Overview
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.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Map the roles and responsibilities of the engineer, developer, and specialized team members throughout a land-development project.
- Perform due-diligence checks for land use, zoning, constructability, budget, and project feasibility at appropriate project stages.
- Prepare a compliance checklist covering design standards, permitting, approvals, construction support, close-out, and certification activities.
- Integrate technical, regulatory, and project-management requirements into a coherent land-development workflow.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 22 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
