WHAT WE DO - SERVICES
PLANNING & ENTITLEMENTS
We help property owners navigate the legal process of obtaining all necessary permits and approvals from government agencies to develop a piece of land for a specific use, including zoning changes, variances, and other required entitlements, essentially paving the way for construction to begin on a project by addressing all regulatory hurdles involved.
Entitlement involves:
Analyzing existing zoning regulations, coordinating with local planning departments, preparing development plans, conducting environmental impact studies, managing public hearings, and advocating for project approval before relevant boards and commissions.
Who needs it: Property owners, developers, and investors who want to build a new development project on a piece of land, whether residential, commercial, or industrial.
Important aspects of the process:
Due diligence: Assessing the property's current zoning, potential environmental concerns, and existing development regulations.
Zoning analysis: Determining if the desired land use is permitted under current zoning or if zoning changes are required.
Site planning: Designing the layout of the development considering factors like access, density, and environmental considerations.
Permitting: Applying for necessary permits including grading, building (see design and documentation below), and environmental permits.
Community engagement: Communicating project plans to the local community and addressing concerns.
DESIGN & DOCUMENTATION
Architectural Design and documentation is the process of creating drawings, specifications, and other documents to communicate the technical details and design intent of a building project and to obtain a building permit.
It's an important part of the architectural design process and is typically divided into four phases: schematic design, design development, and construction documents.
Architectural documentation is important because it provides builders with the information they need to complete a project to the highest standards. This includes details about the materials, volumes, and intricacies of the project, which allows builders to accurately forecast costs.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT, CONSTRUCTION OBSERVATION AND QUALITY CONTROL
Project management and construction coordination involves ensuring that all parties involved in a project are aligned and working towards a common goal.

Communication: TBE provides strong communication skills to effectively convey information and keep everyone informed, maintain open lines of communication with clients, and provide regular updates.
