Land Development

Land Development addresses the questions of how best to plan for and manage when and where new residential and commercial development, schools, and major highways should be built and located; how and where to preserve meaningful open space and protect environmentally-sensitive areas; and how to pay for the infrastructure required to serve a growing population.

How well we plan for projected and inevitable increases in households, changing demographics and lifestyles and an expanding economy will have a major impact on the quality of life in years ahead. Residential and commercial growth is fluid - meaning that when it is stopped in one place, it will inevitably occur somewhere else. Public policy and the housing preferences of Americans dictate where development occurs.

Responsible development of communities requires the input of experts in a variety of fields and engineering disciplines. Converse Consultants has been involved in the siting, design and construction of many large, master-planned communities. Our services have included the initial environmental site assessments, preliminary and design level geotechnical investigations and grading monitoring, compaction testing and laboratory analyses of site soils during construction.
