What to Look for in an Engineering Firm

Choosing an engineer affects how fast plans get approved, how many review cycles you face and what the project costs to build.

A good fit knows the local rules, designs for the site’s real conditions and keeps you informed along the way.

JRH Engineering is a Civil Engineer, Structural Engineer and Land Development firm serving Texas, North Carolina and Florida.

JRH guiding principles are: Engineering Excellence. Delivered on Time. Built on Value.

Engineering Excellence: Designs That Fit the Site

Each state brings different conditions:

• Texas: expansive clays, floodplains and detention pond requirements that vary by city, county and drainage district

  
  

• North Carolina: slopes, frost depth and erosion control plans for sites over 1 acre under G.S. 113A-57

  
  

• Florida: hurricane wind, high water tables and Environmental Resource Permits issued by FDEP or a water management district

  
  

Plans that account for these conditions up front are less likely to come back with review comments.

Delivered on Time: Fewer Review Cycles

• Confirm the jurisdiction, floodplain status and drainage outfall before design starts

  
  

• Coordinate city, county, drainage district and state road requirements in one plan set

  
  

• Submit complete packages and answer review comments quickly

  
  

Built on Value: Smart Use of Land

Every acre given to a detention pond or a long utility extension is an acre that is not earning money.

Thoughtful layout, grading and drainage design can protect usable area and limit construction cost.
