Civil Engineering Design: Blending Technical Expertise and Creativity

Leveraging the experience of other disciplines at Environmental Design Group, we explore, evaluate, and engineer each site to address opportunities that align with project goals. We address municipal requirements, integrating a balanced blend of technical expertise with functionality and creativity to create a comprehensive civil design.

Project Delivery Methods

We have extensive experience working with all project delivery methods in both the public and private sectors including Design/Bid/Build, Construction Management at Risk, Design Build, and the Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) process and are involved in every stage of the project lifecycle from concept to close out.
