“Thoughtful Planning. Smart Engineering. Better Land Use.”

At Main-Land Development Consultants, we believe that every great project starts with a strong plan—and that’s exactly what our site design services deliver. Whether you’re developing a residential subdivision, commercial property, campground, or waterfront lot, our experienced team helps you make the most of your land—while staying in compliance and on budget.

What Is Site Design?

Site design is more than just laying out driveways and buildings. It’s the art and science of transforming raw land into a fully functional space. That means managing everything from drainage, grading, and stormwater control to road layouts, utility placement, and septic design—all tailored to fit your project goals and Maine’s regulatory environment.

Why Main-Land?

We live and work in Maine, and we’ve been helping people across the state bring their land to life for decades. From Bethel to Bar Harbor, we know what it takes to get site plans approved and projects built. Our team of engineers, soil scientists, and land use planners work together to provide practical, durable, and creative solutions for all types of properties.

Whether you’re working with a blank slate or reconfiguring an existing lot, we’ll meet you on-site, walk the land with you, and listen closely to what you want to build. Then we’ll handle the heavy lifting—creating plans that check every box for your vision, your timeline, and your local code requirements.
