Overview

What a Civil Site Engineering actually involves

Site engineering turns a parcel into something buildable and permittable. Grading and earthwork, storm drainage and detention, sanitary and water main design, pavement and access, and the site plan set a municipality will actually approve.

Because the topographic survey and the engineering are produced under one roof, the design is built on measured conditions rather than someone else's base map. That removes the most common source of redesign, review comments and cost on small and mid-size Michigan projects.
