Land Planning
RJOC believes the key to the success of any development project lies within the planning phase, where a project is assessed for development potential. During this phase, we work closely with you to program and incorporate your needs into the planning process. Our planning services do not end with just the preparation of a development program; we also evaluate the following:
- Zoning and Regulatory Permit Requirements
- Utility Services Availability and Capacity
- Environmental Preservation
- Due Diligence Studies
- Open Space Planning
- Cost Estimating
Land Surveying
A quality survey is critical to several aspects of the civil engineering and land planning fields. Land surveying plays a part in everything from due diligence and design to construction layout and as-builts. Being a multi-disciplinary firm, our surveyors know how to meet the needs of the design team. Our surveyors have the education, experience, and equipment to provide high-quality surveys. We use state-of-the-art robotic instruments, data collectors, GPS receivers, and the latest AutoCAD Civil 3D software to ensure our surveys are efficient, accurate, and complete. We perform a wide variety of survey services, including:
- Boundary Retracement & ALTA Land Title Surveys
- Existing Conditions Plans
- Subdivision & Easement Plans
- Condominium Site & Floor Plans
- Land Court Petition & Division Plans
- Wetland Location & Floodplain Surveys
- Construction Layout Services
