Land
PLanning
Land planning is an integral part of the early design process. As land values increase and suitable land decreases, it is critical to maximize value and keep costs manageable. In order to be successful in today’s competitive world, places need to be inviting, creative, and innovative. We convey these principles to our clients, regulatory officials, and the public in comprehensive presentations and printed materials.
We work with our clients to develop concept plans early in the design process to identify the highest and best use, areas for development, zoning or regulatory hurdles, and engineering constraints. By providing upfront planning, we encourage a more efficient design process, saving time and money for our clients.
