Site Development Services, Inc.

SDS and the Land Development Process

Our services can be utilized during virtually any phase of the land development process.

Site Feasibility Phase

SDS provides earthwork analyses, balanced site grades, and feasibility cost estimates based on as little information as existing topo, a rough layout of parking and building locations, and a minimum of proposed spot elevations.

Site Design Phase

SDS provides assistance in balancing, quantifying, and estimating alternative design schemes in order to minimize design and land development costs.

Estimating/Budgeting Phase

SDS provides quick, realistic cost estimates or quantities for your own price estimating and comparisons.

Construction Phase

SDS provides detailed information with effective backup documentation that can be utilized in negotiating bids, change orders, or settling disputes.

Our computer generated site cut/fill plans, cross sections and volume reports provide excellent field management support.

Turn-Around Time

At SDS we will do whatever it takes to meet your deadline and will always strive to finish early. While our turn-around time is usually 1-3 days, we can provide overnight service if necessary. We will email our report to you as soon as the job is done. Hard copies are available, at any scale, upon request.

Follow-up Service

Once you have received our report please call us at your convenience to discuss and review your project so that we can answer any questions you may have. We can always make changes and revisions to your project as needed and as plan design is updated and refined.

Affordable

The cost of our service depends on project size and complexity. Most of our work is done on a lump sum basis so you will know what our service will cost and how long it will take before we begin. Please email your plans to us at info@sdssite.com and upon request we will provide you with a fixed fee proposal for your authorization before we begin work on your project.

Working from your CAD files drastically reduces the time necessary to estimate lengths, areas and volumes, provides data in infinitely greater detail, and dramatically reduces the variation between estimated and actual quantities. In addition, all estimating can be completed in a very short turnaround time.

The low cost of this valuable information now makes it possible for use in all phases of project development from financial feasibility studies, to design, to bidding, to change order negotiation.
