  • Ensure that site is clear of all environmental issues and development setbacks.
  • Hire an engineer to provide a plat of the property, develop a site plan and design building plans for the project.
  • Hire a contractor to construct the building pad.
  • Work with utility providers to either extend all utilities to site or to provide extension plans.
  • Develop plans to extend road access to the site.
  • Outline project cost and construction timeline.
