Land Development Due Diligence
Mapping Your Project’s Potential Every successful development begins with a clear map of the road ahead. At Latitude Civil, our Due Diligence services provide the critical insights you need to transform raw land into a realized vision. We identify regulatory hurdles and infrastructure realities early in the process—ensuring your investment is built on solid ground.
Utility Assessment
Determining the location, capacity, and connection requirements for potable water, sanitary sewer, reclaimed water, and power.
Identifies expensive off-site extension requirements early, allowing you to negotiate purchase price or adjust your budget for “hidden” infrastructure costs.
Stormwater Analysis
Reviewing FEMA flood zones, soil maps, and preliminary drainage outfall requirements to anticipate fill and retention needs.
Critical for Florida projects—this determines how much expensive fill dirt you need to import and how much land you lose to retention ponds, directly impacting your usable acreage.
Access & Connectivity
Planning site access and internal circulation, identifying driveway permit requirements, and coordinating with the project’s transportation consultant, who evaluates the main access points and any FDOT or county traffic requirements.
Flags potential turn lane or signal requirements early, so they’re built into the site layout and budget instead of forcing a redesign later.
Permitting Pathway & Timeline
Outlining the specific agencies with jurisdiction (City/County, Water Management Districts, DEP, etc.) and estimating approval timelines.
Provides a realistic schedule for your investors and lenders, helping you accurately forecast carrying costs and loan maturity.
Site Planning
Create preliminary sketches to test how many units, lots, or building square footage typically fit on the site.
Moves beyond abstract numbers to visually prove if the site can physically fit the density required to meet your Return on Investment (ROI) targets.
Opinion of Probable Cost
Providing high-level cost estimates for site work and infrastructure to aid in financial modeling.
Replaces guesswork with engineering-backed data, ensuring your initial pro forma and financial models are grounded in reality.
