Land Development 101 - Introduction Video #2 (Rough Grading)

[@raychesterlapura411]

I'm assigned at a Land development project and I found these series. So good timing.

[@harshakukade6151]

I would suggest my civil friends to take a good look over the series. It is very good and knowledgeable for those who work under such work.

[@think41c]

Love how technical you get into as opposed to the super high-level stuff others show that is too generic to be useful. Good job!

[@landdevelopment1019]

Thanks for the feedback. At the end of the day, I just made something that I wished I had to really sink my teeth into when I first started.

[@FahadShah822]

I absolutely love this series. It's exactly what I was looking for and I can't believe I found it. This is gold. Thank you.

[@landdevelopment1019]

So glad you found us! Stay tuned…

So glad we can help!!

[@alisonruss2647]

Thank you so much for this series! I downloaded KZbin premium after rejecting it for 10,000+ times, just so I could download your videos.

[@landdevelopment1019]

Thank you, Allison! So glad you are finding these so helpful! Will have more in the future along with more products that I think you'll find very beneficial as well.

[@coreystephens1418]

Hey man, i know this video is years old at this point but thank you for uploading it, i recently got hired on as a laborer on a rough grading crew and while the job itself is fairly easy, i constantly feel confused when it comes to the bigger picture so im always asking people where dirt needs to be dumped and what needs to be rolled and i feel like this definitely gave me a better understanding of the big picture.

[@danielacpetrescu]

Thank you soooo much for the great videos! I'm taking an online landscape course/site engineer class and I couldn't grasp the concept of grading till I found your channel! Better than my course online :) Please, don't stop posting videos! I shared your video in my class. Can't believe there are 9 haters...!?

[@landdevelopment1019]

Happy to help!

[@LandElevated]

There's a lot to consider when buying a parcel of vacant land and people should understand how to do their research. Your video does a great job of walking through things to consider. Thank you for creating this.

[@LandElevated]

​@@natureloversadventures7335 That's great! Good luck on your journey!

[@RRlifer85]

Great content on LD! I’m transitioning from heavy civil to a land Dev PM job and this is really helpful.

[@susanh326]

Great video to help Susan H at her work. I work for investors and developers and geotechnical, civil and drainage engineers, horizontal construction guys. It's a blast. These videos help me.

[@ljmpublishingllc3312]

Thanks so much for these videos! You have a great delivery and make it easy to understand. We will be hiring someone to do all this work but I want to know the basics of what it will take to create our development.

[@landdevelopment1019]

Glad you like the videos. But I don't fully understand your question. Are you asking about the planning/design stages of development? And/or financing?

[@kylexlittle]

Keep this channel up FOREVER!

[@zakhelenkosi688]

Exactly what I have been looking for, very informative and detailed

[@thevanessacoleexperience7925]

Excellent Videos! Thank you so much for taking the time out to create this content. I am so grateful to have found your channel.

[@landdevelopment1019]

You're very welcome!

[@drewd7824]

Can you do a video on scenarios where you buy a property with existing structures on it, and now want to build new additional structures, and how to check grade, for drainage and how to know if there is a enough slope for plumbing and drainage? And if there is not how do you deal with making sure sewer n rain safely get to light/street/ sewer? Thank you for these videos! Discovered this tonight (2am) and so excited. I work as a civilian on military missile defense systems and building a real estate portfolio; with the goal to replace my income so I can start developing land. So I’m dying to watch this series!! Thank you again!

[@mike1sonboom861]

I just started getting into civil construction this is awesome information man big thumbs up man keep it coming man

This was excellent! Thank you!

[@larryb8495]

Out of curiosity do you have any advanced development courses or material that covers more detail?

[@TophoriMusic]

Too much gold for no cost. You cannot just be giving out this valuable info like this.

