The Architect, Civil Engineer & The Land Surveyor: How They Can Work Together During the Design Phase of a Project (1 LU Pending)
Civil Engineering and Land Surveying are two key components of many successful architectural and urban planning projects. Strategic implementation of these services can significantly improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of a design. This presentation will describe several key Civil Engineering and Land Surveying design strategies on how to utilize their services to the architect’s advantage.
This presentation will focus on definitions of key Civil Engineering and Land Surveying concepts that are often required for successful development projects. Architects are very often the “prime consultant” for a project. They are responsible for coordinating and/or retaining Civil Engineering and Land Surveying services for the project developer.
The presentation will concentrate on common civil engineering and land surveying issues that can create problems for the Architect if not adequately understood and implemented into the project at the appropriate time.
In the Civil Engineering section, we will discuss utility and storm water treatment/control issues that can be problematic to the Architect.
In my 30 years of experience, I have found that there is often a great deal of confusion regarding the different types of surveys. Therefore, in the Land Surveying section, we will provide information and samples of the different types of surveys that may be required for different types of projects.
