Customer Reviews

Great Start

I found this book to contain a great wealth of information. I did not expect to find the meticulous details of every facet of land development, rather a good overview, and this book provides that. Anyone seriously interested in land development will need to do a great deal of additional study in technical publications and local state, county and city codes. This topic is so broad that I doubt any single book could cover all the issues involved. If you're looking for a primer and are prepared to dig deeper, this book is for you. If you're looking for a single comprehensive book on every detail of land development please let me know when you find it!

great start

Woodson doesn't tell the reader how to survey, do his/her own drawings, tell how to design a curb and gutter system. I didn't expect him to! He does walk you through how to get started on the path to be a land developer, including who and/or where to go for the details you will need to get further information, as well as the long list of subjects and details the potential developer needs to consider and explore.

good starting point

Overall this is a good book to get started in land development buy I wish there were more actual examples taking you through all different problems and situations that could arise.

Good Book for Beginners

For those of you interested in getting started on residential real estate development, this book is a wonderful start and a delight to read. The author writes in a down-to-earth, straightforward manner. Great insight into various aspects of analyzing and selecting land and how to approach the development process.
