Hope your Monday is awesome so far! Throughout these next 2 days, we will be sharing with you 5 tips for choosing a civil engineer as recommended by Department Manager of Civil Engineering, Mike Keffer. 1: Screen your short list. Once you’ve done your homework, you’ll be ready to get into specifics with your short list of site civil engineers. In all likelihood, your project will require review by your local municipality (e.g. City, Town, Village, etc.) for zoning compliance and site plan approval. In addition, the project may need approval from federal, state, and county regulatory agencies for improvements such as a new driveway entrance connection onto a public road or the abandonment of an existing onsite sanitary system. Other examples requiring regulatory review would be an improvement in close proximity to regulated wetlands, or if the site generates stormwater discharge to public surface waters. Your site civil engineer would be responsible for preparing and submitting plans to these entities, resolving comments, and obtaining municipal and regulatory approvals for your proposed improvements. In this case, not only must you find the right civil engineer—one who is competent and knowledgeable of preparing construction drawings—but you must also find a civil engineer who is adept at navigating the regulatory process within municipalities and agencies, so approvals can be obtained in a timely manner and your project can proceed on schedule.
