Our Planning Department brings a range of tried and true expertise, technical knowledge, and project management skills to assist the public, private, and non-profit sectors in realizing project goals.

We bring proactive project solutions with in-house technical & design skills, land use knowledge, and team members with decades of experience in both private- and public- planning sectors. We work collaboratively with our clients, engineers, surveyors, and other design disciplines from project inception in order to deliver multi-disciplinary solutions that save time, money, and identify potential design/regulatory challenges before they arise. Our Planning Department has over 60 years combined experience, with two AICP Certified Planners and one AICP Candidate on staff.

Our Construction Management Department assists private and public sector clients with construction projects from bid assistance to ribbon cutting.

In many cases, we are the planners, surveyors and engineers for a project since day one, and with our Construction Management Department, we take it a step further: we ensure the project designed and permitted is contracted and constructed correctly. We take the lead in getting a project to bid, project scheduling, cost management, quality management, contract administration, safety management, implementing project controls and developing communication protocols. In our engineered construction documents, we have built-in solutions for issues that can arise in construction phases, however, in plans created by others and our own, contractors will invariably have issues requiring attention, there will be disputes and claims – how those are proactively identified, contracted for, handled and solved is the key to successful project construction.
