Rules Of Land Development Design

2. Find out the nature of the land Like a sculptor would shape a stone in a way completing its natural form size and shape, you must approach land development considering the nature of the land with all its aspects. Find out what the land has got to offer. Take note of its surroundings and visualize the impact of the additions you will make. Design the development in such a way itwill suit the natural shape and form of the land. Make a smart use of the available space You can apply the age old adage “measure twice, cut once” to the concept of land development too. Explore ways to make an efficient design. Though mostdesigns might look efficient, they leave littersof space lying waste.

3. Let the client and market needs meet each other People can either make or break an efficient land development. It is important to depute the right people for the right kind of tasks. This will guarantee your success. At the same time, you need to consider the market. Design in the reverse order The two biggest aspects of land development that can be expensive and tricky are earthwork and storm water management. You must start with the main building, move on to the front yard and then to the street. This plan can help you manage dirt and storm water in an efficientway.

4. Keep the street for the last It is never a good idea to start designing the street first and then try to fit in the buildings around it. You must focus mainly on the building infrastructure since it is going to accommodate your operations for any use you intend. Once you have designed the main part of infrastructure you can move to the street design. This can leavea big impact on the success of yourdesign. the building Go with the topography Ignoring the topography is a big mistake people do in land design and development. Engineers say, “Stuff does not run uphill”. An unplanned and poorly laid out land design can look great for the first phase, but might pose serious problems during the subsequent developments. Know that gravity sewer is the best approach that can minimize the spending on it. A holisticplan can letyou rely less on liftstations.

5. Approach every aspect for the greater whole A holistic approach is a must for land design and development. You can think of integrating storm water by converting storm water conveyance into amenities. This can also minimize piping needs. Allow for pedestrian flow and go for layout lots that can help maximize the view corridors. Ensure that each element of the design adds up to the perfect whole. While you might approach the land design and development like trying to see the forest through the trees, often some adjustments might be needed tosucceed.
