Preconstruction site work is an essential and often underappreciated phase in the development of any architectural project. It’s the unsung heroes of this stage—the surveyors, engineers, and environmental consultants—who ensure that the foundation of our structures is solid, both literally and figuratively.

They meticulously assess the permeability of the soil, which is crucial for managing storm water and preventing runoff. In critical areas, especially on sloped sites, their expertise is vital in preserving the natural landscape, including existing trees and retaining walls. Speaking of retaining walls, these structures are more than just functional; they shape the land and contribute to the aesthetic of a site. However, it’s important to note that any retaining wall over four feet requires careful engineering to ensure stability and safety.
The work of these professionals not only supports the physical integrity of our buildings but also upholds our commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable design. Their contributions lay the groundwork for the successful realization of architectural visions, making them deserving of our utmost respect and gratitude.
Some of the companies that we regularly work with include Axe Engineering, Freeland and Associates, Geotest, and Aquaterra Systems.
