Site Planning

Every project, whether a residential or commercial subdivision, industrial park, school, church, golf course, or retail shopping center, requires planning. The planning activity involves considerations for lot configuration, street layout, parking and traffic circulation, availability of water and sewer utilities, storm water management, as well as the relationship of the proposed project with local and regional zoning and land use codes and comprehensive plans.



Land development is an intricate process requiring a wide variety of experienced professionals to combine their individual talents in order to transform land from an underdeveloped state to one that is enhanced for a specified use. From initial feasibility and due diligence to final closeout and acceptance, a comprehensive Civil Engineering and Surveying Team is vital to each project's success.

This team's significance becomes especially apparent when clients are required to content with steadily increasing levels of regulation in order to obtain project approval in the expanding metropolitan areas. Barrington Engineering Consultants specializes in helping its clients solve these challenging issues.
