Project Types
Different projects need different levels of civil engineering.
An ADU may only need a focused set of plans to satisfy permitting requirements. A custom home may require close coordination between the owner, architect, landscape architect, surveyor, and other consultants. A multifamily or public project may involve significantly more planning, stormwater, utility, accessibility, and agency coordination.
Hive adjusts our approach to fit the project.
ADUs & Small Residential
Keep it simple.
We help identify the civil requirements, prepare the plans needed for permitting, and avoid adding unnecessary scope to smaller residential projects.
Meet the requirements. Get the permit. Get out.
Custom Homes
Civil design should support the overall vision for the property.
We coordinate grading, drainage, access, utilities, stormwater, and onsite wastewater with the owner and design team to develop a site that works as a whole.
Multifamily & Affordable Housing
Multifamily projects can bring together grading, utilities, fire access, accessibility, drainage, and stormwater requirements.
We help identify those requirements early and integrate them into the site plan before they become permitting or design problems.
Wineries & Rural Development
Rural projects come with their own challenges.
Hive helps coordinate access, fire requirements, water, onsite wastewater, process wastewater, grading, drainage, stormwater, and other site constraints common to rural and agricultural development.
Public Works
Public projects need clear plans, practical details, and responsive support.
Hive provides civil engineering for parks, accessibility improvements, drainage, roadway, utility, and other public infrastructure projects, with a focus on constructability and coordination through design and construction.
Commercial & Hospitality
Commercial projects often require coordination between site circulation, accessibility, utilities, grading, drainage, stormwater, and agency requirements.
We work with the project team to develop practical civil solutions that support both permitting and construction.
