Subdivision Design and Layout



Whether two lots or two hundred lots, US Surveyor provides all phases of subdivision engineering services including boundary and topography surveying, construction phasing, plat and infrastructure design, grading plans, drainage design, traffic impact studies, and cost estimates.

Understanding you, the developer, and your needs is first and foremost.
Initial meetings to develop the necessary strategies for a successful and cost effective design are crucial, as is cost analysis for an effective construction budget and rate of return on investment.

Preliminary meetings with regulatory agencies to assure compliance.
Time tables will be established for the submission and approval processes. Meeting with regulatory officials, including engineering officials, helps to eliminate re-submissions, which in turn helps to eliminate delays and plan revisions.

Review of Zoning and Platting regulations.
Local and regional zoning requirements including current land use zoning and current use of property are thoroughly reviewed. Analysis of local development trends and adjacent property uses are also considered. Special conditions are researched such as tax abatement, enterprise zones, and any other conditions which may affect the subject property.

Preliminary Design.
U.S Surveyor's staff of trained professionals will assure that the plan is in conformance with developer's needs and budget.

Additionally, appropriate governmental agencies will be consulted prior to final submissions.

Design Phase and Considerations.
Many factors are considered in the initial design phase such as wetlands assessment, soil types, erosive factors including erosion control plans, adjacent rights of way and accessibility, and off-site and on-site drainage issues. Special consideration is given to receiving drainage areas. Detention will be as required, with emphasis on aesthetic use. Grading and special consideration will be given to a proper cut and fill balance. Factors such as landscaping and utilization of effective berms for practical and aesthetic solutions will all be considered, as will professional design conditions of pavement alignment for project enhancement, sanitary, storm sewer and waterline design, utilizing "the shortest route mentality" for maximum cost savings. Coordination of utilities (gas, electric telephone and CATV), design and placement, are also of prime consideration.

Construction Inspection.
This will assure that the developer's investment is maintained, and to assure that "acceptance for maintenance" is painless.

As-Built Plans.
These are performed very cost effectively as detailed project and infrastructure measurements maintained throughout the project. Project Close Out.
All proper filings to appropriate governmental agencies. Representation for acceptance of maintenance for infrastructure.

U.S. Surveyor provides developers with innovative and cost effective design solutions.
