  • On-site work includes grading & drainage, storm drains, flood protection, erosion, retention, concrete/paving, drywells, and storm water.

Likewise site inspections include both on-site and off-site work.

  • On-site work for zoning requirements like the amount of parking, landscaping, or shade required, building position, height and colors, view screening, ADA accessibility, etc.
