I am a professional computer engineer, lost my job about 4 months ago and been looking but nothing has popped up.

Tangible Personal PropertyIn Reg. 1.48-1{c}, the IRS defines tangible personal property as “any tangible property except land and improvements thereto, such as buildings or other inherently permanent structures (including items which are structural components of such buildings or structures).”When segregating the assets, the Cost Seg engineer uses the six identifiers created by the IRS to establish permanency which determines if an asset is a structural component and not personal property.                      1) Is the property capable of being moved, and has it in fact been moved?

The city will sometimes require us to get architectural drawings or structural engineers for items which we may not have needed from the beginning.

Partner Environmental Science and Engineering is reasonably priced.

Born and raised in the PNW where I currently work in the engineering field.

I'm  engineer supporting plants in Cleburne and Ennis (~1hr apart).

@Jon Coleman I am leaving my full time job as a software engineer now that I can comfortably do so, and am planning to dive into REI as a full time gig for the time being.

Check to see if you have to install any manholes, fire hydrants, curb, gutter, sidewalks, street signs, street lighting any specific street design or access requirements, Check DOT requirements for access, stop lights and permits, traffic studies, DWQ requirements for permits, permit fees and time frames.Once you have an idea of what you can build and what is required in terms of permitting and infrastructure you want to talk to some civil engineers, architects and commercial general contractors that do the type of projects and build the type of buildings you want to build so you can get an idea of costs, time frame and requirements.This is a brief and broad overview of how the development process works what's required before you get too far down the road or purchase a property.

As far as determining development possibilities, you have to research the zoning designations and what can be done within them, get whatever info you can from the local planning department, or consult with a local architect/engineer/design-build firm who works with developers.

Unless the local rules require it, I would not involve a civil engineer except possibly to testify on your behalf (see next section).
