Whether a construction project is residential, commercial, or governmental, the expertise of a professional civil engineer may be required. A civil engineer is often mandatory when designing residential, commercial and industrial projects. Take a look at what civil engineering is comprised of and how civil engineering requirements may apply to you.
Civil engineers design, construct and maintain the structures that form the transportation, resource distribution, environmental systems, and physical infrastructure of modern society. In residential and commercial projects civil engineers are primarily responsible for the site preparation activities, for example, if the property which is to be built requires excavation of the surrounding land there must be an approval from a licensed civil engineer about the site grading plan and earthwork estimate along with the cut and fill calculations of the earthwork to be excavated.
