BuilderBooks.com: Navigate the Challenges of Land Development

In an environment of increasing local governmental regulations and constraints on land use combined with a growing concern over smart growth, land development has become an even greater challenge for builders. 

To better prepare for this challenge, BuilderBooks.com has released “Land Development, 10th Edition,” a step-by-step guide to help builders learn how to successfully navigate through the complicating land development process.

The recently released edition contains new sections that examine the latest environmental regulations affecting land development, emerging demographics for targeted marketing and new innovations in housing types. The book emphasizes flexibility in order to accommodate the ever-changing trends in demographics, plan designs, technology and regulations.

“Land Development” is written by Daisy Linda Kone, a Houston-based architect, planner and manager in the design-build residential construction industry who specializes in the environmental impact of construction and residential construction development.

A key resource for developers, builders and students, “Land Development” helps readers better understand the interrelated factors that contribute to a successful land development project, including:

  • Market study and analysis
  • Financing
  • Site selection and analysis
  • Environment regulations
  • Developing a master plan concept
  • Site engineering and storm water management
  • Neighborhood and street design
