Buying and developing land

Currently a commercial/ industrial electrician.  Starting an excavation business on the side and is something I want to do when I retire from the electrical industry.  With my excavation business I would like to purchase land, develop and sell it.  My thought is to buy raw land,  clear it,  put in access road/ driveway.  Bring power, water and possibly install septic i would be doing this work myself.  Is this a viable plan
