Engineering Services

The beauty of a property is only valuable when it is built to be both functional and economically efficient. Our team of civil engineers focuses on creating a solid infrastructure beneath and around your property, ensuring its long-term functionality for decades to come. We offer a comprehensive range of services, including subdivision and site plan design, land-use and rezoning exhibits, sanitary and storm sewer design, water supply system design, grading and drainage design, and stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPP).

Land-Use Planning

Is every acre truly created equal? Each one presents its own unique aspects and challenges that must be carefully considered in development planning. The land-use planners at Civil Engineering Consultants specialize in maximizing the potential of every acre, crafting plans that benefit both the developer and the end user. Our services include land-use concept plans, comprehensive plan amendments, rezoning exhibits and submittals, planned unit developments (PUD), neighborhood meetings, public presentations, and expert permit and regulatory assistance.

Every acre – every square foot – matters. Aesthetics and function are not mutually exclusive. There is a tangible economic return on beauty. And no two projects are the same. These are the ideals that drive the team at Civil Engineering Consultants to create some of the most recognizable and sought-after properties in the Des Moines area.
