Plan to Get Approved.
Approvals are one of the most critical milestones in any land development project. At AWA, we approach project planning with approvals in mind from the very start. Our consulting connects due diligence, feasibility, entitlements, and permitting into a clear, coordinated process. By representing your interests with agencies and stakeholders, we help keep planning efficient, aligned with project goals, and ready for a smooth transition into design and development.
AWA offers comprehensive land development consulting, guiding clients through every phase—from site selection and due diligence to planning, entitlements, design, construction, and final closeout.
We guide projects from the earliest stages, helping clients outline goals, identify potential risks, and create a roadmap that sets the foundation for approvals.
Our team develops big-picture land use and infrastructure strategies for multi-parcel or mixed-use sites, aligning design, phasing, and community needs.
We translate early project visions into site concepts that balance functionality, compliance, and financial feasibility—setting the stage for detailed engineering and design.
From boundary and topographic surveys to ALTA documentation and construction staking, our surveying services provide the accurate data needed to plan and build with confidence.
Our experts navigate complex entitlement and permitting processes, representing client interests with agencies to help projects move forward efficiently and in compliance.
We support site selection, acquisition strategy, and deal structuring, ensuring real estate decisions are aligned with entitlement potential and project goals.
Through traffic impact analyses and circulation design, we help projects meet agency requirements and create safe, efficient movement for vehicles and pedestrians.
Our team provides cost estimating as part of the planning process to give clients a clearer understanding of potential project expenses. These estimates support feasibility studies, budgeting discussions, and entitlement strategies—helping projects start with realistic expectations and better-informed decisions.
Our team supports project viability through financial analysis and strategy—developing pro formas, exploring tax increment financing, and identifying funding tools that align with project goals

The Power of the AWA Way.
The AWA Way is our integrated approach to land development consulting. By bringing Planning, Approvals, Design, and Delivery together, we streamline complex projects and keep the focus on what matters most: your project. Explore how our model reduces friction, strengthens coordination, and helps transform land into lasting legacies.
Land development is complex—and splitting services across multiple firms often leads to extra meetings, miscommunication, and delays. AWA’s integrated service model brings Planning, Approvals, Design, and Delivery together under one roof, giving you a single point of contact and a seamless path forward.
As land development consultants, we look beyond individual tasks to guide the entire process with a developer-first perspective. Our role is to connect the details—surveys, entitlements, engineering, construction oversight—into a coordinated strategy that supports approvals, cost-conscious design, and efficient delivery.
With an integrated team, information flows faster, decisions are made with full context, and projects move with greater efficiency. Whether you need comprehensive support or targeted expertise, our model reduces friction and keeps your vision at the center from start to finish. It’s how we help our clients turn land into legacy.


With decades of land development experience and proprietary data, we help clients make smarter early decisions. Our insight into regulations, site constraints, and entitlement challenges allows us to spot risks, uncover hidden opportunities, and keep projects on track.
