You also need to make sure your project is designed properly. Here are some additional tips for creating a gorgeous and effective development.
Homes First, Streets Last
Managing stormwater is one of the most expensive parts of land development. However, developing the homes first makes this process cheaper and more efficient. Once the homes are built, add any front or back yards before moving to the streets.
Some people think it is better to design the streets first and then create the houses around those streets. However, a residential property primarily affects the people who live in the homes and play in the yards. You should thus keep the focus on them by prioritizing the house design.
Consider Topography
You should look for a land development services company that provides topographic maps for your contractors to review. These maps can show where the inclines on the property are located. This, in turn, can help you place gravity sewers, which are cheaper than pump stations.
Work With the Land’s Shape
When you create your development project, try to design something that flows well with the form of the land. Try to fill up empty sections to maximize your space.
Land Development Surveys
Developing industrial or residential land also requires certain surveys and authorizations. That is why Chris Nelson & Associates provides a variety of land development services. The company produces boundary surveys that delineate the edge of the property. Chris Nelson and his employees additionally create as-built surveys. The boundary and as-built services are made according to the American Land Title Association and American Congress on Surveying and Mapping standards.
Nelson and his team additionally provide topographic maps along with flood elevation certificates and construction surveys. These services will help make your next land development project a success.
