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.

Subsurface Utility Engineering

Subsurface utility engineering focuses on the accurate designation and location of existing underground utilities that prevent project surprises that could delay your project completion. Our Surveying + Mapping team properly identifies phone lines, gas and water mains, fiber optic lines, and more to ensure the safety of your community and project site.

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 the communities where we work and live.

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.

Construction Services

Our experienced construction administration and construction engineering inspection (CEI) professionals will guide you through the development process from construction to completion — focusing on details so you won’t have to.
