This course discusses a typical overall land development process, from initial review of a vacant property through final approvals and certification after site construction activities. While no two municipalities have the exact same standards or procedures, the course provides a detailed discussion of what can typically be encountered by the Engineer throughout the process, how the Engineer works and interacts with the developer/client and what additional support team members are sometimes needed to complete a project.

Included in the course are discussions on land use and zoning, due diligence evaluations, cost factors, design standards, plan preparation, permitting and approval to construct activities and project close-out.
