How Can SVC Help You?
If you own or are planning to purchase land that you want to develop you will run into regulations that control land use, growth, and development – especially if the property contains a wetland, stream, or shoreline. These critical areas are protected by laws that regulate what you can build and where you can build it. SVC is highly experienced with land-use regulations. Our professional staff works with local, state and federal regulatory agencies every day. We can successfully navigate regulatory challenges and provide solutions that are innovative, practical, and highly successful.
Including our services early in a project is proven to increase project efficiency, lower costs through better site utilization, and reduce delays in planning and permitting. SVC is a solutions-oriented company that specializes in accurate assessments, well-planned site utilization, and intelligent permitting and compliance strategies to meet the needs of our clients.
