Our Process
A structured, six-step engineering process designed to move your project efficiently from concept through completion with clear communication at every stage.
Discovery & Consultation
We begin every project with a thorough consultation to understand your goals, constraints, and timeline.
What We Do
- →Initial project intake meeting (in-person or virtual)
- →Review of site information, surveys, and existing documents
- →Discussion of project scope, schedule, and budget parameters
- →Identification of regulatory requirements and jurisdictional contacts
- →Preparation of a tailored scope of services and fee proposal
Outcome
A clear understanding of project goals and a defined scope of engineering services.
Site Evaluation
Before design begins, we conduct a thorough evaluation of the site and its constraints.
What We Do
- →Field reconnaissance and site visit
- →Review of topographic survey data
- →Research of existing utilities and infrastructure
- →Evaluation of floodplain, wetland, and environmental constraints
- →Assessment of regulatory requirements and permit needs
Outcome
A comprehensive understanding of site conditions informing the engineering design.
Engineering Design
Our team develops detailed engineering plans and specifications tailored to your project.
What We Do
- →Conceptual design development and owner review
- →Preparation of grading, drainage, and utility plans
- →Stormwater calculations and hydraulic analysis
- →Coordination with architects, surveyors, and other disciplines
- →Preparation of final construction documents
Outcome
Complete, permit-ready engineering plans and specifications.
Permitting & Coordination
We manage the permitting process from application preparation through agency approval.
What We Do
- →Preparation and submission of permit applications
- →Agency coordination and comment response
- →Tracking of permit review schedules
- →Coordination with utility providers for connection approvals
- →NPDES permit preparation and submission
Outcome
All required permits secured and approvals in hand prior to construction.
Construction Support
Engineering support continues through active construction to resolve field issues promptly.
What We Do
- →Pre-construction meeting participation
- →Periodic field observation visits
- →RFI review and response
- →Plan revision and supplemental design as needed
- →Contractor coordination and technical support
Outcome
Construction completed in general conformance with approved plans.
Project Completion
Final close-out ensures all documentation is complete and the project is properly delivered.
What We Do
- →Final site observation and punch list coordination
- →As-built drawing preparation or review
- →Final permit close-out and inspection coordination
- →Record document submission to applicable agencies
- →Project file archiving and client delivery
Outcome
A fully documented, closed-out project with all deliverables provided to the owner.
