Developing land in Vermont can be a challenge, given the different layers of permitting that are often involved. We will work with you to identify early in the process potential permitting hurdles and other implications that may derail a project. Our team conducts an initial assessment of the project and then meets with regulators to conduct pre-application reviews—which has been proven to streamline the application process and ensure that there are no surprises. This stage in the development process provides us with the information needed to survey and design your property.

Once we’ve identified the constraints and opportunities presented by a project, our surveyors perform a detailed survey of the project site, recording and documenting the existing infrastructure, topography, property boundaries and easements. The result is a comprehensive plan on which to further the development of your plan. Our surveyors also prepare the base plan so there is no disconnection between the information recorded and what is presented on the plan itself. The accuracy of these plans provides a valuable piece of the overall site development process.

Our firm of civil and environmental engineers then collaborates with you to implement your vision for the property within the confines of the regulations. We provide the know how that will get the necessary water and sanitary sewer infrastructure to the project and perform site grading and drainage and stormwater treatment.
