Originating from San Francisco, Design Everest’s Civil Engineers provides civil engineering services and design consulting services to clients throughout the state of California.
A Design Everest Civil Engineer can offer a spectrum of services to prepare your land before any commercial or residential building construction can happen.
For a Residential or Commercial building, you may often find yourself in need of a Civil Engineer Consultation for the following;
For Residential and Commercial Construction
Often you might be in need of civil engineer grading plans, residential Grading plan, commercial grading plan, earthwork estimates. We provide licensed Civil Engineer expert in site grading plan and civil earthwork engineering services will ensure your site meets the best management practice criteria. With our vast experience in civil engineering, we also offer cut and fill grading plan civil engineering estimates to architects and general contractors for residential and commercial projects. Our Civil Engineer grading plan is as per the requirement of San Francisco city CheckList.
For Residential and Commercial Construction
Our architect Partners have rich experience delivering high quality architectural plans which are both in sync with the vision of our customers, and in compliance with the California codes. The nature of the construction industry is such that it is generally very susceptible to getting city comments. However, due to our special emphasis on quality, our plans get fewer comments (if any) which we are able to incorporate quickly, thereby saving you a lot of time.
For Residential and Commercial Construction
Erosion and sediment control is a big part of the proper design of a site to maintain functionality and environmental responsibility. Site-specific techniques are adapted to impart soil stability in delicate areas caused due to slope failure, grading operations or for stabilizing a water body bank. An effective erosion control implementation ensures rock, sand or dirt particles do not leave the site and enter waterways thereby ensuring acceptable quality of stormwater leaving the site (also a compliance requirement for the NPDES permit). Our skilled, experienced and licensed civil engineers at Design Everest offer quality erosion control engineering services in quick turnaround time.
For Residential and Commercial Construction
Our strong civil engineering team at Design Everest conducts surface water hydrology studies, including but not limited to catchment analysis, rainfall analysis, runoff assessment, watercourse analysis and drainage impact assessment for residential and commercial lands throughout California. Design Everest’s civil engineers are highly experienced in hydrology studies.
For Residential and Commercial Construction
Stormwater design involves channeling the surface stormwater to different drainage systems. We deliver efficient stormwater management plans for residential and commercial projects. Low-impact development (LID) is an approach to land development (or re-development) that works with nature to manage stormwater as close to its source as possible. LID employs principles such as preserving and recreating natural landscape features, minimizing effective imperviousness to create functional and appealing site drainage that treats stormwater as a resource rather than a waste product. It minimizes the stormwater draining to the municipal waterways. Licensed civil engineers will design the stormwater design with LID.
For Residential and Commercial Construction
Residential and commercial lands may require to be subdivided into smaller plots that are easier to sell or develop. We provide subdivision plan services in California at competitive pricing and ensure its timely delivery. All our subdivision plats are executed by our licensed surveyors who know the land subdivision process and meet the survey plat recording requirements. A complete package of subdivision plans will contain other information in addition to the plat. A site plan package can include information relative to roads, lighting, landscaping, natural features, access, soil erosion control, and stormwater management. All subdivision designs will be provided by a licensed civil engineer.
For Residential and Commercial Construction
A retaining wall is a structure that is designed to uphold the soil behind it. Several factors must be considered to build the proper retaining walls for your property. For example, for any residential or commercial property, the owner will need to determine the properties of the soil, the elevation, and slope of the ground, and what the height of the wall needs to be. These factors will determine what type of wall will be needed, and how it should be designed. A variety of wall types, such as poured concrete walls, concrete or masonry block walls, sheet pile walls, and others can then be designed and built to achieve the desired outcome. Our licensed and qualified retaining walls civil engineers will help in design and engineering of high quality retaining walls for your property. We also determine whether your retaining wall needs the building permit or not. If a building permit is necessary for the retaining wall, we will help you during the process of getting a building permit. A permit is required when the retaining wall retains earth and is over 4 feet in height, (Measured from the bottom of the footing), as defined in the 2010 California Building Code Sect. 105.2(4)

To start, a Design Everest associate schedules a consultation with you to fully understand your needs.
Once we have an understanding of your needs and have the required inputs from you, we start working on your project right away. Our goal is to work as one cohesive team to deliver superior quality plans.
We will provide permit sets that you may submit to the city for approval. Our fixed fee includes addressing all city comments (if any) on our plans until the permit is approved. Next, we can connect you with our Contractor partners to get started with the construction right away!
We are a true one-stop engineering shop with expertise in a wide range of residential and commercial civil engineering services as listed above. Our experienced civil engineers design efficient structures and are always looking for value engineering solutions so that customers pay less in construction, materials costs, etc.
Unlike most firms, we leverage technology, and make every effort to get high-quality plans delivered in weeks -- not months. Hey, who said construction has to be painful?
Our proprietary data system, the 'Design Hub' allows us to efficiently forecast and optimize our resources. This means we can take on a project of any size at any time while maintaining quality and schedule.
