01/Services

A full spectrum practice for land development.

Three practice areas, each with the deliverables spelled out, so you can check whether we do the specific thing you need.

Feasibility and Entitlement

This is the work that happens before capital is committed: what the ground allows, what the code allows, and what the agency will actually approve.

We answer the yield question with confirmed constraints rather than assumptions, then build the approval path that gets you there.

When to engage: Typically engaged under contract during a diligence period, or before an owner takes a parcel to market.

Typical engagement: 6 to 14 weeks.

What you receive

Zoning and overlay analysis
Constraints map covering wetlands, grade, easements, and utility service boundaries
Yield study tied to confirmed capacity, not zoning theory
Entitlement schedule with critical path and hearing calendar
Agency pre application summary with staff positions noted
Risk register with go or no go recommendations
Diligence budget and sequencing memo

Master planning turns an approved yield into a place that holds up over decades of phased construction.

We balance density, character, and infrastructure timing so each phase can stand on its own if the market pauses.

When to engage: Typically engaged once entitlement direction is settled and before construction documents begin.

Typical engagement: 3 to 7 months.

What you receive

This is representation through the approval process itself: staff review, neighborhood meetings, commissions, and councils.

We prepare the record, manage the calendar, and put the hardest question first so the answer arrives while the plan can still absorb it.

When to engage: Typically engaged at submittal, or brought in mid process when an application has stalled.

Typical engagement: 4 to 24 months, tracking the hearing calendar.

What you receive

Tell us the APN and what you are trying to build. We will tell you whether it is worth the diligence spend.
