Development of almost any commercial or industrial sites and many residential sites requires preparation and approval of a set of plans related to grading, storm water management, utilities, access considerations, and erosion control. The requirements vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but many aspects are standardized throughout Georgia.

The typical subdivision requires construction of roads and extension of utilities. Planning must account not only for the engineering aspects of road slopes, building sites, and utility capacities, but also local zoning or land use restrictions. It is imperative to plan for the long term to create a development that will be a winner for all involved when the last lot is sold.

Often the project includes dividing or re-dividing property around existing or separately permitted infrastructure. This too requires consideration of local regulations as well as the needs and requirements of the end users of each tract.