[@joeyalfaro2323]

I live finding canals, streams and playing on Google. Up here in Idaho we have gems in ground. I was looking at mine from air they throw dirt up front let you pick throw dirt for fee im sure. If you can read hills you got chance finding gems.

[@olakunleofficial]

When is the perc test and soils tet done? Before rough grading or during?

[@landdevelopment1019]

Before. Typically done during the due diligence stage.

[@justincrasi4638]

thank you!

[@egyptianplanner]

Many Thanks for the invaluable videos , Could you please advice about the major to pursue to be land development expert ???

[@landdevelopment1019]

Hard question to answer as there are many sides/facets to land development, including civil engineering, finance, construction, etc. And there are even Land Development degrees you can get nowadays! But at the end of the day, I would say that your degree is not as important as the path that you choose afterwards. Getting together with a development company just to get your foot in the door would be invaluable. And then move around departments internally; from purchasing, project management, financing, marketing, etc. I got a degree in civil engineering and started as a land development purchasing agent with a large nation-wide home-building company. In conclusion, there is much information to glean from everywhere. Just be hungry to learn and ask questions! (And you MUST learn the numbers!)

[@manuelmiranda4152]

I recently got offered a job by a friend of mine in California to work for a rough grade and finish grade contractor as a labor. I was wondering what are the duty’s of a labor in this specific trait?

[@landdevelopment1019]

Could consist of a few different things. You could be a load-counter (counting the amount of trucks that haul the dirt off a site), you could be picking up a shovel and move/dig certain spots that the big machines can't get into, possibly even reading a GPS system and watching the cut/load operations, etc. I do realize this comment was 3 months ago, did you end up taking the job? If so, how is it going?

[@claytown24]

Question for who can answer: What are the different classes of soil and what do they mean? I tried looking up a chart online, but I found different charts that said different things. Does it also depend on the area? Any insight on this topic of soil classes and ratings would be greatly appreciated- if there is a video you've done on this topic, then could you please direct me to it? Thank you!

[@AnTrinh-q4l]

Thank you sir

[@nanaqieu7333]

gret video...

[@samaiech7587]

Hi, there! I learned a lot, thanks! What software do you use or recommend for designing rough grading plans?

[@landdevelopment1019]

AutoCad / Civil Cad is probably still one of the most common programs used. But I've also been hearing about this other really cool program that helps quickly design/layout property for land development. Check out the link below. And reach out to me directly, I may have a coupon code if you're interested. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaXOooqojpiXldE

[@zakhelenkosi688]

Thanks alot

[@Rogue_Oregon]

Is there Software that can help make a cut fill map?

[@patrickquerry5768]

I need more rough grading help in a dozer! Just not confident in making big cuts!!!

[@landdevelopment1019]

Just keep practicing!! You got this!

[@bhavikingle4783]

What are the duties of land development manager

[@landdevelopment1019]

Wow...the duties can range quite a bit. To name a few: meetings with the city and utility companies, pulling permits with the city or county, reviewing CC&R's and other project documents, meeting with engineers and other consultants, obtaining budget estimates, purchasing/contracting subs, managing the budget, managing change orders, etc.

[@emilyplein1081]

Are these steps common nation wide?

[@landdevelopment1019]

It could vary in each area. Maybe different equipment types are more favorable in another area, etc. But at the end of the day, the basic process of it would be the same: move dirt, trench for pipe, pave streets, etc. But no matter where you're at, developers/builders will want to construct as quickly and as efficiently as possible. One of the differences I can see is with the dry utilities. Some jurisdictions may install that in the street and others may require it BEHIND the street curb within the Right of Way. Slight differences like that.

[@onewingfan]

Awesome

[@kalpavriksha666]

Kalpavriksha realty very much intersted

[@marcfebra6042]

what is TW TF TC and RW?

[@landdevelopment1019]

TW = Top of Wall TF = Top of Footing TC = Top of Curb RW = Retaining Wall or Right of Way **Please note, though, that engineers may use different abbreviations.
