ZONING
Understanding zoning before purchasing a property is crucial for ensuring your intended use aligns with local regulations. Zoning laws dictate what can be built and how the land can be used, impacting everything from development potential to property value. A clear understanding helps avoid costly issues down the line and ensures a smoother transaction.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Understanding land’s environmental characteristics, such as wetlands, protected species, and contamination from toxic substances, is crucial before purchasing. These factors can restrict development, require special permits, or lead to costly mitigation. A thorough assessment helps you make informed investment decisions by revealing any limitations or requirements.
STRUCTURE
Existing buildings should be carefully reviewed for structural soundness and system functionality. This includes evaluating foundations, load-bearing systems, roofs, HVAC, electrical, and plumbing components to identify deficiencies, deferred maintenance, or potential safety issues. This ensures a clear understanding of the asset’s condition and long-term feasibility.
BUILDABILITY
Evaluating a parcel’s size, shape, and location, along with topography, road access, utility connections, and environmental constraints, helps determine if a site is suitable for development. These factors influence layout, access, and overall feasibility. A thorough assessment identifies challenges early, allowing plans to be adjusted for efficient, cost-effective construction.
HYDROLOGY
Assessing a site's hydrology is crucial for development, as sufficient water supply and quality are necessary for construction and future use. Ensuring the site meets these water needs helps confirm its suitability for development and addresses any potential water-related issues.
GEOTECHNICAL
Geotechnical assessments are vital for understanding soil conditions, affecting foundation design and excavation. They evaluate soil stability and risks like erosion or contamination, helping prevent costly issues and ensuring the site can support the planned infrastructure.
