A building requires an effective site plan that harmonizes with the surrounding landscape architecture. AB Group offers in-house civil engineering services in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas, catering to markets such as Charlotte, Charleston, and Austin. We focus on site planning that integrates the proposed building with existing property conditions, ensuring regulatory compliance while addressing stormwater management and promoting sustainable development.
Site Planning and Land Development Engineering
Where can the building sit? How will people and vehicles reach it? Our site planning work considers building placement, setbacks, driveways, access, and parking in relation to the property and its intended use. These early decisions are crucial for effective site planning and help shape both the architectural design and land development plans, ensuring regulatory compliance throughout the process.
Grading and Drainage Plans
The slope of a site significantly affects how rainwater flows. Depending on the project, we develop grading and drainage plans that consider proposed buildings, paved areas, and changes to the ground while also promoting sustainable development practices.
Stormwater Management
New roofs and paved surfaces can alter runoff patterns. We address project-specific stormwater management needs as part of the civil design, ensuring that the required approach and documentation align with the site’s characteristics and the reviewing jurisdiction’s regulations.
Utility Coordination
Water, sewer, and other site utilities must integrate seamlessly into the proposed layout. We coordinate relevant utility information and service locations with the building and site plans, adhering to both the project scope and the utility providers’ requirements.
Site Plan Review and Permitting Support
When included in the project scope, AB Group prepares or coordinates civil documents for site plan or land development review, assisting in addressing related review comments. The local authority determines submission requirements and approvals to ensure regulatory compliance.
Civil Engineering Outside NC, SC, and TX
For projects in states where AB Group does not hold a civil engineering license, we collaborate with a qualified partner licensed in the project’s state to ensure all aspects of site planning and development are handled efficiently.

During early site planning, particularly if building placement, grading, drainage, access, parking, or utilities could affect the design.
No. That depends on the proposed site work and local review requirements.
Send the property address or parcel ID, a brief description of what you want to build, and any survey or existing site plans you have.
Every property raises different questions related to access, grading, drainage, stormwater management, and utilities. Share the location of your project along with your plans for construction or changes, and ensure you have any surveys or preliminary site planning documents ready for our discussion.
AB Group offers in-house civil engineering services in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas, focusing on sustainable development and regulatory compliance. For projects outside these states, we collaborate with locally licensed partners to meet your needs.
