Services

Surveying + Mapping

Land surveyors measure and map just about everything on the land, in the air, or in the ocean -- but at CHW, we like to stick to our Floridian home turf. Our team of land surveyors focus on cost-effective, accurate data collection to help you determine the scope of your project. Our land surveyors provide accurate and fast service for all residential and mortgage surveys in Gainesville, FL, Ocala, FL, and Jacksonville, FL.

Engineering

The roads that carry you to your destination, the foundation on which you stand, and the water that splashes from your faucet are made possible by engineering. Our civil engineering professionals approach each project by analyzing the bigger picture and fine-tuning the smallest details.

Transportation

There’s more to getting from point A to point B than meets the eye. From choosing the asphalt type to forecasting traffic, our transportation engineering team works to provide roads that are convenient, environmentally compatible, and most importantly, safe.

Planning + Design

Land planning shapes the vision of a community, urban design helps bring it to life, and landscape architecture makes it beautiful. Together, our land planning, urban design, and landscape architecture teams enrich our communities in Gainesville, FL, Ocala, FL, and Jacksonville, FL.

Landscape Architecture

The CHW Landscape Architecture Team is a group of creative, passionate professionals that have provided a full range of landscape architectural and design services for almost 50 years. Our versatile team can take on any role and is poised to undertake various design tasks at multiple scales.
