Getting through the process of permitting engineering and surveying projects can be a lot to handle. It takes planning, persistence, and an understanding of local regulations. At Davis Engineering and Surveying (DES), we’re here to make sure your civil engineering and surveying documents are prepared, submitted, and approved smoothly—so you can keep your project moving forward.  We have strong relationships with local, county, and state agencies, which helps ease the review process and makes communication smoother for everyone.

What Are Submittal and Project Support Services?

Submittal and project support services are all about working closely with you and reviewing agencies to prepare, review, and submit essential plans and supporting documents, ultimately setting your project on a path to approval and permitting. We partner with you to monitor and streamline the submittal process, coordinate responses, and communicate with city, county, and/or state agencies to ensure submittal requirements are met.

Why is Submittal Important?

Whether you’re working on a residential, commercial, or industrial site development project, submittal is a critical first step in obtaining your land disturbance and/or building permit. For survey projects where lot lines are adjusted, submittal to the county or city is essential. No lot line modifications can be finalized without 1) submitting proposed changes to the municipality for review and approval and 2) submitting the approved plat to the Clerk of Court for recording. Both of these steps ensure that the proposed lot modifications meet current standards and clearly define boundary lines for future land transactions.

Our submittal services are collaborative and our communication is clear. From day one, we’re by your side to figure out submission deadlines, requirements, and potential regulatory hurdles, keeping you in the loop every step of the way.
