Comprehensive Land Development Services

The first step in any land development project is thorough site planning and analysis. At JRH, we conduct detailed evaluations of your property to assess its suitability for development. 

​

Haven't purchased the land yet? Call us first so we can evaluate whether the site will work for the development applications you have in mind. We offer a preliminary feasibility evaluation service to determine if your development track will meet your goals.

​

Once the land is purchased, our process begins with a site plan, where we collaborate with you to understand your vision and goals. We then ask you to hire a surveyor to conduct a topographical survey, which provides critical data about the land’s contours, elevation, and existing features.

​

Our planning division will also collect information on wet utilities, water availability, grading requirements, and detention needs. This data is crucial for creating a comprehensive plan that aligns with your vision and your municipality's regulatory requirements.

Grading is a critical component of any land development project. By addressing grading and drainage early in the process, we help you avoid costly issues down the line.

​

Our firm excels in creating precise grading plans that ensure proper land leveling and drainage. Our plans are designed to accommodate your site's unique topography while meeting any applicable land development code.

​

Effective utility design is essential for the success of any land development project. Our team specializes in designing and laying out essential site utilities, including water, sewer, and drainage systems.

 

We work closely with you to ensure that these utilities are integrated seamlessly into the overall site plan, meeting your needs as well as municipal code.

​

Stormwater management is a key concern for developers, particularly when it comes to meeting environmental regulations and preventing flooding. JRH provides expert design services for detention ponds and other stormwater management systems.

 

Our detention pond designs are optimized to manage stormwater runoff effectively, reducing the risk of flooding and ensuring compliance with local regulations.

​

Detention ponds are often the number one deterrent for potential land developers, especially those unfamiliar with the process. At JRH, we guide you through the complexities of stormwater management, ensuring that your project is both environmentally responsible and compliant with all necessary regulations.

In addition to stormwater management, JRH Engineering offers comprehensive services for Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPP) and other environmental compliance needs. 

​

Our focus on ecological engineering ensures that your land development project meets regulatory standards and contributes to a healthier built environment.

Navigating the permitting process can be one of the most challenging aspects of land development. While JRH Engineering does not handle the permitting itself, we play a crucial role in ensuring your permit applications are approved. Our expertise in local regulations across Texas and North Carolina allows us to expedite the approval process, minimizing delays and keeping your project on track.

​

It’s important to note that while we guide you through the approval process, the contractor or a permitting company is responsible for obtaining the actual permits. We strongly advise clients to consult us before purchasing any property to identify and address potential issues early.
