Quoted from the firm’s own description of its work. Most of these run through all three services: planning, engineering and survey.
“Our residential neighborhoods include Single Family Subdivisions, Townhomes, Condominiums, and Apartments.”
Neighborhood work starts with yield: what the acreage will actually carry after buffers, floodplain and stormwater have been considered. We lay the neighborhood out, take it through rezoning where the classification needs to change, engineer the plans, and survey the lots so they can be recorded and sold.
“Our office and institutional work include Office Complexes, Churches, Health Care Institutions, Public Schools, Private Schools, and Federal/State and County Government work.”
Institutional clients rarely build all at once. A congregation or a school builds in phases as funds allow, which means the master plan has to survive being built in pieces over years — and the parking and traffic case has to satisfy neighbors at a public hearing before any of it starts.
“Our Commercial Projects include Recreation Centers, Private Clubs, Shopping Centers and Mixed-Use Developments.”
Commercial sites are usually decided by access and parking before anything else. Where the entrances can go, what the road will tolerate, how trucks move through, and what the stormwater requirement does to the developable footprint.

A selection of firms shown in the source portfolio materials. Relationships and current use of these marks require stakeholder approval before launch.
Projects often involve several consultants. This portfolio is intended to help visitors recognize relevant project types; specific roles and deliverables will be added after they are approved.
That division of labor works best when the land questions are settled early, which is the argument for bringing us in before the design is finished rather than after.
