Land Development Services

Each piece of property comes with its own set of attributes and challenges. Whether your vision is to complete a residential development or a commercial site, our design professionals can help you enhance your project’s attributes and overcome its challenges.

Our professionals create the layout that captures your development vision. During the layout process we consider many things early in your project, which is critical to the project’s success. Important considerations include regulations, cost-effective infrastructure, project goals, aesthetics and natural resources.

Completing a real estate development requires numerous approvals and potential obstacles must be overcome before the first lot can be sold or the first building can be constructed. SEH has the professional staff to assist you with all aspects of land development. Our professional staff can help you understand the technical issues that affect your development decisions, such as site limitations and regulatory requirements.

Creating the survey document is an important part of the development process. Typically, we start by establishing the accurate extents of your property with a boundary survey. Depending on the project’s intent, our surveying staff will then complete additional project mapping.

Our engineering professionals complete the necessary infrastructure designs. The construction plans and bid documents are completed so that your project can continue smoothly into the construction phase as soon as approvals are obtained.

Once the layouts are approved, we present your project to the applicable authorities. Obtaining permits in a timely manner can be a challenge. We have extensive knowledge of the permitting process and have professional relationships with the permitting agencies. In recent years, stormwater permitting has become critical. Our staff remains on the cutting edge of stormwater design and implementation that helps us obtain permits
expeditiously.
