Pre-Development Consulting

Consulting to develop land before you invest in the project.

We assess the potential of a site from every angle: physical, regulatory, urban, environmental, hydraulic and infrastructure conditions. We identify opportunities and constraints to define what can be built, how to make it viable and what the next steps are to move it forward.

A six-phase product. Each phase answers the question that drives the investment decision.

What do I have?

Site knowledge

We gather and generate the baseline information on the site: what the land already tells us before a single line is drawn.

  • Available topography
  • Surveying and georeferencing
  • Geophysical data
  • Soil characteristics
  • Hydraulic constraints
  • Hydrology and runoff
  • Land context
  • Existing infrastructure
  • Available cadastral records
Site survey with drone and total station, terrain model and soil boring

What can I build here?

Site assessment · Analysis · Constraints · Opportunities

We turn the site information into criteria for making development decisions.

  • Land analysis
  • Zoning regulations
  • Land use
  • Density and buildable potential
  • Environmental constraints
  • Access and connectivity
  • Existing infrastructure
  • Hydraulic constraints
  • Risks and constraints
  • Site opportunities
  • Development recommendations

Is my project feasible?

Feasibility · Infrastructure · Utilities · Permits

We evaluate whether the project can be built technically and under the applicable regulations, and what conditions are required to make it viable.

  • Urban assessment
  • Land use feasibility
  • Potable water
  • Sanitary sewer
  • Storm drainage
  • Roadways and mobility
  • Electric power
  • Environment
  • Utility feasibility approvals
  • Regulatory requirements
  • Required permits and entitlements
  • Risks and conditions
Utility feasibility approvals, existing infrastructure and regulatory validations

How do I develop it?

Integrated master plan · From land to development

We turn the site's potential into an integrated development strategy.

How do I build it?

Construction documents · From concept to engineering

We produce the technical documentation required to take the master plan to construction.

  • Geometric design
  • Building pads
  • Road profiles
  • Roadway design
  • Water design
  • Sanitary sewer design
  • Storm drainage design
  • Utility networks

  • Quantity takeoffs and bid schedules
Construction drawings, construction phasing and infrastructure details

How do I get it approved?

Permitting and approval · Filings · Permits · Certifications

We guide the project through the permitting process to turn a technical project into an approved project, ready to move forward.

  • Urban permitting
  • Licenses and permits
  • Service feasibility approvals
  • Official rulings
  • Entitlements
  • Environmental studies and filings
  • Certifications
  • Application packages
  • Coordination with government agencies
  • Permit tracking
