Our land development process

Whether your site is 170ha or 1700m², the subdivision process generally follows the phases outlined below. The process may differ on a case-by-case basis depending on the location of the land to be subdivided, existing site constraints, and the number of lots to be created.

Phase 01. Feasibility & Design

We meet with the client, survey the site, and prepare a visual plan that depicts the layout of the new development.
