Consultations & Project Coordination

Property Development Consultations
CEL Manion Consulting helps clients navigate the process of developing, building or adding improvements to their property.
Whether you’re purchasing land to build your dream home or cottage, upgrading an existing property or setting up an RV site, we provide informative consultations, project coordination, site planning, layout and inspection services tailored to your needs.
Smaller property improvements and projects can be just as complex as larger projects, often involving similar processes, requirements, and permits.
If you are planning a garage, shed, deck, dock, home addition or renovation, retaining walls, landscaping, driveway installation, or a new entrance, we can provide support with permit requirements, conceptual ideas, drawings, and the full range of services we offer.
CEL Manion Consulting has established relationships with qualified local contractors, licenced trades, and utility providers, including service such as tree clearing, excavation, landscaping, sewage system installation, well installation and heavy construction contractors.
Pre-Purchase Consultations 
If you are unsure whether a property will meet your expectations or future plans, we also offer pre-purchase property consultation. 
Once you have narrowed down your search our Initial Site Visit & Inspection service can provide valuable insight, a second opinion, and answers to key questions before committing to a major investment. 
This on-site consultation helps reduce uncertainty and ensures that your plans are realistic and achievable.
Initial Site Visit
Our Initial Site Visit is a great starting point for any property development or prior to purchasing a property. 
During this on-site consultation, we meet our clients at the property to discuss their goals, ideas, expectations, and plans for the site.
The purpose of the Initial Site Visit is to provide a better understanding of the property’s opportunities, limitations, and development potential early in the planning process.
This service includes:
  • Assessing the existing conditions and features of the property
  • Reviewing conceptual plans, design ideas, and project objectives
  • Identifying property boundaries, visible survey monuments, and setback requirements
  • Discussing potential site access, building locations, utility servicing locations and development constraints
  • Establishing realistic expectations and outlining preliminary site planning concepts
  • Identifying concerns, conflicts or restrictions that may require further investigation
  • Reviewing applicable permits, approvals, and regulatory requirements
  • Providing technical insight and practical recommendations and a summary report
