Offering vast expertise and a network of highly skilled professionals, we believe we have the finest collection of resources in the building industry. From land acquisition, planning, map processing, engineering and grading, to product design, construction coordination, sales and end-user warranties, Corman Leigh Communities provides the full complement of services that ultimately determine a project's success.

Planning

The Planning Department conducts extensive feasibility analysis to determine if the marketability, political climate, environmental conditions and profitability make each project a realistic venture to pursue. Further research and analysis looks closer at the community impact and growth, and whether the land parcel suits the immediate and long-term needs of its future occupants. Such crucial concerns such as roads, traffic, utilities, population, demographics, schools and parks are all painstakingly addressed.

Once all of these factors have been evaluated a Project Opportunity Analysis and Cash Flow report is produced, giving decision makers a concise overview of all the figures.

When a project is finally given a "go", our experienced Team works in close coordination with our engineers, construction experts, marketing specialists and sales personnel to map out and build each new project to Corman Leigh Communities' most demanding standards.

Engineering and Development

This department of dedicated managers and engineers plays a key supporting role for the company's planning, site development and sales departments. Engineering and Development takes raw land and transforms it into quality sites. While considering multiple geographic and human variables, Engineering and Development works to submit an approved plan for the company's undeveloped land. In these environmental-conscious times, this is an increasingly complicated task. Not only must the plan specifically address the needs and desires of local community groups and site planners, it must also meet the ambitious objectives of Corman Leigh Communities.

New Construction

The New Construction division performs such wide-ranging duties as establishing marketing objectives, making recommendations for retail pricing, forming sales strategies, as well as developing advertising and public relations programs. Long before construction begins, our professionals analyze market trends and potentials, conduct independent competitive analyses, and provide Corman Leigh Communities with vital consumer feedback on product concept, buyer needs and desires, as well as lifestyle information.

The CLC team of experts provides insightful market research, analysis and tracking years in advance of the product's public introduction. These professionals assemble and analyze current and historical data relating to a project's marketplace. They are also deeply involved in developing the overall image and identity for every Corman Leigh project. Valuable marketing expertise is provided in the areas of product concept, floor plan design and site plan development. Other marketing responsibilities include advertising, promotions, model home merchandising, sales office design, signage, budget approvals and ongoing market/pricing studies.

Community Relations

Reflecting our deep, long-term commitment to be a "good neighbor" in all of our communities, CLC's community relations team provides a vital link between the developer and the various community interests groups. In constant touch with the pulse of a community, the department evaluates local public attitudes, analyzes the policies and procedures of local political bodies, and implements responsive programs that earn public understanding and acceptance.

When situations arise that require consumer and political rapport, CLC's community relations team provides the necessary forum for the discussion, clarification and resolution of issues that concern all interested parties. Because matters of community importance are particularly sensitive to timing, the CLC staff stays well informed on the policies and underlying issues that affect the families and environments of Corman Leigh neighborhoods.

On a continuing basis, Corman Leigh Communities strives to encourage and develop support from the key public sectors, including elected and appointed officials, city and county staff personnel, and community planning groups. Moreover, the CLC staff actively participates in a spectrum of community and service organizations, as well as many area events.

With greater emphasis being placed on such issues as growth and the environment, Corman Leigh Communities stands committed to understanding and responding to the very real concerns expressed by community groups, political leaders, and public officials.
