Other restrictions to be aware of are minimum road sizes (for developments overa certain size), land development TAX and
infrastructure requirements.
If the process of land development is followed in accordance with the law, and design and engineering considerations are commissioned by a professional
engineering company, the investor can benefit from
a rapid and often lucrative return
Designing plots, roads and other infrastructure (electricity, water etc) is a service offered by
KP earth science. We base our engineering designs
upon:
- availability of accurate topographical survey data
- provision of legal title deeds and local authority influences
- local natural resources
- regional services
- agreed legal access rights to the land parcel
- client requirements and specifications
Design and project management - We know how to do it and we do it fast, legally and correctly. Time costs money, and the stresses can be enormous,
especially when you're operating outside of your natural arena and dealing with your investors cash. We know this and work to save you and your financers money
without making rash decisions and overlooking the importance of due diligence and thorough project.
In our experience, during the initial design phase it is far better and more environmentally forgiving (and often cheaper) to work with the
natural lay of the land. This allows the engineer to determine an aesthetically pleasing and naturally compromising design.
Old school designers have a tendency to lay out a conventional, western, housing development style mathematical grid over a landscape with total disregard for natural features such as large trees, boulders
and gullies, creeks and ridges. This inevitably leads to the developer experiencing expensive and unplanned problems, such as impossible road building and often catastrophic drainage problems.
