Residential Engineering Services

What is residential engineering?

Residential engineering is a pursuit that requires a broad and varied skill set, So what does a residential engineering firm actually do? In some ways, they do anything and everything to help clients see their projects through to completion.

Some of the more specific tasks we take on include the following:

  • Initial planning: In the beginning stages of a new community, your residential engineer lays the groundwork by conducting research on various areas, selecting the best one for your purposes, creating a plan for that area, and working out cost estimates for the project.
  • Rezoning and permitting: It can be challenging to obtain the appropriate permits and/or rezone if necessary, but an experienced residential engineer can guide you through this process and make it as painless as possible.
  • Surveying: This can be part of the initial planning process or done separately. Surveying involves accurately and specifically locating boundaries and borders as well as measuring elevation throughout the site. This information is used in the design phase and can play a role in the rezoning/permitting process.

Management of storm water and water resources design. It is important to have a well-designed system in place when it rains; if not, all the residents will be left with standing water that can damage their homes and create problems throughout the development. Additionally, it is necessary to find a sufficient source of fresh water for the community and ascertain the quality of that water.

Engineers also emphasize providing clients with thorough, well thought-out designs, to make designs practical and believe the best designs are often straightforward and uncomplicated. Yet, understanding simple solutions may be difficult to envision, engineers take the time to search for the right choices.
