Site layout
- Building placement and setbacks
- Existing conditions and demolition
- Property lines and easements from the survey
- Phasing when the project happens in stages
Services
Civil engineering and site development.
A site plan brings together building placement, parking, access, utilities, and drainage. We help you work through those details, prepare the drawings and calculations, and respond to questions during plan review.
Parking and access
- Stall count and layout, including accessible spaces
- Driveways, aprons, and sight lines
- Truck access and turning where it matters
- Sidewalks, ramps, and pedestrian routes
Utilities
- Water and sanitary sewer connections
- Septic and well coordination on rural lots
- Utility easements and meter locations
- Coordination with the utility provider
Grading and drainage
- Finished-floor elevations
- Lot grading and positive drainage away from structures
- Swales, retention, and discharge points
- Stormwater calculations for the project requirements
Construction documents
- Erosion and sediment control plans
- Construction access and staging notes
- Paving, striping, and signage
- Maintenance-of-traffic plans when required for roadway work
Throughout the review
- Responses to plan review comments
- Revised site sheets after utility or drainage comments
- Coordination with the architect and contractor
- Site visits in Orlando and Orange County when needed
When you need this
Site plans show up earlier than people expect.
A lot of projects that feel like building permits turn into site plan reviews. These are common situations where site plans may be needed.
New commercial buildings
Building placement, parking, service areas, and connections to public roads.
Additions that change the site
More square footage often means more parking, more drainage, or both.
Change of use
A space that held one kind of business does not automatically work for another one.
New homes and lot development
Building placement, finished floor, grading, and utility connections on a lot that is being built on for the first time.
What we need
Start with a current survey.
A current survey gives us the property boundaries, easements, and site information needed to start the design. We review what you have and let you know if additional survey information is needed before drawing begins.
01
The survey
Property boundaries, easements, flood information, and elevations needed for the site design.
02
The intended use
What the property will be used for and roughly how much parking or traffic it will bring.
03
Utility information
Water and sewer availability, or the plan for septic and well if the lot is outside those service areas.
04
Any prior comments
If a reviewer has already looked at the project, those comments steer what the next version needs to say.
Common questions
Questions about starting a site project.
What if I do not have a survey yet?
Tell us. We will go over what the property needs and what the jurisdiction expects, and you will know what to order before spending money on drawings.
Can you take over a project that is stuck in review?
Send the comments and current drawings. We will review what has been done, identify the changes needed, and confirm which parts we can take on.
Do you handle the drainage calculations?
We prepare the stormwater and drainage documentation that goes with the site plan, and we revise it when the reviewer has questions.
