Site Plan Design Services
Once the concept plan is set, it’s time to dial in the details. Site plan design is where Innovative Engineering & Consulting takes the layout from site planning and turns it into the plans and construction documents your project needs for review and construction. Our team takes a thorough look at every part of the site before the plans go to the city, town or county. For more information, contact us at (317) 769-2916.
What Goes Into Site Plan Design?
The concept plan locates the utilities, roads and property access points. During site plan design, we take a more detailed look at each of those pieces and customize the plans to your site and circumstances, all the way through final construction documents.
Plans We Prepare
- Site layout and grading plans
- Road network and access point details
- Stormwater design, including detention and retention ponds
- Sanitary sewer, water and utility plans
- Preliminary and final design
- Construction plans and construction documents
A Site Plan for Permit Review
Your site plan has to work for the people who review it. We prepare the plans for submittal to the town, city or county and respond to each round of review comments. No firm can promise a permit just because the plans are complete. If we see any red flags, we’ll highlight those and offer suggestions and alternatives.
How Our Site Plan Engineers Work
- Topography and boundary survey from our in-house survey crews
- Preliminary design and client consultation
- Final design and consultation with client
- Submittal for site plan review
- Revisions to review comments
- Construction staking from the approved plans
Site Development Plans We’ve Designed
Some sites take more design work than others. In Zionsville, most of the Sycamore Flats site was in the flood plain, which called for creativity in its design. Next to it, The Cove had a section in the floodway, a complicated site that required ingenuity and creativity from all of our team.
On the Maple Grove Commercial area along Whitestown Parkway, we responded to the Whitestown Technical Advisory Committee comments before final construction plans went to the town planning commission. In Plainfield, we provided site services for three projects in the Sierra Gateway complex along Ronald Reagan Parkway. See more of our commercial development work.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How is site plan design different from site planning?
Site planning sets the layout and the big picture for a site. The design phase is the detailed plan set that follows, with grading, drainage, utilities and construction documents ready for review.
What do you need from me to start?
It helps to have a concept plan and a survey of the property. If you don’t have a survey, our in-house crews can provide the topography and boundary. If you don’t have a concept plan yet, we start there.
Do you handle permitting?
We prepare the plans for review and respond to the comments. Development coordination with government agencies and permitting are part of our land development services.
Do you stake the site for construction?
Yes. Field staking and construction staking are done by our own survey crews. More answers are on our FAQ page.
