SDS AND THE LAND DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

Our services can be utilized during virtually any phase of the land development process.

Site Feasibility Phase

SDS provides earthwork analyses, balanced site grades, and feasibility cost estimates based on as little information as existing topo, a rough layout of parking and building locations, and a minimum of proposed spot elevations.

Site Design Phase

SDS provides assistance in balancing, quantifying, and estimating alternative design schemes in order to minimize design and land development costs.

Estimating/Budgeting Phase

SDS provides quick, realistic cost estimates or quantities for your own price estimating and comparisons.

Construction Phase

SDS provides detailed information with effective backup documentation that can be utilized in negotiating bids, change orders, or settling disputes. Our computer generated site plans, cross sections and volume reports provide excellent field management support.
