The success of a building is determined not only by its structure but also by the surrounding site. Well-designed sidewalks, parking lots, streets, and drainage systems contribute to a cohesive and safer experience. Site civil engineering covers the design of aspects of a site that are 5’ outside of the building. Whether working on a greenfield site, infill property, or an update to an existing building, Professional Engineering Consultants (PEC) engineers play a crucial role in site development planning by determining the location of a new building and how a site should be developed.

Together with clients and contractors, we strategize the best scenario for parking, vehicle access, and design for the water, sanitary sewer, and stormwater utility requirements of the building and site. In addition to these amenities, site civil engineers ensure the buildings, site improvements, and adjacent buildings are protected from stormwater runoff. PEC has a long history of working with clients on a wide range of projects. Our engineers take a collaborative approach as they coordinate with owners, city representatives, planning departments, other engineering disciplines, and architects.
