What We Do

End-to-end planning and entitlement support tailored to Massachusetts zoning and the municipal approval process across Greater Boston.

01

Zoning & Land Use Analysis

We review your parcel against the local zoning bylaw — permitted uses, dimensional requirements, overlays, and special permit triggers — so you understand what's possible by right and what needs relief before you invest.

02

Site Feasibility Studies

Test-fit studies, yield analysis, and a clear read on wetlands, frontage, parking, and infrastructure constraints — the go / no-go answer you need before committing capital.

03

Permit & Planning Board Applications

We prepare and assemble special permit, variance, site plan review, and subdivision submissions — narratives, plan sets coordination, and filings — to municipal standards across Greater Boston.

04

Affordable Housing Consulting

Strategy and documentation for Chapter 40B comprehensive permits, local inclusionary requirements, and compliance with the MBTA Communities multi-family zoning law.

05

Community Outreach & Public Meetings

We prepare you for Planning Board, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Conservation Commission hearings — including presentation materials, abutter communication, and public meeting support.

06

GIS Mapping & Planning Presentations

GIS-based context maps, zoning diagrams, and planning graphics that make a complex proposal legible to boards, abutters, and lenders.

07

Owner Representation & Project Coordination

We represent the owner's interests and coordinate architects, engineers, surveyors, and attorneys — keeping the schedule, scope, and municipal process moving from feasibility through approval.
