Our Process

How It Works

From initial assessment to permit-ready plans in Sarasota County.

1

We visit your property to evaluate existing conditions, identify the source of water problems, assess soil types and permeability, and document elevations and flow patterns. This on-site assessment is the foundation of every successful drainage design.

2

Our survey team collects accurate elevation data, property boundary information, and locations of existing utilities and structures. This data feeds directly into the engineering design to ensure precise grading and pipe sizing.

3

Our Licensed Professional Engineers develop a complete drainage design including pipe sizing calculations, grading plans, detention/retention requirements, and construction details. Every design accounts for Florida's 25-year/24-hour storm event and local code requirements.

4

We prepare and submit all required permit applications to your local building department, SFWMD, or other agencies. Our team manages reviewer communication and addresses any comments to keep your project moving toward approval.
