Land Use Planning   Land master planning is a mainstay service of CSC with a reputation for creativity and uniqueness.  Significant thought and effort goes into each of our plans to incorporate a variety of factors – physical and regulatory constraints, adjoining development types and market trends or projections – to create a plan or concept that attempts to set itself apart from others to maintain or enhance marketability.     Land planning for project implementation goes beyond simple lot layouts, yield calculations and cost estimating. Understanding the builder’s marketing needs and the community’s desires and process is influential in both approvals and successful development.  CSC’s process of using creative and freehand concept sketches develops a quick analyses allows our personnel to envision the site’s design with unique solutions to roadways, lot layout and open-space areas. These designs can be scanned and computer orientated. When these plans are compared to standard engineer layouts, a greater lot yield potential and maximum land usage results. This hands-on solution is effective toward government approvals and cost-responsive to the larger view of the development.   Golf Course and Recreational Facility Design CSC’s extensive experience with golf course projects spans over 18 various golf course designs.
