Civil Feasibility Study
Research Before You Develop

Developing a property, either commercial or residential, can be a complex process. Each property has its own legal status (zoning and platting), infrustructure (utilities) and restrictions (set backs, HOA guidelines and code parameters) for development. Some properties are more "dramatic" than others but each has its potential that can be maximized when you understand the civil characteristics of the property. 

A-1 Engineering, LLC can complete a property feasibiilty study. The feasibility study is a report that gives you information about the potential to develop a property. For example, you find a 1 acre piece of property that you want to build a house on or maybe start a business. The property sales prices meets your budget but you are not sure if you can build your dream house or your new business there. A feasibility study of the property summarizes the characteristics of the property into a report. The study will tell you the zoning of the lot, utilities, restrictions, easements, righ aways, plat status, flooding encrouchment, etc. Seller disclosures can tell you alot about a property and realtors are great resources and guides, but a feasibilty study is factual information for the property. 

Feasibility studies are not expensive nor do they take long to complete. Our staff of engineers understand the resources well that retrieve the information quickly to consolidate the information into a report for you. The study can cost as low as a few hundred dollars for a small lot to a couple thousand dollars to large lots and tracts. 

Raw land can have easement restrictions and building set backs that can influence where you put your new building. A feasibilty study will help answer most of those questions.
