project.
Design & Financial Feasibility
A developer's strategy and decisions during this phase are critical to ensuring a project stays on track. This stage involves everything from engineering considerations to detailed proformas. The choices made here can determine the success or failure of the project. Clear direction is needed quickly, as time is of the essence and costs continue to accumulate.
Acquisition
Negotiating equitable terms for a property purchase is key to setting the stage for a successful project—or avoiding setbacks later. Strategic thinking and creativity are crucial when navigating complex deals with diverse interests on both sides. Our experience in understanding how different stakeholders can benefit from future development enables us to structure deals that work for everyone involved.
Entitlement
Acquiring the necessary entitlements for certain properties can be a lengthy and intricate process. We have extensive expertise in securing public utilities and handling various entitlement tasks, such as Phase 1 Environmental reports, Wetlands Studies, and Drainage Approvals. Investing time upfront to ensure proper entitlement is one of the most critical steps toward ensuring a development's success.
Engineering
Our team manages all direct communications with the engineers involved in a project, ensuring that every technical detail is addressed as we progress. We work closely with engineers to navigate design and engineering challenges, ensuring smooth transitions from planning to site work. Our experience in overcoming potential hurdles plays a key role in keeping projects on track and moving forward efficiently.
Permitting
Clear and consistent communication with local governments and agencies is essential during the permitting phase. Our team ensures that all required permits are secured, helping to bring the development closer to realization and reducing the risk of delays or complications.
Construction
The construction phase should be the seamless implementation of the design and engineering plans. Our qualified construction team is adept at executing projects based on detailed plans, but we also understand that on-site variables can present unforeseen challenges. With deep experience in handling such issues, we ensure that projects are executed as planned, despite any unexpected hurdles.
