Civil Engineering plays a vital role in the planning, design, permitting and construction of commercial development projects. P. M. P. Associates, LLC provides these civil engineering services in a lead role directly for our clients or as part of a project design team.
The initial services provided to our clients for a commercial development project typically involves a due-diligence review of:
- Local zoning regulations,
- Local by-laws,
- Planning Board regulations
- Availability of utilities,
- Wetlands & floodplain issues.
An initial client meeting to review our findings concerning the anticipated use of the property, allows our clients to make educated decisions regarding the viability of a project as well as the risks and limitations.
Local regulations requiring the submission of detailed design documents for Site Plan & Special Permit approval are becoming more and more restrictive. When these regulations are combined with local Board of Health and Conservation Commission by-laws, the design and permitting of a commercial project expands to a higher level of complexity. In some instances, a project will need relief from local Zoning By-laws in order to achieve the design goals of the project.
Our design staff, under the direction of Michael Perrault, P.E., provides our clients with an informed, logical, organized, progressive approach to the complex world of commercial development design and permitting. When our civil engineering services are part of a team approach, our staff closely coordinates with the Architect or Owner, to provide the same level of professional service as our individual clients.
