What We Do
At JACOB | MARTIN, we offer comprehensive civil engineering services to support residential and commercial projects, delivering profitable solutions to our clients that bring value to our community.
Residential and Commercial Design:
We specialize in designing residential and commercial developments with the goal of creating vibrant new communities and new businesses that bring value to them. We design subdivisions and multi-family complexes, incorporating roadways, utilities, and stormwater management that are aesthetic, safe, and efficient. We create layouts for shopping centers, office parks, and industrial sites, ensuring efficient land use, effective grading, and utility integration to serve these developments. Our team’s goal is to ensure that all developments meet the current needs of our clients and allow for future growth.
Subdividing, Zoning, and Platting:
We help clients navigate the critical processes of subdividing, zoning, and platting to ensure compliance with local regulations. Our team will help developers subdivide larger parcels into buildable lots, handling boundary surveys, lot layouts, and utility planning to make the land functional and compliant. We assist with securing proper zoning and handling any required changes, representing clients at public hearings to ensure smooth approvals. We also prepare detailed plats outlining property boundaries and infrastructure, obtaining all necessary approvals to proceed with construction.
Construction Administration:
Our Land Development team serves our clients by overseeing the construction phase, ensuring that projects follow the design plan and maintain high quality. We regularly inspect construction sites to verify adherence to designs and local codes and we collaborate with contractors to resolve issues, keeping the project on track and within budget. We’ll also review submittals and respond to Requests for Information (RFIs) to ensure construction follows the original design, and we will handle final inspections and punch lists to ensure the project meets client expectations and regulatory standards.
