CIVIL ENGINEERING
Plog Engineering provides civil site development engineering for land-development projects throughout the Puget Sound region — grading, drainage, stormwater, utilities, and the permitting that goes with them. We take on civil engineering only for properties where we also perform the survey, so the design is built on our own field data and the field work always matches the plans. Every project is managed and completed by the principal engineer.
Plat & Short Plat Engineering
Site engineering for plats and short plats is as much art as science — balancing site constraints, current development regulations, and environmental impacts against your goals for the property. We're selective about the projects we take on, and the ones we accept get the principal's full attention from preliminary design through construction.

Single and Multi-Family Residential
Meeting local site-development requirements keeps getting harder, and the lots being developed keep getting tighter. Close coordination with your architect is key to integrating the site design with the building and the end use of the property. We bring problem-solving, open communication, and a real sense of stewardship to every site.
Seattle SDOT & SDCI Projects
Building in Seattle means working through the city's own review process — SDCI (formerly DPD) for site and building permits, and SDOT for any work in the public right-of-way. We're familiar with Seattle's specific submittal standards, drainage and Environmentally Critical Areas (ECA) requirements, and right-of-way use and improvement permits, and we help homeowners, architects, and small developers move projects through with plans that meet the city's standards the first time.
Commercial Site Engineering
When a commercial or mixed-use project needs civil site engineering, we bring the same hands-on approach our private clients rely on — grading and drainage design, stormwater management, utility coordination, and access design, along with the permitting that goes with them. Because the principal engineer manages every project personally, you get direct answers and creative solutions on tight or complicated sites. As with all of our work, we provide construction-phase engineering and construction staking only for projects we have surveyed and designed, so the field work always matches the plans.
Utilities & Construction Support
Our civil work includes water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage design, plus the construction-phase engineering and staking to build it — all from the same information the plans were built on.
