EVALUATION BEFORE CLOSING ON A PROPERTY — civil engineers Los Angeles

Hi, my name is Don Waite, President of Westland Civil, a Thousand Oaks-based engineering and surveying firm with over 30 years experience in land development projects, located under civil engineers los angeles.

One question many people ask

Can a Civil Engineer evaluate a site before closing on a property?

And the answer is yes. Especially for civil engineers Los Angeles County can be especially tricky, because of the numerous environmental and regional issues that can add significantly to delays and complications.

For example, at Westland Civil we will often assess the land use restrictions and the infrastructure that support development prior to closing. We do this by analyzing existing zoning, hillside and other municipal codes, along with utility capacities and infrastructure, determining the maximum size of building pads, determining appropriate building square footage and area of parking facilities, and analyzing the topography, rock and geological soils conditions, along with location of existing landmark trees and other potential environmental restrictions for the development. For many civil engineers Los Angeles County and local cities can present enough complicated issues that pre-evaluation of a property can be essential in determining the ultimate viability of a project.

HOW LONG IS THE DESIGN PROCESS — los angeles civil engineering consultant

Hi, my name is Don Waite, President of Westland Civil, an engineering and surveying firm with over 30 years experience in land development projects, located under los angeles civil engineering consultant.

One question many people ask

How long do you expect the design process to take?

For Los Angeles civil engineering consultant firms there are many variables to each development and they are dependent on the jurisdiction of the public agencies, and the size and complexity of the proposed development.

For example – is it on a hill side or flat land; are there environmental restrictions – such as endangered animal or plant species, or wetland issues; are there geological soils issues; are there traffic impact issues; and last but not least, any infrastructure issues – such as water supply, roads, drainage and wastewater issues. The Size of project is also a determining factor: Is it a single family residential, a multi-family project or a mixed-use residential, commercial, industrial project, or a large master plan community project?

A smaller project could be designed and approved through the public agency in about 6 months time. Whereas a master plan community could take several years before breaking ground.

That’s why it’s important that your Los Angeles civil engineering consultant firm has long term relationships with the jurisdictions and public agencies involved for these types of projects. At Westland Civil we have extensive experience and knowledge with Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, Santa Barbara and surrounding regions, along with the local agencies and cities. This can help minimize unforeseen site planning and design issues.

Experienced Los Angeles civil engineering consultant firms will generally have an intimate enough understanding of local and regional pitfalls to help you avoid the types of delays and compliactions that can endlessly delay construction, land and development projects. A less experienced firm would only add to the design cost and delays for agency approvals.
