Determining which civil engineering services are required is a nuanced process that requires an interpretation of rules from multiple municipalities along with a detailed analysis of the proposed work. This tool is meant to provide a general idea of civil engineering services that may be required and is not a substitute for professional judgement as a result of reviewing all available facts and documentation. It is important to engage the right design professional early on to avoid any confusion or unnecessary delays later in the project. Feel free to send us a message or give a call and we would be happy to discuss your options with you.

Does the proposed project involve subdividing land?

Is the proposed project located in the Town of East Hampton?
Is any part of the proposed project potentially located within 300’ to any wetland?
The following resource may help determine if there may be wetlands nearby however proximity to wetlands should always be verified with the NYSDEC and/or the local municipality’s Natural Resources Department. https://gisservices.dec.ny.gov/gis/erm/
Does the subject property have exceptional topography or any unique site elements that require grading such as walk out basement, subterranean garage, retaining walls, etc.?
Exceptional topography is typically a grade change of more than 5’ across the length of the proposed work.
Will there be an attempt to re-use any existing septic system components?
In rare cases, existing septic components may be certified for reuse. An example might be tying a new pool house septic into the main house whose septic system was recently installed with a capacity that meets or exceeds current Health Department requirements.
