New Sub-Division Development for Duplexes or Fourplexes

[Jaye Gurrala]

We own a 4 acre lot and are planning to build a new sub-division with Duplexes or Fourplexes in the San Antonio area. I would request the experts to please educate us on where to start and what are the steps that we have to follow.

We are talking to couple of Engineers and General Contractors to get more information to see if the project is feasible. Thanks for all your input.

Planning a new subdivision in San Antonio or any other city is not for the beginner investor. Yes you have to talk with engineers, planners, excavators, City of San Antonio(cosa) for electric, SAWS for water and sewer. You may need a phase 1 environmental assesment. I would not get a general contractor to build your streets or drainage or your retention pond. If you have not done a project like this, I would get someone who has to partner with you to keep you out of trouble.
