Site Development
We work with clients in conceptual and feasibility analysis for sites prior to closing. We delve through logistics and costs anaylsis for residential mixed use commercial and recreational development projects.
Municipal Services
We work with towns and other governmental agencies to design roads, bridges, underground utilities, stormwater management, and public spaces. We handle design, permitting, environmental assessments, and construction planning. We work with Municipalities and have secured over 2.0 M dollars in in the last 3 years with combined grant and municipal funding for highway improvements.

Management of the public input phase, bid and project delivery back to the residents.
Access and Street Construction
Our engineers have extensive experience in the design and construction management of streets, highways, and bridges for private and public use. All aspects of design are considered before construction starts to ensure smooth project completion.
Mount Desert Islands topography warrants context sensitive solutions. Navigating steep slopes for four season access with beatiful finishes. We know what it means to work on private sites where only the work areas get disturbed, concentrated flow in , clean flow out of the work. Private property development was the foundation of our establishment.
Residential Site Grading
We provide grading plans in challenging situations where inches matter. This is particularly challenging in broad open hardscape areas such as terraces. This is also true in downtown revitalizations where thresholds and existing conditions provide physical height constraints.
Utility Plans
Our engineers make utility plans for residential and municipal projects t from initial planning through permitting and construction. When it comes to utility results we like to say if you can not see it when the project is completed we get asked back for another job.
When investments of land and residential projects are on the fringes of common conveniences and services, we work with local and state agencies to extend them to neighborhoods.
