Engineering and Surveying Services in Zionsville
A good Zionsville plan starts with the ground. We find out where the water goes, where the boundaries are and what the town will ask for, then build the plan around it.

Zionsville Projects We've Worked On
Several of our Zionsville sites have needed careful design around water. They took creativity from our whole team.
Examples
- The Cove, a housing project with a section in the floodway
- Sycamore Flats, an apartment complex next to The Cove where most of the site is in the floodplain. It received zoning approval, and we were awarded the construction drawings
- Courtyards of Zionsville, an empty nester neighborhood north of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church, from site design and primary plat through local and state authorizations
- A residential project with home builders such as Drees Homes
Floodplain and floodway are not the same thing. A floodway is where water sits during a flood. The floodplain is the higher ground around it, where water can back up in extreme conditions. Build in the floodplain and you're required to make up that lost storage somewhere else on the site. Our residential development page covers neighborhoods from 3 lots to 700.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you design a site that's partly in the floodplain?
Yes. Sycamore Flats and The Cove both had floodplain or floodway on site. Our survey identifies floodplain and wetland conditions first, then our engineers lay out the site and drainage around them. No one can promise approval, but we'll tell you early what the ground allows.
Do you work on multifamily projects in Zionsville?
Yes. Our Zionsville work includes the Sycamore Flats apartment complex and the Courtyards of Zionsville neighborhood.
What does a Zionsville project need before design starts?
An expert look at the land: boundaries, topography, floodplain and wetlands, and where utilities and access will come from. Those answers shape the concept plan.
