Conceptual Design
Conceptual design is the critical first phase of any project, transforming the client’s vision into a tangible plan by outlining the desired features while considering specific project constraints. This stage helps visualize the big picture, setting clear expectations for the development process. Early identification of potential constraints is crucial to the success of the proposed development. During a conceptual design study, EPOCH focuses on several key areas:
- Feasibility Studies: Assessing the viability of the project, including economic, technical, and scheduling considerations.
- Mass Grading and Earthwork: Planning the large-scale movement of soil to shape the land for the development.
- Drainage Concepts: Developing strategies to manage water flow and prevent flooding.
- Watershed and Floodplain Analysis: Evaluating the impact of the project on local watersheds and floodplains to ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
- Utility Connections: Planning the integration of essential utilities such as water, electricity, and gas.
- Sewer Studies: Designing efficient sewer systems to support the development.
