Land Development
 The entitlement process continues to become more complex every day. The number of permits required for the most straight-forward projects continues to grow. The number of permits from federal, state, and local governments can overwhelm the most sophisticated real estate development firm.
The sheer number and complexity of land use permits required today demands a thoughtful, strategic approach to achieving full entitlement for real estate development projects. The sequencing of permitting applications and approvals can make a significant difference in the way projects are received in the marketplace as well as with regulatory agencies. In addition, thoughtful dialogue and project development can avoid or minimize permits from the outset.
In addition, our society now places a very high value on sustainable development practices, such as smart growth, transit oriented development, low impact development, brownfield redevelopment, open space and cluster residential development. Sustainable development practices help secure public and regulatory support. In many cases, sustainable development practices are mandatory. Emphasizing sustainable development practices is an essential strategy in today’s regulatory framework.

Environment and Energy
 The built environment requires continually evolving strategies to adapt to changing regulations and society values. This is no more evident than in the way our society approaches the environment and energy challenges. We view these challenges as tremendous opportunities to frame issues in bold terms while securing public support for sought after solutions.
The energy market sector must find new ways to generate the energy needed to sustain our economy. At the same time, they must sustain and expand existing energy generation and delivery systems. These energy projects require constant permitting, design, and community participation.
Environmental services are required for virtually every project undertaken in our communities. From state and federal environmental schemes, to specific energy infrastructure approval processes, we offer the necessary services to advance these projects from inception to completion. By providing everything from environmental documentation, to design services, to community relations, we help get our clients’ projects done.
