Services — LEI Engineers

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering shapes a project from the ground up. Our team approaches that responsibility with creative thinking, close attention to detail, and a commitment to identifying challenges before they become field problems. We collaborate closely with developers, architects, municipalities, and contractors to ensure the design process is transparent, responsive, and aligned with both the client's vision and the realities of construction.

Structural Engineering

Thoroughness during design is the foundation for a smooth, successful construction process, and it is the standard our structural team holds itself to on every project. We work closely with architects and contractors to anticipate constructibility challenges and resolve potential conflicts before they reach the field. Once work transitions to construction, we remain just as committed, treating prompt and substantive responses to contractor questions, RFIs, and field conditions as a core professional obligation. That standard of care carries through every project, regardless of scale or complexity.

Commercial, multifamily, and mixed-use structural design
High-end and custom residential structural design
Podium-style and multi-level building structures
Adaptive reuse and historic building assessment

Land Surveying

Accurate survey data underpins every decision that follows on a project, and we approach it with the precision and care that demands. Our licensed land surveyors and skilled field technicians use conventional, robotic, and GPS technology to deliver reliable results on every project type. We collect our own field data for the projects in our office, meaning our design staff starts with survey information they helped shape and our field crews stake what our engineers designed. That continuity reduces handoff errors and keeps projects moving.

Topographic surveys
Construction staking and layout
Subdivision platting and replatting

Land Planning

The best land planning doesn't just organize a site; it builds the foundation for a thriving community. We take a broad, integrated view of every project, balancing transportation, open space, civic uses, and community character alongside the economic realities that make development viable. That balance, established early and planned thoughtfully, is what allows great places to take root and endure.

Scope of Services

Residential, commercial, and mixed-use site planning
Subdivision design and layout
Village, community, and neighborhood planning
Open space planning and trail connectivity
Zoning applications and conditional use permits
Entitlement processing and governmental coordination
Site feasibility and land use analysis

Impact fee analysis and value engineering
Infrastructure master planning and phasing
Transportation and circulation planning
UDOT, MAG, and agency coordination
Development agreement negotiation support
Construction cost planning and phasing strategy
