Our integrated approach saves you time and money

If you’re an owner/builder, before you can start your development project, you’ll need to assemble and coordinate a dizzying array of consultants just to get your development approvals.

This governmental approval process is increasingly complex. Not only are government regulations and zoning codes tough to interpret but they’re changing constantly. Often, different agencies and jurisdictions have conflicting regulations. Reacting to these rules and regulations without a cohesive development plan can lead to mistakes, putting your project at risk. Mistakes made early in the real estate development process are costly and can doom your project forever.

Some of these mis-steps include;

• Flawed due diligence that doesn’t uncover important site issues
• Hidden utility requirements that require costly upgrades
• Punitive development agreements, that limit your development options
• Mis-understanding new on-site storm water requirements
• Not engaging with all the government agencies that review and approve your project
• Not building local consensus and support for your project
• Capitulating to a vocal neighborhood group.
• Communities and homes not designed for today’s buyers

Traditionally, an owner/developer needed to hire a variety of consultants to plan and permit their project (architects, engineers, permit expediters, etc), but the more people involved, the greater the chance that important issues get overlooked.

Not only that, but fewer consultants involved in the process means significant cost savings since there is less wasteful overlap between consultants.

Establishing a clear development plan at the begin of your project maintains your project goals, while reducing the amount of plan review cycles. Each review cycle is expensive since it involves;

• Plan distribution and printing
• Coordination between consultants
• Extra consultant time
• Extra agency review time

So, by reducing your plan review cycles, not only do you save money, you’ll get your development approvals quicker. Essentially, you’ll get a better a solution quicker.
