Land Development Estimating Consultant

Atlas Residential is a land investment and development firm based in Charlotte. We acquire land, take it through rezoning and entitlement, and position it for homebuilders.

We are currently underwriting 30–150 unit single-family and townhome sites across North Carolina and recently exited a 125-unit townhome entitlement project in Gastonia
.

As we expand, we are looking for an experienced Land Development Estimating Consultant to support early-stage due diligence.

Before purchasing a site, we need realistic early-stage assumptions around:

• Grading and earthwork
• Roadwork and paving

We already work with a civil engineering firm, but what we are looking for is a practical contractor-level perspective to sanity-check numbers early and help us determine:

Does this land deal make sense — and at what price?

This role is best suited for someone with experience in:

• Heavy civil or site development preconstruction
• Land development project management with estimating exposure

• Review conceptual site layouts and basic project information
• Provide early-stage cost ranges before full engineering plans
• Identify cost risks that may impact feasibility
• Help validate land underwriting assumptions

This is a consulting / advisory relationship, not a full-time position. Work will be project-based as we evaluate new land opportunities.

Charlotte, NC preferred, but not strictly required if familiar with development costs in the Carolinas.
