Property & Land Feasibility Studies
Our property feasibility study provides a clear roadmap for evaluating land prior to development. We perform detailed land feasibility research, including verification of legal access, review of zoning restrictions, and assessment of utility connections such as power, water, and cable. Our team investigates HOA or private governing body requirements, identifies whether a well or public water access is needed, and outlines estimated costs for drilling if required. We also evaluate potential wetlands, critical areas, or habitat concerns, recommending professional environmental studies if necessary. To support your development goals, we prepare a preliminary site plan and compile all findings into a feasibility report and presentation binder for client review.

Zoning restrictions review – we will provide a summary of the zoning restrictions and determine if this aligns with the goals of the client.
-
Wetland/habitat identification and/or studies - If necessary, we recommend hiring a professional wetlands/habitat consultant to produce an official study that can be used later in the permitting process. The client will be responsible for fees incurred by outside consultants.
