General Fee Schedule (Year 2026)

Preliminary Grading, Drainage & Utility Plan

Starting from $1300

Preliminary civil plans prepared for concept validation, feasibility studies, and budgeting. These plans are suitable for early-stage decision-making and coordination with architects, developers, and estimators.

Typical deliverables may include:

  • Existing and proposed grading concepts

  • Preliminary drainage flow and stormwater routing

  • Conceptual utility layouts (water, sanitary, storm)

  • Coordination with architectural/site layout

  • GIS-based site data review (contours, parcels, flood zones, utilities, easements)

Fees are based on site size, complexity and scope. Projects over 1 acre or with complex grading require a custom quote.

Detailed Grading Plan Draft

Starting from $800

Includes a detailed grading layout prepared with real construction logic:

  • Spot elevations

  • Slope direction and percentages

  • High/low points

  • Drainage flow arrows

  • ADA-compliant slopes (where applicable)

Drainage & Stormwater Plan

Starting from $500

Conceptual to semi-detailed drainage plans showing:

  • Surface drainage patterns

  • Inlets, pipes, and discharge points

  • Preliminary stormwater management concepts

  • Detention/retention layout (if required)

All drainage concepts are based on local standards, but must be verified with the approving authority.

Utility Plan (Water, Sanitary & Storm)

Starting from $600

Includes:

  • Preliminary utility routing

  • Utility conflict coordination

  • Trench alignment and connection points

  • Utility layout for estimating and planning

Utility sizes and depths are conceptual unless otherwise requested.

*Pricing Factors

Project pricing is based on scope, complexity, and site conditions. As project size and requirements increase, additional effort, coordination, and review time may be required.

Pricing may increase due to:

• Larger site area or multiple parcels
• Complex topography or steep slopes
• Extensive grading or earthwork requirements
• Detailed drainage and stormwater coordination
• Increased ADA compliance requirements
• Multiple buildings or access points
• Utility coordination and conflict resolution
• Additional revision rounds
• Jurisdiction specific standards or review comments

Smaller sites with limited scope typically require less coordination and review time, while larger or more complex sites involve additional analysis and design effort.

Final pricing is confirmed after reviewing available site data, project requirements, and desired level of detail.
