Design Everest’s Civil Engineer will provide following Civil Engineering
Services

Site Grading Plans and Earthwork Estimates

Our licensed Civil Engineers are experienced in site grading plan and civil earthwork engineering services, we make sure that your site meets the best management practice criteria. Properly designed grading plans by a Civil Engineer can save on overall material movement, resulting in significant cost and schedule savings. With vast experience, we also offer cut and fill estimates to Architects and General Contractors for residential building projects.

Retaining Wall

Retaining wall is a structure that is designed to uphold the soil behind it. Many factors are considered to build the proper retaining walls for your property. Any residential property owner have to determine properties of the soil, elevation, slope of the ground and the height of the retaining wall. These factors determine the type of wall which is needed and how it should be designed for your home. Our Licensed and experienced Civil Engineers can help in designing and engineering quality retaining walls for your residential property. We also determine whether your retaining wall needs the building permit or not. If a home permit is necessary for the retaining wall we will help you during the process of getting a permit. Retaining walls require a permit when the retaining wall retains earth, and is over 4 feet in height, as defined in the 2010 California Building Code Sect. 105.2(4)

Drainage and Sewer Plans

Our Civil Engineer with extensive experience in complex drainage projects delivers hydrologic and hydraulic design calculations and drainage plans for various projects. We optimize drainage systems and ensure compliance with the applicable codes and standards. Design Everest’s Civil Engineer also designs and provide plans for the sanitary sewer system and underground stormwater sewer systems.

Stormwater Design (with LID)

Stormwater Design involves channeling the surface stormwater to different drainage systems. We deliver efficient stormwater management plans for residential 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.

Hydrology studies

Our experienced 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.

Erosion Control

Erosion and sediment control is a big part of a site design 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 offers quality Erosion Control engineering services in quick turnaround time.

Subdivision Plans

Residential 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 it’s timely delivery. All our subdivision plats are executed by our licensed civil engineers 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 the Subdivision Designs will be provided by a licensed Civil Engineer.

Septic Tank Design

All the wastewater which flows into the drain of a house gets collected in septic tanks. They are the underground, onsite, small-scale sewage treatment setups that collect sewage. A septic tank contains two main two major components: a septic tank and the absorption field. The wastewater flows into the septic tank which gets treated by the bacterial action and then the effluent wastewater after primary treatment gets sent to the absorption field. A civil engineer can examine the lay of the land and perform various soil tests to establish the best area to construct the septic system. The septic tank design must meet the relevant zone and code requirements.

Coronavirus Measures

Design Everest is OPEN! We work remotely and are fully committed to taking on and delivering projects.

We are here to support your plans

Design Everest’s remote working model can safely take-up and deliver your projects within the current government guidelines on COVID-19 (a.k.a Coronavirus). This applies to many of our project scopes, including architecture, civil engineering, structural engineering, and construction administration across California.
How we are still able to support you safely?

Design Everest is set up to remotely leverage digital platforms (virtual meetings, calls, emails etc.) in client-facing and internal operations. Over the years, we have advanced this ability to the extent that we can continue supporting new and existing clients across many of our projects. Even projects that need an on-site visit can be fulfilled safely via video calls or in-person visits, where permitted.

Note that the present government guidelines permit the delivery of essential services, including those related to construction.
Are we still able to service projects across California?

YES, Design Everest's remote working model enables us to work safely with all clients, suppliers, industry partners, and internal staff as per government guidelines.
Are we limited to certain types of projects due to COVID-19 (Coronavirus)?

Design Everest can still support many of our types of projects (new or ongoing) safely. For example, new custom homes, accessory dwelling units, civil plans etc. We are committed to delivering these remotely and safely as per the current government guidelines. In case of any external dependency that is unavoidable/unavailable, your assigned Custom Success Manager or Project Manager will keep you posted on it and try their best to keep your plans in-progress.
Will ongoing or recently-contracted projects go ahead?

YES, our remote working model enables us to be fully committed to ongoing projects. In case of any external dependency that is unavoidable, unavailable or unsafe, your assigned Custom Success Manager or Project Manager will keep you updated and try their best to keep your plans in-progress. If an on-site visit is not feasible via a video call, we will try our best to fulfill the visit safely, where permitted.

Some of our clients are already going ahead with their projects with us via video calls or virtual meetings. Your assigned Customer Success Manager or Project Manager is happy to help you with this, where needed.
Why should you proceed with projects now?

There are multiple reasons for this. It's typical to plan the construction step in the summer. So, clients get started on the pre-construction steps (architecture, engineering, and construction admin) in winter or spring to stick to planned timelines.

Projects such as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and Additions/Remodels enable clients to rent/resale and generate revenue. Meanwhile, many clients are concerned about protecting their families and businesses against earthquakes by retrofitting their homes and buildings. These are just a few of the various reasons why it’s still reasonable for clients to stick to their construction plans.
Have Questions?

Feel free to phone us at (888) 311-3015 Alternatively, you may contact your assigned Custom Success Manager or Project Manager directly via phone, email or virtual meetings.

To summarize, Design Everest is OPEN and able to serve new and existing clients, affiliates, suppliers, and industry partners.

Stay safe and rest assured that Design Everest can help you go ahead with your plans as per the recommended safety guidelines!
