If you Design Build… What permits are needed at the beginning? What is the zoning? What are the parking requirements? How do I get water to the site? Do I need stormwater? What do I need for erosion control? What is “stormwater” anyway? If you are at this point, what you will need is Land Planning. Let’s get an idea of what you can do with your property by Land Planning

Land Planning

We have long time experience within and navigating the the regulatory environment, and can bring your project through from beginning to end.

We are a full-service firm who not only can perform all the technical work, we can provide valuable experience in promotion and exposure to local governments to steer your project through local governing authorities. With our experience, we can move from approvals to construction instantly. Since we are also civil engineers, we work hard to produce “buildable plans” from project inception all of the way through project approval.

Conceptual Planning and Drawings

Conceptual drawings can be created during the due diligence period at a fraction of the cost of complete design drawings. These visually present the rough construction assumptions in 3D space. These 3D schematic drawings help to allow an overview of the site’s potential based on preliminary budgets which can reveal investment opportunities.

Site Feasibility Studies

We can provide a number of extremely useful reports that reveal the full scope of opportunities associated with a subject site. A typical set of feasibility studies would include:

  • Slope Analysis
  • Construction material estimates
  • Preliminary Budget Analysis
  • Suitability Analysis Reports

These are basically pro-forma evaluations. Feasibility studies greatly facilitate investment support early on in the process.

We provide the complete range of civil engineering services.

  • All site related design drawings
  • Full permitting services
  • Construction management
  • Integration of Traffic and Environmental Engineering
  • Surveying
  • Water source development
  • Coordination of geotechnical engineering
  • Coordination of structural engineering

We offer complete civil / site engineering services:

Grading Plans and Erosion Control

  • Cost effective and efficient grading plans reduce project costs.
  • Challenging mountainous terrain are properly engineered with the right methods.
  • Steep sites with correct slope retention systems.
  • Erosion control systems are properly designed, protecting site from regulatory trouble.

Stormwater Management and Erosion Control

  • Staff are in close contact with local regulators to ensure design approval.
  • Permitting process is greatly improved with the right design the first time.
  • BMPs (Best Management Practices) included in our Stormwater Management design.
  • Stormwater treatment – bioretention and infiltration systems
  • Pre & Post flow storm attenuation.
  • Sediment ponds and traps.

Wastewater Collection Systems

  • Design of Large and Small systems for commercial or municipal use.
  • Expertise in lift station and residential low pressure systems.
  • STEP collection system
  • Denitrification of effluent
  • Drip irrigation

Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems

  • Process design and complete engineering services from single residence to large community.
  • Specific services available for industrial applications.
  • On-Site Wastewater Systems permitted through the On-Site Water Protection Section or Irrigation Systems permitted through Division of Water Quality.
  • Engineered option permits – Engineer issues septic permit
  • Soil analysis for septic receiving

 Potable Water Systems

  • Process design and complete engineering services for residential, commercial and industrial needs.
  • Onsite systems have served large apartment complexes requiring fire protection as well as domestic demand.
  • We are well versed with the latest regulatory permit requirements including well and wellhead construction and Water Management Plans.
