Land Use Plan
We begin our residential development process by taking in consideration land use planning. Land use planning is a key part of project development. In conjunction with each site, we examine and analyze environmental and physical characteristics of the project. We utilize the latest technology and resources available. This allows us to complete either a schematic design or master plan that allows the developer to determine the feasibility of the project for development. We will help in establishing the developer’s objectives and will offer innovative concepts, designs, and alternatives. We make it our business to know the developers needs and long term goals. Our expertise allows us to identify potential problems and develop solutions, so we can turn past constraints into opportunities for the present.  

Site Plan
We fully understand the requirements of local, state and federal agencies. We research all zoning and planning ordinances to familiarize ourselves with the allowances and limitations for each project. Our designs are carefully thought out to meet all requirements and at the same time exceed the developer’s needs and expectations. Through our experience we offer to our clients a network of contacts in the public sector on a professional and peer relationship level.
