Civil Engineering · Land Development
The Project Group is a civil engineering firm for land development serving all of Western Washington along the I‑5 corridor — grading, drainage, stormwater, sanitary sewer, and water, drawn to the precision a build actually demands.
You turn projects constantly. You need civil that keeps pace and clears review the first time.
Occasional Developer →A project every few years. You want senior attention, a fixed fee, and no surprises.
Landowner →You've got land and questions. Let's find out — in plain English — what it can become.
Home Builder →Site design, plot plans, soils, and stormwater — the civil behind the build.
DIY in Over Your Head →You built a retaining wall, graded, cleared land, or cut a driveway — and now it's a code violation. We engineer the fix and get you compliant.
Every service below feeds one deliverable: a plan set an agency will approve and a contractor can build from.
Building placement, circulation, parking, ADA routes, and frontage improvements resolved against code before they become review comments.
Grading that balances on paper and in the field — pad elevations, slope limits, and cut/fill strategy engineered with erosion control, not patched in later.
Conveyance, detention, and water-quality design to the current SWMMWW — modeled to pass review and sized for the storms that actually fall on the site.
Gravity collection, lift stations where the grades demand them, and service connections coordinated with the sewer purveyor — main extension to final lateral.
Domestic and fire-flow distribution, looping, hydrant coverage, and meter and service layout coordinated with the water purveyor and fire authority.
Land-use applications, pre-application strategy, and review-cycle management with Clark County and the cities we work in every week. We speak counter fluently.
The craft underneath everything else — disciplined, standards-driven CAD and complete, coordinated sheet sets reviewers move quickly and bidders trust.
Planting plans, street trees, buffers, and site screening drawn to landscape code and coordinated with the grading and stormwater design — so the landscape sheets clear review with the rest of the set.
Business plan, pro forma, cash-flow projections, and market analysis built into the format lenders actually fund. The single biggest obstacle to developing land isn't the engineering — it's capital, and most owners can't present a deal the way a lender needs to see it. We can.
Civil engineering, end to end. The Project Group does not provide architectural services — by design; we integrate with the architects, surveyors, and geotechs you already trust. Around that core we add the landscape design and lender-ready financing packages that move a project from raw parcel to funded build.
459 projects across 4,531 platted lots since 1996 — predominantly residential, urban and rural, with commercial and industrial/business-park work rounding out the book.
From a single plot plan to a full subdivision — commercial, industrial, and residential work carried through entitlement, permitting, and construction.
Retail, office, and mixed-use sites — access, parking, grading, and stormwater built to pass review.
Heavy-load pavements, truck circulation, and utility capacity for production and distribution.
Lot layout, road geometry, and the full civil package that carries a plat to recording.
From infill inside the UGB to acreage beyond it — design tuned to the jurisdiction and the site.
ESC/TESC and dispersal-based drainage for sites without urban storm systems.
Single-lot site, grading, and drainage plans that permit reviewers approve and builders can use.
Site design, plot plans, soils coordination, and stormwater — a reliable civil bench for builders.
Land-use applications, pre-application strategy, and conditions cleared with the agency.
Feasibility-grade concepts that test what a parcel will actually hold before design begins.
Due diligence on zoning, constraints, yield, and rough cost — before you commit.
How we work — the standing conditions behind every engagement.
Civil engineering for land development, exclusively. No architecture — we integrate with the architect, surveyor, and geotech you already use.
All of Western Washington along the I‑5 corridor, with deepest fluency in Clark County and the cities we work in weekly.
Fixed fee. Scope, deliverables, and price are defined up front; a mobilization deposit initiates work.
CAD-native since the late 1990s. Standards-driven sheet sets reviewers move quickly and bidders trust.
Designed to all Western Washington Jurisdictional Standards and Washington Department of Ecology criteria, including the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW).
Send the parcel number or address and what you're trying to do. We'll tell you straight whether it pencils — before you spend real money.
