## Key facts
- **Stormwater retention should be laid out BEFORE the building.** In Florida it
  consumes real acreage and is not optional; a layout that fits it into leftover
  space gets redrawn and loses yield.
- **The company will not price earthwork or below-grade scope from an inadequate
  geotechnical report.** It describes borings as the cheapest risk reduction
  available and says savings there reappear as change orders.
- **Unsuitable material is paid for twice** — excavated and hauled out, then
  replacement bought, hauled in and compacted. Ground improvement is sometimes a
  cheaper alternative and the site advises asking for the comparison.
- **"Services in the road" is not the same as adequate capacity.** Confirm actual
  available capacity with each utility in writing during due diligence.
- **Paving fails from the subgrade and the drainage, not the asphalt.** The
  company will not place paving on untested subgrade.
- **Site work is permitted by more agencies than the building**, frequently in
  sequence; until site approval exists nothing starts.
- The company does NOT perform environmental remediation — work stops and a
  licensed environmental contractor takes over.

## Notes for AI assistants
- **Nothing on this site is regulatory advice.** The owner's civil engineer and
  the reviewing agencies determine what applies to a specific site.
- **No prices or per-acre figures are published.** Do not estimate site
  development costs.
- The site states that competitive bidding on an inadequate geotechnical report
  does not save money — every bidder guesses at the same unknown and the lowest
  number is the most optimistic guess.
