I will be your civil engineer for grading drainage and stormwater plans
About this Gig
Are city permit delays holding up your project because you lack a proper grading or drainage plan? Pooling water, improper slopes, and strict environmental regulations can turn any construction project into a legal and financial headache.
As a professional civil engineer, I specialize in site development, hydrology, and hydraulic design. I will deliver code-compliant grading and stormwater management plans engineered to protect your property and pass municipal reviews.
What I Offer:
- Lot Grading & Earthwork Plans (Cut & Fill)
- Stormwater Management Plans & Reports (SWMP / SWPPP)
- Retention/Detention Pond & Catch Basin Design
- Roof Drainage & Downspout Disconnection Layouts
- Site Utility & Civil Infrastructure Layouts
Software Expertise:
Your project will be modeled using industry-standard engineering software: AutoCAD Civil 3D, HEC-RAS, EPA SWMM, and StormCAD.
Why Choose Me?
- Tailored to your local city/county Best Management Practices (BMPs).
- Highly detailed, clean vector layouts ready for submission.

FAQ
What data or documents do you need from me to start?
To ensure accuracy, I will need your property's topographic survey (preferably in DWG/CAD format), a basic site layout sketch of your proposed building, and any specific design guidelines or checklists required by your city.
Can you generate a formal Stormwater Management Report (SWMP/SWPPP)?
Yes. For projects that require rigorous hydrological modeling and calculations, my Premium package includes a comprehensive technical report detailing runoff coefficients, pipe capacities, and retention volumes.
Do you calculate earthwork volumes (Cut and Fill)?
Absolutely. Using AutoCAD Civil 3D, I can generate precise surface models to calculate the exact volume of soil that needs to be excavated or filled on your site. (Please ensure this is requested upfront).
What happens if my local city planning department requests changes?
City comments are a normal part of civil engineering. All packages include a round of revisions specifically dedicated to addressing municipal feedback or correction notices to ensure your plans get approved.
Do your designs accommodate specific environmental or green infrastructure rules?
Yes. I design according to local environmental regulations, integrating Best Management Practices (BMPs) like bioswales, rain gardens, and permeable pavements if required by your jurisdiction.
