An engineer’s layout built from real site data — not a napkin sketch. Your yield, your product type, your constraints, mapped before you commit serious capital.
A defensible number based on actual site constraints — floodplain, setbacks, topography, utility availability — not a guess from Google Earth. Plug it straight into your pro forma.
Presentation-quality, engineer-informed, and designed to show exactly what the site can support. Show it to your lender, your seller, your equity partner. Most firms charge $2,500+ for this.

Five fields. That’s it. We pull the rest — parcel data, zoning, topo, floodplain, utility availability — from public records and our own tools. You give us the basics. We do the homework.
Designed around your target product type, density, and lot dimensions.
A defensible number you can plug directly into your pro forma.
Show it to your lender, your seller, your equity partner. This is a professional deliverable.
We'll pull the data on your site and get started. Expect your Phase 1 package within 10 business days.
A concept plan is a preliminary site layout showing proposed lot configuration, density, access points, and major site constraints like floodplain, setbacks, and topography. It's the first step in evaluating whether a piece of land will support your target product type and yield. Samford Group's concept plans are engineer-informed — not broker sketches or GIS overlays.
The Playbook is a flat $5,000, covering both phases and the Playbook Review Call. It's the first step in our three-phase development process. If the site works and you move forward, Entitlements and Core Design are scoped and priced at the Review Call. If it doesn't, you've saved yourself from investing serious capital in a bad deal.
Five things: your name, email, project title, site location (address or parcel ID), target product type, and your target lot size or density. That's it. We pull the rest — zoning, topo, floodplain, utility records — from public data and our own tools.
Yes. The concept plan is a professional, presentation-quality deliverable designed specifically for this purpose. Developers use our concept plans to show lenders, equity partners, and land sellers what a site can support. It includes a defensible yield estimate based on real site constraints — not a guess.
That's one of the most valuable outcomes. Finding out a site doesn't pencil before you've spent $30,000 on engineering is exactly the point. You walk away with your capital intact and a clear understanding of why the site didn't work — which makes your next underwriting decision better.
