Winter puts the brakes on many types of construction work, especially in Ohio, with its deep, cold winters. However, while you're waiting for spring to come to start your building projects, civil engineers can ensure everything is in place so you can hit the ground running as soon as it thaws. In fact, the services that engineering firms like Abercrombie & Associates, Inc. in Cincinnati provide during the winter can keep your project on schedule all year long.

Design Services

A well-executed project requires detailed planning which can take months—sometimes years. While last-minute adjustments are often necessary, in most cases civil engineers and architects prefer to begin during the winter so they have ample time to anticipate and plan around potential problems before they happen. When construction begins, this careful planning will help you avoid the unexpected problems that can cause expensive and lengthy delays.

Paperwork & Permitting

Many construction projects require filing and preparing extensive reports, especially if you're preparing a new site for construction. A civil engineering firm will not only design the project for you, but will also handle all of the paperwork so your project is ready to go at the earliest opportunity. Construction delays caused by missing reports or paperwork can be extremely frustrating.

Construction and renovation permits also have to be acquired in advance, along with any necessary zoning variances. Many civil engineers maintain close working relationships with county offices so they can ensure that all the required permits are attained before you start working in the spring.
