BMC Early Project Acquisition, Development and Feasibility
Our detailed process of property due diligence allows clients to develop buildable options based on early design requirements, and includes, but not limited to:
- Deed related study for the purchase agreement to clarify any public agency requirements and/or regulations that may affect clients’ goals
- Property survey to determine clear understanding of costs and impact for infrastructure, engineering (soil, traffic, civil) and utilities
- Early entitlement determinations to identify the impact of state and local planning regulations
- Evaluation of historical and preservation requirements
- Focused consideration on municipal zoning development standards and implications:
- Lot set back restrictions
- Lot coverage and floor area ratio
- Building massing objectives
- Property adjacencies
- Height restrictions
- Structure placement on lot – House, Garage, Driveway, Pools & Equipment
- Assistance with site line studies
- Accommodation and protection of heritage trees
- Wildland Urban Interface restrictions
- Hillside slope remediation requirement
A thorough process early in the project can successfully minimize risk, facilitate purchase negotiation and create a solid foundation for the next stage of development.
