Services
Civil Engineering
Our civil engineers specialize in sewer, water, and storm drain system master planning. We provide grading design, utility coordination, and hydraulic modeling for residential, commercial, and public works projects. With expertise in AutoCAD Civil 3D and HEC-RAS modeling, we deliver cost-efficient solutions that meet local and state regulations while ensuring long-term infrastructure sustainability.
Land Surveying
We conduct topographic, boundary, and ALTA/ACSM surveys using 3D laser scanning and GPS technology. Our team performs construction staking, earthwork calculations, and drone area mapping to support accurate project design. This critical data foundation enables precise development planning while maintaining compliance with California's Subdivision Map Act requirements.
Environmental Consulting
Our environmental specialists prepare CEQA/NEPA documents and conduct biological assessments for endangered species protection. We offer wetland delineation, air quality analysis, and mitigation monitoring services that ensure projects meet federal and state environmental standards. This expertise extends to tribal consultation and Clean Water Act permitting for complex development projects.
Construction Management
We provide full-cycle construction management from contractor selection to quality control. Our team manages project scheduling, budgeting, and safety compliance while coordinating between designers and builders. This oversight ensures adherence to design specifications and regulatory requirements throughout the construction process for infrastructure and development projects.
Planning & Entitlement
We navigate zoning regulations and entitlement processes for rezones, tract maps, and specific plans. Our planners prepare staff reports, ordinances, and municipal service reviews while presenting to planning commissions. This includes developing ADU programs and streamlining approvals for residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments across California jurisdictions.
