Land Development Engineering
Land development requires more than drawing a site plan. Access, drainage, utilities, grading, easements, zoning, platting, environmental constraints, and agency requirements must work together. Waeltz & Prete helps owners and development teams understand these issues early and convert a concept into coordinated, permit-ready construction documents.

Commercial and Industrial Development
For commercial and industrial projects, we coordinate the civil site design with the architect, owner, contractor, utility providers, and reviewing agencies. The goal is a site that functions well, drains properly, can be constructed efficiently, and satisfies the requirements for access, fire protection, utilities, parking, grading, and stormwater management.
Subdivision and Residential Development
For subdivisions and residential projects, we assist with roadway layout, lot grading, drainage, detention, water and wastewater systems, platting, easements, phasing, and construction documents. Early evaluation of topography, floodplain, downstream drainage, utility capacity, and jurisdictional requirements reduces redesign and helps establish a realistic development strategy.
