How We Can Help
We have vast experience in the preparation of civil engineering designs for all types of development.
We are able to undertake all the necessary engineering design work for a development site, from the initial conception stage through to the securing of planning approval, obtaining technical approval for all elements of the design and finally providing construction drawings for tendering and site works.
We combine expertise in residential and development engineering with sound commercial awareness and understanding.
We always strive to ensure the optimum outcome for the client, minimising the financial exposure, maximising the development potential and devising intelligent, cost effective engineering solutions, whilst ensuring the design is in accordance with both local and national design standards.
Our services include:
▪ Initial Site Appraisals with respect to vehicle and pedestrian access, drainage and utilities.
▪ Helping you to secure planning permission.
▪ Detailed design (vertical and horizontal) of highways using the latest software.
▪ Detailed design of adoptable and private drainage, including attenuation and SUDS to satisfy
Planning Policy Statement 25.
▪ Determination of finished floor levels and external levels for the entire development.
▪ Cut and fill analysis using the latest ground modelling software to ensure excavated material
is balanced on-site wherever possible.
▪ Preparation of construction detail drawings for all elements of the scheme.
▪ Preparation of legal drawings for Section 38 and Section 104 agreements and conveyance
plans.
▪ Liaison with Statutory Bodies to obtain technical approval and discharge of planning
conditions.
▪ Close liaison with the design team providing civil engineering advice to ensure the most cost
effective design solutions.

Residential & Development Engineering
We believe that residential and development engineering advice should commence at the initial design stage, to enable civil engineering input into the proposed site layout plan, with particular regard to junction location, visibility splays, road alignment, finished floor levels and drainage.
This allows any constraints to be identified at the planning stage, so that the scheme put forward to the Planning Authority can be constructed once planning permission is granted.
Once planning permission has been granted, the developer is obliged to obtain Technical Approval from the Highway Authority and Water Authority for the adoptable highways and sewers serving the development, in order for them to be adopted under a Section 38 Agreement (highways) and Section 104 Agreement (sewers).
