Description

Class Topic: Geotech Considerations for Steep Slope Construction
- Building on steep lots can be challenging. Some municipalities have enacted ordinances that require specific criteria during permitting and construction. Of these criteria, the geotechnical engineering aspects are often misunderstood and can create unnecessary complications for builders and their customers. ECS will provide an overview of some of the common geotechnical requirements, discuss how they relate to permitting and construction, and provide tips for how to successfully implement these in order to minimize delays and unanticipated costs.

Presented by: Matt Fogleman, ECS Carolinas, LLP

Matt Fogleman, PE of ECS will be teaching how to enhance your knowledge of constructing on steep slope lots, with particular emphasis on the geotechnical requirements of the Buncombe County Zoning Overlay Districts. They have experience in helping builders get through tough situations with these lots that fall under the County’s zoning requirements.
