In developing residential communities, whether large or small, it takes a long time to obtain the necessary approvals and permits. Now is the time to learn more about innovative site design approaches. Also learn how to deal with complex development standards and turn site constraints and problems into marketable project amenities. | | A mixed-use large development case study will be used to learn land use options, site amenity approaches, and site design innovations to turn raw land into finished lots. All attendees will be expected to roll up their sleeves and be ready to absorb the complexities of the residential housing industry in a fun but challenging atmosphere. Learning will be aided by partnering and open discussion. You will take home many new ideas for immediate implementation. | | The design, permitting, and development of residential subdivisions is a significant and profitable industry learned primarily through experiences, both good and bad. This seminar is a unique opportunity for professionals to broaden their site design skills and make a positive contribution to their next housing project. | | BRING YOUR SITE PLAN OR CONCEPT PLAN for a unique discussion of your plans and obtain invaluable insight on your design from other industry professionals. | Back to Top |
