We efficiently conduct surveying and engineering computations with AutoCAD and Carlson engineering software. These precisely calculate topographic contours, cross sections, and excavation quantities.

Design capabilities include project scoping, preliminary design, construction documents, cost-estimating and construction services related to a wide variety of municipal and private civil projects. These projects have included roads, bridges, water supply systems, sanitary sewer and storm drainage systems as well as the design of docks, towers, canals, weirs, small dams, and residential and commercial building structural systems. We have knowledge of island working conditions and costs. Our construction cost estimates are based on local bid costs when possible, providing our clients with a trustworthy planning tool.
