Civil Engineer in Navasota, TX
Between Grimes County growth and tightening stormwater rules, Navasota owners can no longer assume a site will simply pass review. We prepare civil plans the way City of Navasota Planning Department reviewers expect to receive them: complete, sealed, and site-specific. Reviews run through City of Navasota Planning Department, so the civil package is prepared to that authority's current checklist. The result is a civil submittal Navasota owners can move forward with, stage by stage.
