Site Development Plan Generator
Generate comprehensive site development plans with grading, utilities, and compliance analysis
What You Can Do
This skill synthesizes site constraints, survey information, and regulatory requirements into comprehensive development plans that civil engineers can use for feasibility studies and permitting. You'll generate grading designs with slope analysis, utility coordination maps identifying conflicts, stormwater management strategies, zoning compliance assessments, and site phasing schedules—reducing iteration cycles between preliminary design and permit-ready documentation.
Features
Generate slope calculations, cut/fill balances, erosion control strategies, and drainage patterns based on site topography
Map existing utility locations, identify conflicts, and recommend coordination approaches for water, sewer, electrical, and gas lines
Cross-check zoning requirements, setbacks, density limits, and identify required variances or special approvals
Calculate preliminary detention sizing, design bioretention layouts, and compliance with local stormwater ordinances
Create phased development strategies that sequence grading, utility installation, and construction activities
Document site constraints, environmental considerations, and infrastructure limitations from provided survey data
Generate required exhibits, calculations, and narrative documentation for municipal review packages
Example Output
Example 1: Commercial Office Park Site Plan
- Grading Summary: 85,000 CY cut, 72,000 CY fill, 13,000 CY off-site disposal; maximum slope 3:1 (34%)
- Utility Conflicts: Water main conflicts with proposed northern access road (recommend 25-ft relocation north)
- Stormwater: 8.2-acre site requires 1.4-acre detention basin sized for 25-year storm event
- Zoning Compliance: ✓ Setbacks met; 40% impervious surface within limits; parking count adequate
- Phase 1: Site clearing, utility relocation (6 weeks); Phase 2: Grading & stormwater (8 weeks)
Example 2: Mixed-Use Residential Development
- Grading: 156,000 CY balanced site (internal cut/fill); building pads require 2-4 ft fill
- Utilities: Gas line conflicts with proposed stormwater outfall (coordinate 15-ft horizontal separation)
- Regulatory: Wetland setback violation identified on east parcel (recommend plan modification to maintain 50-ft buffer)
- Drainage: Southwestern quadrant drains to existing detention pond (verify capacity with municipality)
- Permit Requirements: Wetland delineation update, stormwater impact analysis, traffic study

This skill cross-references your residential design specifications against jurisdiction-specific building codes (IBC, IRC, local amendments) to identify code violations, ambiguous details inspectors will challenge, and compliance documentation gaps. You can validate designs across multiple jurisdictions, evaluate design trade-offs (fire-rating vs. acoustic performance), and generate compliance narratives that support permit applications—all before formal submission.

You can input room dimensions, functional requirements, and design constraints to receive optimized furniture layouts with documented traffic flow patterns and compliance verification. Claude analyzes competing spatial demands—usable area, sightlines, egress, zoning—and produces data-driven plans that satisfy functional, regulatory, and aesthetic objectives simultaneously. This accelerates initial space planning and helps identify conflicts before costly revisions.

This skill deconstructs your writing samples to identify the specific patterns, personality markers, emotional range, language quirks, and formatting habits that make your voice uniquely yours. You'll receive a detailed voice DNA profile that includes your core communication style, signature phrases, emotional tone, formality level, and what you actively avoid—creating a blueprint that AI systems can use to replicate your authentic voice consistently across projects, platforms, and content types.

Design earth retention systems by inputting soil properties, site geometry, and regulatory requirements. Claude calculates lateral earth pressures using Coulomb, Rankine, and Mononobe-Okabe methods, verifies factors of safety for internal and external stability, compares competing retention concepts (gravity walls, cantilever, anchored, sheet-pile, soil-nail), and generates cost-benefit analysis and regulatory documentation packages ready for permit submission.

You can submit architectural design documents, floor plans, and project parameters to receive a comprehensive compliance analysis that cross-references IBC, local amendments, zoning ordinances, and ADA accessibility requirements. Claude identifies specific gaps, cites applicable code sections, explains why each gap matters, and provides concrete remediation strategies—all before formal design review submission when corrections are costly and schedule-impacting.
