Most of my adult life has been based around real estate in some way.I had an Architecture/drafting passion in high school which led me to an Associates Degree in Architectural Engineering.

Sewer might be more difficult and could take an engineer to do some calcs, before you know for sure.

The consultant who prepares the work write-up and cost estimate (or an architect, engineering or home inspection service) needs to inspect the property to assure: (1) there are no rodents, dryrot, termites and other infestation; (2) there are no defects that will affect the health and safety of the occupants; (3) the adequacy of the existing structural, heating, plumbing, electrical and roofing systems; and (4) the upgrading of thermal protection (where necessary).

....and one of those neat add ons is an Internet Explorer rendering engine, that allows you to view picky sites within Firefox!

I had a structural engineer look at the building and bless it off(140 year old building, so he said needs to be monitored).

The best advise I can give is to contact the utilities engineering department directly.In my experience some utility companies do a 2 to 3 year assessment of how much power the new building will use.

It involves lawyers, ecological surveys, traffic analysis studies, engineers, and lots of public hearings with vocal local protesters.Sometimes it is possible to get a zoning varience for one parcel, if the intended use is already listed in the code as being an allowed varience.Each area is going to be different, though.

I have been a mortgage loan officer, and for the last two years building "System Engineered Residential Homes and Light Commercial buildings.

With regard to all the infrastructure jobs that will supposedly be created by the new administration - do you really want Chrysler engineers designing and Chrysler assembly workers building your bridges?

Don't forget to just go on any search engine and type in property listing sites to get more.
