The wet utility phase of construction in land development involves the proper preparation and installation of the on-site sanitary sewer system, storm drains and the potable and non-potable water systems.
Rough grading is mostly about shaping the land through a process of excavation and filling. You cut in certain areas and fill in others. The goal is to establish the proper contours with a practiced eye narrowly focused on proper sloping for drainage.
Almost nothing in land development is universally done each time, but there are 10 key steps in the construction of a land development project that almost always apply.
3D printing in real estate has not fully arrived yet, but I believe that within the next 20-25 years it will become a major force in building construction.
There is little in land development that gets my full attention more than construction costs, simply because they are always huge! Smart land developers take early and sustained action to manage them. The real success in managing land development construction costs starts at pre-acquisition and is an active process throughout the life of the project.
