Trusted Advisors
"While on the development side as a client of ETM’s I experienced how they think about the overall project. They explore how to create more value with the land rather than just produce a set of plans. When I was hiring engineers, I always compared whoever I was hiring to ETM. The bar is set so high at ETM with how they manage their client interaction and quality of staff, and I wanted to emulate that."
- Jason Crews, ETM Project Manager (Formerly with a Development Firm)
Creating Community
"Regulatory planning is a critical component of every real estate deal and ETM is here to guide you. Land use planning is simply the process of regulating private or public land use through an entitlement process. It promotes desirable outcomes in social and environmental arenas, and promotes the efficient use of resources and infrastructure. We do this every day here at ETM and you contribute to it when you drive to work, choose where to send your children to school, and decide where to vacation and relax."
- Lindsay Haga, AICP, ETM Planning Manager
How We Work
While the land development journey is long, you cannot close with your buyers and make money until you deliver the finished product. Our team of owners representatives and construction managers are there to help you do everything from recording the plat to negotiating the contractors contract.
OFFSITEWhen development starts to move forward, there are inevitably offsite roads and utilities to analyze and improve. With in-house public sector groups, we have the team to handle your needs.
Site EngineeringThoughtful design matters because details matter. The final execution of the detailed construction drawings is critical since these are the actual documents that the contractor builds the project from. All the planners’ sketches and dreams come to final fruition in the engineering documents on the land.
Traffic ModelingTraffic planning is often the most contentious part of any large entitlement process. Our in-house traffic modeling team is fully capable of performing the traffic modeling and entitlement support to defend the trips on the road.
Land MangementThoughtful land management creates tremendous value when final permitting and development comes. Everything from what direction the pine tree beds are planted to the details of trail roads and ditches add value towards maintaining the land for its optimized development output.
PlacemakingBold planning and placemaking set in the framework of known constraints allow for the foundation of a lasting community. A strong vision of what can be created is required for any asset that will be generational. Our team of land planners, landscape architects, and regulatory planners know how to cast this vision and set it in motion.
Land DevThere are many variables that come together for the ongoing value creation of any land portfolio. ETM works with many landowners who each control tens of thousands of acres. We work together tirelessly to add value and ultimately monetize the land.
District EngineerSpecial Districts are a key driver of large land developments. Florida governmental entities have a tremendous amount of value in creating incredible amenity-rich communities. There are many nuances to being District Engineer as well as guiding a client through a development with a District in place. ETM’s Land Development team has experience with over 40 special districts.
SurveyWhen it is time to move from planner-level sketches to engineering detail, information from the field is normally the longest critical path item in the schedule. ETM’s Survey team of in-house field crews, aerial capabilities, and SUE give us the breadth and depth to move quickly.
GSTManaging information in real-time can be challenging. Our GST team allows clients to host private GIS portals with client-specific data and mapping accessible in real-time.
