Our Process: From Concept to Construction-Ready
A Proven Path to Flawless Site Development
At Earth Development, we don’t just break ground, we break down complexity. We build our process around one goal: delivering construction-ready sites with zero surprises. As a true turnkey partner, we integrate early, communicate clearly, and execute with unmatched precision, guiding you from your initial concept plan through final sign-off with the relevant authority.
Here’s how we ensure every project starts right and stays on track.
Early Collaboration & Budgetary Planning
Once you’ve secured property zoned for your intended use and developed a conceptual site layout with your civil consultants, Earth Development can begin budgetary pricing and value input. Our team evaluates the conceptual plan and infrastructure scope to identify cost-saving opportunities, clarify the scope, and assess construction feasibility, all before we finalize the documents.
“Developers shouldn’t have to manage the complex coordination of multiple contractors.” — That’s where we come in as your single-source solution.
Feasibility Support for Pro Forma Development
With our preliminary input, Earth Development better positions you to build out your entire project Pro Forma, including both horizontal and vertical construction costs. This step helps you validate project viability based on market trends, demographic data, and economic conditions. We support your ability to make confident go/no-go decisions before you make significant commitments.
Scope Refinement & Budget Confirmation
As civil construction documents take shape, Earth Development continues as a hands-on partner, refining budgets and offering value-focused recommendations. This phase leads up to the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and permitting milestones. We help align project scope, construction timelines, and cost expectations, enabling financing to move forward with confidence.
“We understand the pressure to meet financing and construction timelines, and we’re built to deliver.”
Permitting & Preconstruction Activation
Once permitting is secured, Earth Development mobilizes to assist with preconstruction requirements. We work closely with local jurisdictions and your project team to ensure we meet compliance standards and the site is ready for a smooth start. Our familiarity with regional authorities helps streamline this process and prevent unnecessary delays.
“We simplify permitting, coordinate logistics, and eliminate friction, before the first bucket hits the ground.”
Full-Transparency Construction Execution
Once the project breaks ground, we provide ongoing schedule updates, maintain transparency, and remain fully engaged throughout the site development phase. We support the project team with real-time insight into any field conditions, material options, or scope changes that may impact the work. Our rigorous quality control ensures progress stays on track and peace of mind stays intact.
“Precision and partnership aren’t goals, they’re how we work every day.”
Closeout, Final Testing & Next Project Readiness
As the project nears completion, we coordinate Certified As-Builts with your surveyor and package all required inspections and test results for jurisdictional sign-off. Our attention to detail during closeout ensures a seamless transition to vertical construction, often earning us the opportunity to support our clients again on their next development.
“More than 80% of our work is with repeat customers, for good reason.”
