Planning & Entitlement Services

planning and entitlement

Our team at EES will work with you to make your vision a reality, but we also fully understand the constraints to getting projects approved. We have extensive relationships and experience working with municipal agencies, architects, contractors, developers, and private-sector clients. By identifying critical success and failure factors during the due diligence phase, we do everything possible to help an owner-buyer understand project risks up front and help them determine as soon as possible whether their proposed project is feasible.

In the design and construction of a project, efficient execution of entitlements can save time and costs and reduce uncertainty. It is our goal to reduce total project costs and identify “big ticket” items early on so the client can plan accordingly and make informed decisions. We are experts at leading the entitlement process and securing the right to develop land with government approvals for zoning, wet and dry utility installations, access locations, occupancy and use permits.

How we can help:

  • Planning Document Coordination and Preparation
  • Development Application Processing including annexations, rezoning, conditional use permits
  • Public Hearing Representation
  • Planning Commission, City Council, other municipal agency presentations
  • Community Engagement – Neighborhood Meetings and Presentations
  • Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) Consultation

“As part of the Fluor/HDR design team, EES provides drainage and erosion control design services. As the design process has progressed, EES’ scope and role has expanded considerably due to their responsiveness and depth of technical capabilities. The firm has the ability to get work done in a timely manner and take on additional responsibilities to meet the challenging schedule. EES is responsive, technically astute and a pleasure to work with!”

“We recently completed a project for the City of Des Moines and partnered with EES. Annette and her team at EES provided excellent customer service and completed their assignments consistently on time and within budget. During the course of the project, the client’s funding agency accelerated the project schedule. Annette immediately responded and we were able to complete our work and meet the new deadline. The commitment to excellent work, meeting deadlines and budgets is why we look forward to working with Annette and EES again the future at Parametrix.”

“Entitlement and Engineering Solutions, Inc. have been a breath of fresh air taking care of us in this fast changing environment we have had to deal with these past few years.  Your insights to our system’s needs, the growth and evolution of the district and the politics of the various entities that have oversight of our operations, is unmatched in our experience.

Not only have you saved us literally tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, your project management expertise and grant writing skills, have been life savers for the district and its residents. There is no way we could have pulled off the improvements that we have in the past few years with any other firm out there that we are aware of.

We cannot recommend your services highly enough to any other District or Municipality that is looking for a water system or any other civil engineering for that matter.”
