Feasibility & Due Diligence Studies
I perform on-site evaluations for land purchase or commercial development. Before you commit to a property, ensure your vision is technically and regulatorily viable in Western North Carolina's unique terrain.
The PE Advantage
Having a Professional Engineer evaluate your site provides the technical confidence needed for high-stakes land decisions.
- Slope & Access: Driveway slope feasibility (Buncombe 18% rule).
- Site Drainage: Identifying runoff patterns and floodplain risks.
- Soils & Geotech: Evaluating stability for mountain construction.
- Utilities: Proximity and capacity for sewer, water, and septic.
- Regulatory: Review of local HOA, city, and county constraints.
Frequently Asked Questions
Local municipalities require strict adherence to steep-slope ordinances. My study identifies these "red flags" early.
A property PIN or address is enough to begin. I can often use Buncombe County GIS topography to start.
