How a project works with us
Consultation
Tell us about the property and what you need approved. We'll tell you what it takes.
Proposal
You get a written scope and fee before any design work starts.
Design
Plans and calculations are prepared and sealed by a licensed professional engineer.
Approval
We submit to the county, city, MUD or fire marshal and answer comments until the plans are approved.
Design, permitting and code work in one office
Most projects need more than one kind of approval. A small commercial site might need a plat, a drainage plan with detention, an on-site wastewater design and a fire marshal review before it can open. We handle all of those under one roof, so the pieces fit together and you have one point of contact.
We also build what we design. Our septic installation crews put engineered wastewater systems in the ground, which keeps our designs practical and buildable.
