Housing & Mixed-Use Land Development
Housing and mixed-use land development projects include everything from single-family subdivisions to multi-use urban complexes that blend residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. Braun Intertec partners with developers to navigate the full project lifecycle performing environmental due diligence during site acquisition, geotechnical site evaluations and materials testing during construction.
From site acquisition through occupancy, our integrated services and cross-disciplinary expertise help streamline approvals, reduce risk, and support long-term performance.
