What is an Engineered Site Plan?

A site plan shows how your property will be developed. It includes grading, drainage, stormwater, utilities, and building placement. Local reviewers in Cottonwood Heights use it to confirm compliance with zoning, flood, stormwater, and utility requirements before issuing a construction permit.

At Anderson Engineering, we create plans that reviewers can approve quickly so that you can focus on what matters most: building.
