A Prosper, Texas developer came to us with 14 acres of raw land and a vision for a mixed-use commercial development. The site had no utilities, no access road, significant grade change across the property, and a drainage easement that cut through the middle of the most buildable area. Six months later the site was fully entitled, engineered, and pad-ready for vertical construction. The developer broke ground on schedule. Not a single surprise along the way.
That is what disciplined land development looks like. Fast General Contracting has been managing land development programs throughout the DFW metroplex and surrounding North Texas areas for over 30 years, guiding commercial developers, residential builders, and investment groups from raw land through pad-ready sites with the same project management discipline we apply to vertical construction. We do not just grade dirt.
We manage entitlements, coordinate civil engineering, install infrastructure, and deliver construction-ready sites that perform exactly as projected.
If you are evaluating raw land for development in the DFW metroplex and surrounding North Texas areas, or if you have a site ready to develop and need a contractor who understands every phase of the process, Fast General Contracting is the call to make first.

After 30+ years of commercial development work throughout North Texas, Fast General Contracting brings the local knowledge and established relationships that make this complexity manageable.
Our commercial land development services cover office park development, retail center development, industrial park development, mixed-use development, restaurant pad site development, and complete commercial campus development throughout the DFW metroplex and surrounding North Texas areas.

Residential land development in the DFW metroplex and surrounding North Texas areas requires a contractor who understands both the engineering requirements of site development and the production timelines that residential builders operate on. Lot delivery schedules drive everything downstream: model home construction, sales center opening, and community launch all depend on land development hitting its milestones.
Fast General Contracting delivers residential land development with the schedule discipline that production builders and custom home developers require. Our residential land development services cover subdivision infrastructure, lot development, custom home site preparation, rural land development, and acreage subdivision programs throughout the DFW metroplex and surrounding North Texas areas.
The most active residential land development markets in the DFW metroplex and surrounding North Texas areas right now include Prosper, Celina, Anna, Midlothian, Aledo, Weatherford, and the broader Denton and Collin County growth corridors. Fast General Contracting has active experience throughout these markets, understanding the specific municipal development standards, utility providers, and engineering requirements that apply in each community.
Entitlements are where most land development programs either gain or lose months. The difference between a smooth entitlement process and a protracted one is almost always preparation: complete applications, accurate engineering, proactive communication with municipal staff, and early identification of issues that might trigger additional review.
Fast General Contracting manages entitlement coordination throughout the DFW metroplex and surrounding North Texas areas, working with municipal planning departments, utility districts, TxDOT, and other regulatory bodies to move development applications through the review and approval process as efficiently as the regulatory environment allows. Our entitlement services cover zoning analysis and rezoning applications, preliminary plat submission and approval, final plat processing, variance and special use permit applications, development agreement negotiation, and building permit coordination.
After 30+ years of development work throughout North Texas, we have direct experience with the development review processes in Fort Worth, Dallas, Arlington, North Richland Hills, Keller, Southlake, Colleyville, Hurst, Watauga, Frisco, McKinney, Plano, Denton, Flower Mound, and dozens of surrounding municipalities. This experience is not theoretical; it is built from navigating the specific requirements, review timelines, and submission standards of each individual city.
Once entitlements are in place, Fast General Contracting manages complete site preparation and infrastructure installation, the horizontal work that transforms an entitled site into a construction-ready pad.
Our site preparation services cover complete clearing and grubbing, mass grading and earthwork, fine grading to engineered tolerances, erosion control installation and maintenance, stormwater management system construction, and complete site readiness for vertical construction. We manage all earthwork under single-source accountability: one contract, one project manager, one schedule.
