Project Overview
In August 2020, Section31, LLC worked with a fisheries management company specializing in recreational lake construction to facilitate the development of a 36-42 acre private lake for a discerning client. The project aimed to deliver precise earthwork volumes, advanced visual aids, and a comprehensive GPS model to realize the client’s vision of a pristine and functional private lake.
Project Timeline and Deliverables
8/10/20: A fisheries management company specializing in recreational lake construction and trophy bass management contacts section 31, LLC and needs help providing earthwork volumes as well as professional visual aids for a client considering building a 36-42ac private lake on their property.
Fisheries management contractor provided Section 31, LLC with existing topography, dam construction specs and their current visual aid mock up of the proposed lakes finished appearance.
The provided visual aid was lacking in detail and confusing…..
