Comprehensive Civil Engineering & Land Development Services

Comprehensive Site Development by ACG.Design

Phase 1: Due Diligence & Preliminary Planning

Ensuring your project is viable from a legal, environmental, and structural standpoint before construction begins.

  • Zoning Coordination: We navigate complex municipal land-use laws to ensure your project meets all “permitted use” and setback requirements, representing your firm during public hearings.

  • Concept Site Plan: High-level visual layouts to test the “fit” of your project on the land, identifying optimal placement for buildings and access points early.

  • Feasibility Studies: A rigorous assessment of soil stability, environmental constraints, and infrastructure capacity to confirm your site can support your vision.

  • Hydraulic Analysis: Advanced modeling of water flow to guarantee appropriate pressure for fire protection and domestic use.

Phase 2: Specialized Infrastructure & Design

Technical engineering that manages how your site interacts with the surrounding environment and public systems.

  • Traffic Design: Engineering turn lanes, signalization, and pedestrian flow to ensure safe and efficient access to your development.

  • Drainage Studies: Specialized analysis of stormwater runoff to mitigate flood risks and determine the size of necessary detention or retention systems.

  • Storm Sewer & Culvert Design: Designing the underground networks and crossing structures that protect your site and public roads from water damage.

  • Power & Telco Design: Seamlessly integrating electrical and telecommunications infrastructure into the master site plan.

Phase 3: Utility & Construction Engineering

Detailed blueprints and coordination services that provide the roadmap for contractors and utility providers.

  • Electrical Utility Coordination: We act as the lead liaison between your project and power companies (like NV Energy). We manage the application process, identify transformer locations, and coordinate the “dry utility” trenching to ensure power is ready when you need it.

  • Improvement Plans: Comprehensive documents detailing all paving, curbs, sidewalks, and site lighting for public and private use.

  • Grading Plans: Precise earthwork calculations that define how land is shaped to achieve proper elevations and positive drainage.

  • Utility Design: Technical engineering for water mains, sanitary sewers, and gas lines, ensuring every connection meets strict local standards.

  • Erosion Control: Developing mandatory plans to prevent soil displacement and maintain environmental compliance during the construction phase.

Phase 4: Regulatory Review & Permitting

Navigating the bureaucratic process to move your project from the drafting table to the field.

  • File & Process Improvement Plans: Internal project management strategies used to streamline submittals and reduce the time spent in the revision cycle.

  • Regulatory Review & Permitting: We represent your project at city, county, and state agencies, managing the technical dialogue required to secure all necessary building and site permits.
