HOW LONG IS THE DESIGN PROCESS — los angeles civil engineering consultant

Hi, my name is Don Waite, President of Westland Civil, an engineering and surveying firm with over 30 years experience in land development projects, located under los angeles civil engineering consultant.

One question many people ask

How long do you expect the design process to take?

For Los Angeles civil engineering consultant firms there are many variables to each development and they are dependent on the jurisdiction of the public agencies, and the size and complexity of the proposed development.

For example – is it on a hill side or flat land; are there environmental restrictions – such as endangered animal or plant species, or wetland issues; are there geological soils issues; are there traffic impact issues; and last but not least, any infrastructure issues – such as water supply, roads, drainage and wastewater issues. The Size of project is also a determining factor: Is it a single family residential, a multi-family project or a mixed-use residential, commercial, industrial project, or a large master plan community project?

A smaller project could be designed and approved through the public agency in about 6 months time. Whereas a master plan community could take several years before breaking ground.

That’s why it’s important that your Los Angeles civil engineering consultant firm has long term relationships with the jurisdictions and public agencies involved for these types of projects. At Westland Civil we have extensive experience and knowledge with Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, Santa Barbara and surrounding regions, along with the local agencies and cities. This can help minimize unforeseen site planning and design issues.

Experienced Los Angeles civil engineering consultant firms will generally have an intimate enough understanding of local and regional pitfalls to help you avoid the types of delays and compliactions that can endlessly delay construction, land and development projects. A less experienced firm would only add to the design cost and delays for agency approvals.

Career Option After Doing Civil Engineering

Posted on August 6, 2018 by blogger

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of the physical and naturally built environment, including works like bridges, roads, waterways, dams, ports, railways and buildings. Civil engineering is the oldest engineering discipline after military engineering. Actually it should have been defined as Construction Engineering, but it was termed as Civil Engineering to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering as in the past all the Construction works were undertaken by Military forces in the Europe. So, eventually it became Civil (Non-military) Engineering.
Civil engineers typically possess an academic degree with a major in Civil Engineering. In India, the length of study for such a degree is usually four years and the completed degree is usually designated as a Bachelor of Engineering.
It is traditionally broken into several sub-disciplines including,
1.Environmental Engineering
2.Surveying
3.Geo-technical Engineering
4.Structural Engineering
5.Transportation
6.Town and Urban Planning
7.Water Resources Engineering
8.Construction Engineering
9.Coastal Engineering
10.Building Engineering
11.Construction Management
12.Estimation and Valuation Engineering
There is no one typical career path for civil engineers. Most people who graduate with civil engineering degrees start with jobs that require a low level of responsibility, and as the new engineers prove their competence, they are trusted with tasks that have larger consequences and require a higher level of responsibility. However, within each discipline of civil engineering career path options vary. Though they are known as Civil Engineers in general, they become specialist of particular sub-disciplines after working for some months or years in the same discipline. So, I will choose to call them based on their discipline rather than Civil Engineers, i.e. Environmental Engineers, Surveyors, etc. Civil Engineers have all the above given Career options or discipline to choose from based on their interest.
Interested to Join Software Field?
Software Engineering or IT engineering is not a sub discipline of Civil engineering. With this additional paragraph, I would like to tell those students who wanted to join Computer Science Engineering or Information Technology studies, but are forced to join Civil, Electrical, Chemical or any other engineering by our Merit based admission system. Those students still have very good chances to join software industry if they follow my one “magical suggestion”.
And that is after joining Civil or Electrical or Chemical Engineering; they have 6 semester in the first 3 years of their engineering studies. They are relatively having more free time in the first 3 months of each semester and 18 months in totality. They should undertake some software courses (C, C++, Java, .Net, VB, Databases softwares) during these 18 months, gain expertise. Further, they can consult their elder relatives who are already part of software industry for the courses to be studied so that they can match exact requirement of industry. Remember; develop good analytical skills, problem (not day to day problems but Engineering and Mathematical Problems) solving skills, as no software company differentiates between students of different engineering branches, in fact they will be happy to have some talents who are having knowledge of some core engineering branches as they develop softwares for core applications also.
At the end of your engineering studies and after following my magical suggestion you have two industry options to choose from, where as those CSE or IT engineers have only one, “so cheers”.
