At Civil 1, our site design services form the backbone of successful land development.

What Is Site Design?
Site design is the detailed planning and layout of land to support development. It includes the strategic placement of buildings, driveways, parking areas, utilities, drainage systems, landscaping, and other features required for a site to be usable and code-compliant. At Civil 1, we integrate engineering expertise with a deep understanding of land use regulations to design safe, accessible, and sustainable sites that meet the needs of both users and jurisdictions.
Why Quality Site Design Matters
Effective site design isn’t just about meeting minimum standards—it’s about anticipating challenges and creating long-term value. Whether you're working on a commercial plaza, a residential subdivision, or an industrial facility, our thoughtful designs help streamline construction, reduce permitting delays, and improve site usability. Developers across Woodbury, CT and the Northeast rely on Civil 1 for designs that are cost-effective, well-coordinated, and ready for approval. Strong communication and a proactive approach are what set us apart—and keep projects moving forward.
Our Site Design Process
Every project begins with a collaborative discovery phase to understand your goals, the site constraints, and jurisdictional requirements. We then perform a detailed site assessment, evaluating topography, zoning, stormwater management, and utility access. Using this information, our team prepares a complete site design package that balances your needs with environmental, safety, and code considerations. Throughout the process, we coordinate closely with planners, architects, and regulatory agencies to ensure a smooth path from concept through construction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is site design different from a survey or feasibility study?
A site design builds on information from surveys and feasibility studies to create a functional, buildable layout. While surveys map existing conditions and feasibility studies assess site potential, site design lays out the actual plan for construction and use.
Can you help navigate local zoning and permitting during the site design process?
Yes. Our team has strong relationships with local planning and zoning departments across Connecticut and the Northeast. We design with permitting in mind, helping streamline the review process and reduce revisions.
What types of projects do you design sites for?
We design sites for commercial buildings, residential subdivisions, municipal facilities, industrial parks, and mixed-use developments. Our team is experienced with projects of all sizes and complexity.
How do I get started with Civil 1’s site design services?
Getting started is simple—reach out to us with your project details. We’ll schedule an initial consultation to understand your goals, evaluate the site, and develop a customized design plan that fits your timeline and budget.
