Scope and availability review

Project availability is determined after reviewing the scope, project location, jurisdictional requirements and required engineering disciplines. Additional insurance or specialty clearance may be required before contract or production.

Customer trigger

Civil scopes that affect the entire project

Drainage and detention

Develop the accepted hydrology, conveyance, water-quality, and detention basis from survey and jurisdiction criteria.

Grading and erosion control

Coordinate finished grades, drainage paths, stabilization, and land-disturbance requirements.

Commercial site development

Support defined land-development packages with civil drawings and calculations.

Pavement and streets

Design accepted commercial concrete pavement, access, curb, and street improvements.

Water and sanitary sewer

Coordinate accepted utility plans, calculations, profiles, and public-agency requirements.

Permit corrections

Review civil comments and revise the original accepted engineering scope through one ordinary cycle.

Starting fees

Premium commercial scope with controlled pricing

Final fee depends on the accepted jurisdiction, existing information, building and equipment complexity, required disciplines, field needs, and deadline.

Proposal and payment policy

  • No payment is required before scope and availability review and acceptance of a written proposal.
  • Projects at or below $3,000: 100% before production after proposal acceptance.
  • Projects from $3,001-$25,000: 60% deposit; balance before final sealed issuance.
  • Projects above $25,000: 50% deposit, 30% at coordinated draft, 20% before final issuance.
  • Rush service: 40% premium when accepted in writing.
  • Site visits, surveying, geotechnical work, testing, laboratory services, and scope changes are separately priced.

Defined deliverables

What the accepted package may include

  • Drainage and detention calculations when required
  • Grading, erosion-control, and drainage drawings
  • Accepted pavement, access, water, and sewer design
  • Code and jurisdiction notes
  • Coordination with survey, geotechnical, architectural, and utility information
  • One ordinary AHJ review cycle

Turnaround control

Complete qualified requests received during operating hours target a same-business-day scope response. The written proposal confirms the production start, required intake, responsible-professional availability, review milestones, and final issuance date before payment.

Scope boundary

Boundary/topographic survey, platting, geotechnical investigation, environmental permitting, wetland work, traffic studies, off-site utility capacity, utility fees, construction staking, inspection, and testing are separate unless listed.

Project information

Send address, AHJ, records, and the real deadline

Use the project description to identify the full project address and authority having jurisdiction. Upload the files already available; additional photographs or records may follow during scope review.

Required intake

  • Project address, parcel, and AHJ
  • Current boundary/topographic survey
  • Proposed site and architectural plan
  • Geotechnical and drainage reports
  • Utility records and availability letters
  • Existing permit comments
  • Disturbance area and project schedule
  • Known easements, floodplain, and downstream constraints

Responsible-charge statement

Engineering services are performed under the responsible charge of the appropriately licensed Grand Street Engineering professional for the applicable project and jurisdiction. Grand Street Engineering does not offer after-the-fact sealing, rubber stamping, or a stamp-only service.

Owner, equipment, geometry, criteria, or scope changes require a written change order. Final issuance remains subject to professional review and required payment.

Scope and availability review

Start with the facts you already have

Include the project address, AHJ, requested service, current problem, permit comments, deadline, and decision-makers. The five-minute response target applies during operating hours; the same-day proposal standard applies after qualification and sufficient scope information.

Frequently asked questions

Scope and payment questions

Is surveying included?

No. Surveying is separately contracted or coordinated unless explicitly listed in the proposal.

Can drainage be designed without a current survey?

Reliable topographic and boundary information is normally required. A paid data-verification step may be needed before a fixed production scope.

Does this include a traffic study?

Traffic-impact and access studies are a separate service and fee.

Where is service available?

Only where GSE and the responsible professional are authorized and competent for the accepted civil scope.
