Existing & Proposed Grades
Spot elevations, contours or grade references when reliable survey or topographic information is available.

Grading, Drainage & Civil Permit Plans
Civil site-plan support for projects that need proposed grades, drainage direction, spot elevations, swales, impervious-area coordination or related site information for permit review.

OVERVIEW
Clear Drawings for the Next Permit Step
Grading and drainage plans communicate how a site will handle elevation changes and surface water around buildings, driveways, yards and adjacent properties. The exact level of engineering depends on project size, site conditions and local requirements.
- Property address
- Boundary and topographic survey if available
- Architectural or site layout
- Known finished floor elevation
- Drainage or flood information
- Existing/proposed driveway and hardscape
- Jurisdiction comments or civil checklist
SCOPE
What We Can Coordinate
The exact deliverables depend on the property, project and reviewing jurisdiction.
Drainage Direction
Flow arrows, swales, collection points and general drainage intent.
Driveways & Hardscape
Paving, slopes and impervious areas coordinated with the proposed site layout.
Building Elevations
Finished floor or pad information when included in the civil scope.
Erosion Control
Basic construction-phase erosion and sediment control notes where required.
Utility / Septic Coordination
Known utilities, septic or site services shown when relevant and supported by source information.

QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a topographic survey?
For projects requiring designed elevations, drainage calculations or detailed grading, reliable topographic information is commonly needed.
Can you prepare a basic drainage plan from an existing survey?
Often yes when the survey includes sufficient elevation information and the jurisdiction does not require additional field data.
Can grading and drainage be combined with the site plan?
Yes. Many permit packages show site layout and civil information together or on coordinated sheets.
Do you provide civil engineering review?
Engineering coordination can be included separately where the jurisdiction or project requires it.
