Civil Engineering
Smarter development starts with better engineering. We help small-scale developers bring projects to life efficiently and support municipalities in making the most of existing infrastructure. We simply don’t design infrastructure megaprojects that communities cannot afford to maintain. Our approach prioritizes incremental improvements, cost-effective solutions, and long-term fiscal sustainability—ensuring that growth strengthens local economies. By balancing regulatory requirements with real-world constraints, we streamline approvals and design infrastructure that is both financially and environmentally resilient.
Residential Infill Development
Missing middle housing, made feasible. We provide site planning and civil engineering services to help small-scale infill projects navigate approvals and fit seamlessly into existing neighborhoods. With expertise in parking, utilities, grading, and stormwater management, we streamline the process while maximizing project viability. Our incremental, resource-conscious approach ensures developments are financially sustainable for both builders and cities—making better use of existing infrastructure and increasing long-term value.
Due Diligence & Entitlements
Clear paths, fewer hurdles. We assess development sites to determine feasibility, navigate zoning and infrastructure constraints, and outline the steps needed to move projects forward. From permit applications to variances, we work closely with your team to streamline approvals and minimize delays. With experience on both sides of the table—as city staff and private-sector engineers—we understand the value of small-scale, infill development and advocates for cost-effective solutions that reduce risk and make projects financially viable.
Suburban Shopping Center Retrofits
From empty parking lots to thriving neighborhoods. We help communities and developers transform aging shopping centers into walkable, mixed-use destinations through neighborhood engagement, site planning, and civil engineering. Our approach navigates zoning hurdles, utility constraints, and stormwater challenges while ensuring incremental redevelopment remains financially viable. Rather than rapid overhauls that can spur displacement, we prioritize gradual, market-supported change—allowing sites and neighborhoods to evolve sustainably over time.
Infrastructure Right-Sizing & Retrofits (R&R)
Smarter infrastructure for a changing city. As communities evolve, their infrastructure needs do too. We help cities reimagine roads, utilities, and public spaces to better align with current development patterns, mobility trends, and fiscal realities. Whether it’s narrowing overbuilt streets, repurposing right-of-way, or optimizing utilities, we work with your team to prioritize strategic investments that address maintenance needs, support private investment, and maximize the value of existing infrastructure—without unnecessary expansion.
