Land Development

Land development requires a strategic approach tailored to the specific constraints of the terrain and the goals of the client. We provide comprehensive engineering solutions to transform raw land into buildable, high-value sites.

Site Assessment

  • Feasibility Studies: Evaluating topographic, utility, and zoning constraints to determine the maximum buildable potential of a site.

  • Due Diligence: Reviewing existing environmental records, easements, and historical data to identify potential "deal-breakers" early.

  • Zoning & Code Analysis: Ensuring the proposed project aligns with local municipal ordinances and land-use requirements.

 

Site Design

  • Master Planning: Creating cohesive layouts that optimize building footprints, parking requirements, and green spaces.

  • Utility Infrastructure: Designing reliable systems for water distribution, sanitary sewer collection, and dry utility routing.

  • Access & Circulation: Planning for safe and efficient vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow, including ADA-compliant pathways.

Site Grading

  • Earthwork Optimization: Balancing "cut and fill" volumes to minimize the cost of hauling soil on or off-site.

  • Slope Stabilization: Designing grading schemes that prevent erosion and ensure long-term structural integrity of the land.

  • Pad Preparation: Establishing precise finish-floor elevations for buildings to ensure proper transition to the surrounding environment.

 

Site Drainage

  • Stormwater Management (SWMP): Designing detention and retention ponds to manage runoff rates and protect downstream properties.

  • Hydrologic & Hydraulic Modeling: Using H & H calculations to simulate rain events and size pipes, culverts, and swales correctly.

  • Water Quality Treatment: Implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to filter pollutants and comply with environmental regulations.

Water Resource Engineering

Managing the water cycle is critical to the longevity of any built environment. Our team provides the technical analysis and design necessary to manage stormwater, protect ecosystems, and ensure reliable utility infrastructure.

Stormwater Management

  • Hydrologic & Hydraulic (H & H) Modeling: Utilizing industry-standard software to simulate rainfall events and determine peak runoff rates for site safety.​

  • Detention & Retention Design: Engineering basins and underground storage systems to control the release of stormwater and prevent downstream flooding.

Floodplain Management

  • Flood Risk Assessment: Identifying flood-prone areas and determining Base Flood Elevations (BFEs) to guide safe building placement.

  • Flood Proofing & Mitigation: Designing structural barriers and elevated foundations to protect assets in high-risk zones.

Water & Wastewater Systems

  • Potable Water Distribution: Sizing and routing water mains to ensure consistent pressure and fire flow requirements.

  • Sanitary Sewer Collection: Designing gravity-fed and force-main sewer systems that efficiently transport waste to treatment facilities.

Environmental Compliance

  • Erosion & Sediment Control (ESC): Creating robust plans to prevent soil runoff during construction and protect local waterways.

  • Water Quality Permitting: Navigating the complex regulatory requirements of the Clean Water Act and local environmental protection agencies.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

Our architectural approach bridges the gap between creative vision and technical feasibility. We focus on designing spaces that are not only visually compelling but are also optimized for structural efficiency, building code compliance, and the human experience.

Schematic Design & Concept Development

  • Spatial Programming: Analyzing user requirements to define the necessary square footage, room relationships, and overall building flow.

  • Concept Visualizations: Developing initial 3D models and sketches to communicate the "look and feel" of the project before detailed engineering begins.

Detailed Design Development

  • Floor Plan Optimization: Refining interior layouts for maximum usability, ensuring efficient circulation and logical zoning of spaces.

  • Building Envelope & Material Selection: Specifying exterior finishes, glazing systems, and insulation to balance aesthetics with long-term durability.

  • Interior Architecture: Designing permanent interior elements, including ceiling heights, staircases, and built-in features that define the character of the space.

Permitting & Regulatory Compliance

  • Building Code Analysis: Conducting thorough reviews of IBC/IRC standards to ensure life safety, fire protection, and egress requirements are met.

  • ADA & Accessibility Design: Integrating Universal Design principles to ensure all spaces are fully accessible and compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

  • Zoning Coordination: Aligning the architectural design with local setbacks, height restrictions, and lot coverage limitations.

Construction Documentation

  • Detailed Architectural Sets: Producing comprehensive blueprints, including floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, and building sections.

  • Finish & Fixture Schedules: Creating organized tables for doors, windows, and finishes to ensure precise bidding and construction.

STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING

Our structural engineering team ensures the safety, durability, and stability of every project. We translate architectural concepts into buildable systems, utilizing advanced mathematics and material science to resist the forces of nature—including gravity, wind, and seismic activity.

Residential & Commercial Design

  • Primary Framing Systems: Design and analysis of timber, structural steel, reinforced concrete, and masonry load-bearing systems.

  • Vertical & Lateral Load Analysis: Calculating dead, live, snow, and wind loads to ensure the structure remains stable under all predictable conditions.

  • Seismic & Wind Bracing: Designing shear walls and moment frames to provide lateral stability, specifically for projects in high-wind or earthquake-prone regions.

Foundation & Substructure Engineering

  • Shallow & Deep Foundations: Designing spread footings, mat foundations, or pier and pile systems based on site-specific geotechnical reports.

  • Retaining Wall Design: Engineering structural solutions for soil retention, including cantilevered concrete, gravity walls, and segmental block systems.

  • Slab-on-Grade & Elevated Slabs: Specialized design for industrial heavy-duty floors and multi-story concrete deck systems.

Forensic & Diagnostic Services

  • Structural Assessments: Conducting on-site inspections to evaluate cracks, settlement, or structural distress in existing buildings.

  • Renovation & Adaptive Reuse: Engineering the removal of load-bearing walls and designing reinforcement for "pop-top" additions or floor-plan expansions.

Specialized Infrastructure

  • Ancillary Structures: Structural design for signs, light poles, and screen walls that must withstand high wind pressures.

Technical Standards & Deliverables

All structural designs are performed using advanced FEA (Finite Element Analysis) software. We provide Signed and Sealed (P.E.)

Construction Documents that include:

  • Framing Plans: Precise layouts of beams, joists, and rafters.

  • Connection Details: Specific instructions for bolting, welding, or nailing critical joints.

  • General Notes: Material specifications for concrete strength, steel grade, and timber species.
