Paving & Parking

A parking project involves more than the paved surface. Layout, elevations, vehicle movement and connections to the rest of the property help define the civil design and any related work.

An engineer may be needed for a new parking area, expansion or redesign that changes drainage, access or site use.

Confirm the engineering scope with the professional you engage and any permit requirements with the local building department.

Topics that may be relevant to the review: ADA parking, curb cut, driveway and parking garage.

The engineer can review existing conditions, evaluate the proposed changes and prepare the calculations or design details included in the agreed scope.

• Expanding an existing vehicle parking area
• Revising a paved layout and its surface elevations

Start with a short description. These details can help define the scope, but you do not need everything ready to request a quote.

• The project city or county, and the property address if known
• What you want to build, change or repair
• How the space or site is used now and what you plan to change
• Whether you have drawings or photos to share during follow-up
• The status of any permit application and comments received
• Your target dates or other scheduling constraints
