Site Development
Construction site development refers to the process of preparing a site for construction. This includes improving soil composition and anything else needed before starting construction. Why? Initiating a construction project without proper site development may interfere with the project’s plan midway, hinder the approval of building permits, and pose significant financial and even legal risks for the project developer or investor.
Site plans are an easy way to keep track of every single change on a construction site. This lets everyone know what’s going on, so there can be less confusion about the changes being made.
Every construction project includes a number of steps and decisions, not to mention all the people involved. But the first step, site development, can be one of the hardest if you’re unprepared.
Subdivision
A subdivision development project is a process of legally dividing up the land for sale or for rent. For example, instead of buying one big plot of land within the city or suburbs – you could legally divide it up into five, ten, or twenty smaller plots – each with its own amenities.
In order to subdivide your land, you need a permit from the appropriate authorities. This could be a local government office or a powerful developer if they are supportive of your project. Along with obtaining this permit, you will need to collect supporting materials for the purpose and goals of your project – site plans, layouts, schematics and others.
A zoning law defines what types of buildings and zones are permitted on a given piece of land. For example, your town has local zoning laws that define which areas can house schools, hospitals, malls, museums and residences.
Even if a residence is technically allowed to be built on an area of land, you still need to determine whether the parcel is zoned for subdivision development. And if you are able to build your new subdivision on this piece of land, it doesn’t mean you’ll be allowed to. You need permits from the government before you can start construction.
A building permit provides you with the legal clearance to build structures on a piece of land. They grant you access to roadways, utilities, and many other privileges according to local law so that you can develop that property.
There are many perks to developing a subdivision; for instance, there is an opportunity for high-profit margins. With this type of property you can cater to various types of people and create subdivisions which maximize profit possibilities.
Subdivision development is a relatively simpler and clearer way to diversify a company’s portfolio or investor’s funds. Dependent on the situation, it could make more income than selling one piece of land.
