Land Develoment Due Dilligence
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
Evaluating site access points, driveway permit requirements, and coordination with FDOT or county transportation departments.
Avoids surprise mandates for turn lanes or traffic signals that can kill a budget or force a redesign of the site layout.

Opinion of Probable Cost
Providing high-level cost estimates for site work and infrastructure to aid in financial modeling.
