The goal of any land development project is not just to improve a piece of land but the overall quality of life of an area. However, land development is a complex process that involves evaluation, planning, permitting, engineering, construction, monitoring and compliance. At Fehr Graham, we listen to municipal leaders and developers so we understand their vision. With our experience as a land development company in Illinois, we can identify and plan for site-specific challenges to avoid cost and schedule overruns.
Navigating various steps of land development in Illinois
Land development is a process involving conceptualization and planning, design approvals, regulatory compliance, funding, project management and more. Although each project is different, key components of a successful land development project include:
- A design plan: Municipal leaders and developers need civil and structural engineering expertise to plan and design a land development project.
- Regulatory approvals: Before any land development project starts, municipal leaders and developers need to tick off a checklist of regulatory approvals. Any delay can throw the project off schedule.
- Construction layout: A detailed construction layout plan is at the core of a land development project. It demonstrates the project’s aesthetic value and how the infrastructure benefits community members and improves their quality of life.
- Observation: Complicated land development projects need to be completed according to plans and specifications. Construction observation ensures work adheres to plans and is performed safely. The observer can also advise on appropriate actions when complications occur and provide necessary documentation.
Because municipal leaders and developers often find the complexity of land development projects overwhelming, they need the expert assistance of a one-stop land development company in Illinois.
