Springdale Park
Civil engineering for a 60-unit high-density condo development in Austin — steep topography, tree preservation, and tight site constraints.
The Challenge
The challenge was driven by a combination of extreme density and physical site constraints. The site had limited frontage and access points, making circulation and entry challenging. Steep topography on part of the property complicated grading and earthwork. Tree preservation requirements forced the team to carefully balance environmental compliance with constructibility.
Client:
The Geyser Group

Led public cost participation process, including detailed cost estimates, QMD review, created a 1500-page project manual, and public bidding/RFI coordination
Outcome
Achieved a high-density development (60 units on ~5 acres)
Preserved key trees while resolving access constraints
Established an efficient and coordinated design approach
Maintained project momentum through proactive comment resolution
