Precision at the Ground Level: Land Surveying and Planning
EVstudio’s Land Surveying and Planning teams deliver precise data and strategic guidance to support successful development from concept to construction. We use advanced technology to provide accurate boundary, topographic, and construction surveys for projects of every size and complexity.
Our planners translate community goals, zoning requirements, and site constraints into clear, buildable land use strategies tailored to each client’s vision. We collaborate closely with our internal team of architects and engineers to streamline approvals and ensure projects align with jurisdictional requirements.
From feasibility to final plat, we guide your project with accuracy, efficiency, and a commitment to your long-term success.

Lone Tree Mixed Use Development
Lone Tree Mixed Use Development

Lone Tree is a perfect example of the many Planning stages a large development can go through. From hand sketch concepts to a density study and site feasibility study, EVstudio has been a trusted partner with our client through the entire process. Our team of designers hand drew sketches, dived deep into the local code for the project’s feasibility, and presented the findings to the client to high praise. View the final concept video here.

Terms like use by right, allowed use, zoning code, waivers, easements, and platting often signal complex hurdles in a project’s path. These aren’t just words—they represent real challenges that can slow progress or derail your vision.
At EVstudio, our interdisciplinary team brings deep expertise and hands-on experience to navigate every planning and design technicality. We’ve built strong relationships with municipalities, and we understand how to move projects forward smoothly and efficiently.
When you partner with EVstudio, you gain more than design services—you gain a trusted ally who anticipates challenges, solves problems, and turns obstacles into opportunities.
Your partner from the very beginning.
- Simplifying the process. The natural sequence of having your Site Development team be the very team as your Civil, Survey, and Architecture team makes the entire process and execution of the overall vision perfectly seamless.

We will assist in the transfer and support your sales efforts by providing information to your buyers for a smooth transition of the project at any stage.
- Planning defined. The term Planning can mean a variety of things to our clients. To provide the best value to you, we offer a variety of services including, but not limited to, Entitlements, Re-Zoning, Feasibility Studies, Density Studies, Master Planning, Campus Planning, Site Planning, Neighborhood, and Community Planning. All with the strong foundation of in-house Surveying behind them.
