The development of land for residential, commercial, institutional, military, and industrial facilities has become a more complex endeavor over time. It can involve a multitude of professionals from various disciplines, including attorneys, bankers, appraisers, brokers, architects, and marketing specialists. EMC provides the professional surveyors, land planners, environmental specialists, engineers, and construction managers required for a successful land development project. The process begins with an inventory and analysis of existing conditions, identification of opportunities and constraints, and the development of feasible land use plans. Following this master planning process is the development of detailed construction plans and specifications of the proposed site infrastructure, including the paving, grading, drainage, soil erosion, and utilities associated with the site. These documents are often required to obtain development permits from state and local regulatory agencies prior to the initiation of construction.
The purpose of Land Development Engineering Services at EMC is to provide master planning and construction document preparation for land development projects. The process includes a variety of services, from the initial feasibility/land planning studies using our Geographic Information System (GIS) through the detailed design process. EMC has provided these services for residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. Our clientele includes private developers, architects, industries, state and federal agencies, counties, and municipalities. Providing these services are experienced professional engineers, land planners, and engineering technicians. This staff is very knowledgeable of the state and local development ordinances and regulations, allowing us to permit projects in a timely and cost-effective manner. They utilize state-of-the-art computer hardware and software for these land development projects including: AutoDesk Land Development Desktop, Microstation, Heastad Methods PondPack, StormCAD, and AutoTurn.
