Services

Six production disciplines, delivered as finished sheets and reports inside your standards. Engage one or all of them.

C–100  /  Site civil & land development

Complete site packages for private development

Our core practice. Quick-serve restaurant rollouts, convenience and fuel sites, retail pads, commercial and light industrial development, and private infrastructure improvements. High-volume, template-driven work where consistency across sites matters as much as any single sheet.

  • Grading and earthwork design with balanced cut/fill and volume reporting
  • Site layout, parking geometry, drive-thru circulation and truck turning checks
  • Wet and dry utility routing, connections and conflict resolution
  • ADA accessible route, parking and ramp compliance review
  • Pavement sections, curb and gutter, striping and signage layout
  • Erosion and sediment control plans and SWPPP exhibits
  • Full permit, bid and construction sets in your sheet order

C–200  /  Stormwater & hydraulics

Modeling and reports the reviewer will accept

Drainage design carried from catchment delineation through to the written report, formatted for the county, city or DOT that will review it.

  • Detention, retention and water quality facility sizing in HydroCAD
  • Storm sewer network design, inlet capacity and hydraulic grade line
  • Culvert analysis and sizing in HY-8 and Hydraulic Toolbox
  • Channel, floodplain and no-rise analysis in HEC-RAS
  • Water distribution and pressure network modeling in WaterCAD
  • Pre- and post-development comparison and drainage narratives

C–300  /  Roadway & corridor design

Corridor models built to be edited, not just delivered

Transportation production for access improvements, turn lanes, private roadways and public-facing frontage work — modeled so your team can revise it after handoff.

  • Horizontal and vertical alignment design and stationing
  • Corridor models, assemblies, subassemblies and targets
  • Superelevation, widening and transition design
  • Cross sections, sections sheets and earthwork volumes
  • Intersection and driveway geometry, sight distance checks
  • Plan and profile sheet production and match line coordination

C–400  /  CAD production & plan sets

Drafting that respects your standard down to the layer

The volume work. Sheet production, cleanup, and markup turnaround at a scale that is uneconomic to staff locally.

  • Sheet setup in your title block, border and sheet index
  • Layer, style, label and annotation standards enforced throughout
  • Xref structure, data shortcuts and drawing organization
  • Detail sheet assembly from your standard detail library
  • Bluebeam Revu markup processing and session participation
  • Drawing audits, cleanup and legacy file conversion

C–500  /  GIS & due diligence

Early-stage answers before design hours are spent

Feasibility and constraints work for developers and site selection teams, assembled into exhibits you can put in front of a client.

  • Site constraint and opportunity mapping
  • Floodplain, wetland, soils and topography exhibits
  • Parcel, easement and right-of-way research and mapping
  • Existing utility base assembly from record drawings
  • Zoning and setback analysis exhibits
  • Aerial and basemap preparation for design startup

C–600  /  Quantities & documentation

Numbers you can hand to an estimator

Takeoffs and supporting documentation built directly from the model, so quantities update when the design does.

  • Quantity takeoffs and bid tabulations
  • Earthwork volume reports and cut/fill exhibits
  • Opinion of probable construction cost spreadsheets
  • Specification assembly and edit against your master
  • Submittal and permit application documentation
