Build with Confidence, Start with Certainty.

Before the first permit is pulled or the first dollar is spent, one question can shape the entire success of your real estate development:
Do you truly understand your site?

At O’Connell Development Group, we offer thorough Site Analysis, Environmental Studies, and Due Diligence services to uncover the real story behind your land. We help you see clearly, plan wisely, and move forward without costly surprises.

Why a Site Study Isn’t Optional

In development, the wrong assumptions can cost millions. Overlooked zoning issues, environmental flags, or legal entanglements can stall or sink a project altogether.

Our comprehensive assessments are designed to:

  • Identify hidden risks before they become roadblocks

  • Streamline approvals and permitting processes

  • Ensure environmental and regulatory compliance

  • Provide actionable insight to shape smarter development decisions

Our Site Analysis Services, Explained

1. Site Analysis

We provide a 360-degree view of your land’s physical and logistical viability. Our evaluations include:

  • Current zoning classifications and land-use permissions

  • Topography, slopes, and drainage that impact buildability

  • Availability of utilities, road access, and service infrastructure

  • Subsurface conditions affecting soil stability and foundations

This strategic review answers: What can I build here? And how feasible is it?

2. Environmental Studies

Environmental due diligence is no longer optional—it’s essential.

We conduct and coordinate:

  • Phase I and II Environmental Site Assessments (ESA)

  • Reviews of floodplains, wetlands, endangered species

  • Analysis of soil and groundwater contamination

  • Stormwater impact and runoff modeling

  • Documentation to support regulatory compliance

Our team helps you navigate environmental regulations confidently and avoid costly missteps.

 

3. Legal Due Diligence

Before acquisition or development, we help you verify:

  • Property title and ownership

  • Existence of easements, liens, or encumbrances

  • Land covenants, deed restrictions, or zoning overlays

  • Local tax obligations and historical land usage

Think of this as your project’s legal safety net—ensuring no hidden issues compromise your investment.
