Intro to Land Development

In this video, I will discuss what a land development engineer does at the very start of a project and dive a little into the thought process behind a project. This video is meant to be an introductory course into Land Development engineering for college students and interns.
Below is a high-level order breakdown of a land development project:
1. Due Diligence Studies
2. Preliminary Concept Plan Development
3. Zoning / Preliminary Site Plan Approval (Local Municapality)
4. Engineering Design Development
5. Construction Plan Development
6. Local Government Approval Process / Comment-Responses
7. Construction Approval
8. Construction Certifications
9. Project Closeout
Very important items you need to begin a project (typically):
- Topographic / Boundary Survey
- Geotech Report
- Environmental Study
- Traffic Study
- Utility availability (water, sewer, etc)
- Watershed model / local drainage reports

I am currently an EIT in the state of Texas with 6 months of experience in Land development. I really enjoy listening to this high level perspective on land development because at the entry level, you usually are only focused on wet utilities designs ( maybe dry utility too, haven't done that yet) and low level grading like lot grading. It would be interesting if you made a video exploring what a fresh out of college engineer will be focusing on early in the land development career and what they need in order to be successful at that stage.

I could definitely throw that video together. There’s so much to build on!

[@nehemiahstewart]

Great video! Looking forward to seeing more!

[@griffinfurlong]

Awesome! Thank you. We will keep diving into what it takes to see a project move forward

[@ahmadozairomar439]

Thank you very much. You are fantastic

[@griffinfurlong]

That means a lot! I will be uploading a video soon about lift station design-should be a good one!

Does this land development field prepare you for starting a business in real estate development? Have you ever considered taking that path?

[@griffinfurlong]

You sure see a huge side of the industry. I think it helps. We actually help create the budgets for these jobs
