You may be familiar with the concept of land development, but you may not be aware of the many facets of the development process. Commercial and residential land development includes a number of improvements that can be performed to prepare land for construction. These improvements include demolition, rezoning, installing utilities, or building foundations and driveways. The commercial development experts at Abercrombie & Associates in Cincinnati, OH, are here to explain what you should know about land development.

Land development can include subdividing real estate into lots to build homes, road construction including sidewalks and parking lots, landscaping, and fence installation. Land is developed in order to make it more usable and to increase the value of the property. It can be converted to a recreational facility, rented as farmland, or built into residential housing.

Land development typically involves many preparatory steps and approvals, including obtaining development approvals and getting completed lots for sale to interested builders. The development approval process can vary, but it can take several months to years to obtain all the approvals and permits to begin development. Before they begin the development process, land developers should have a plan in place detailing their reasons to develop and a financial statement detailing their assets and liabilities. They also need a reliable team of contractors, civil engineers, and land surveyors to help guide them through the process.
