Choosing Kimley-Horn means partnering with a passionate, experienced team that understands how to balance your vision with real-world constraints. Our diverse staff of planners, engineers, landscape architects, and scientists has a long history of collaborating with communities and businesses nationwide to create imaginative, implementable plans.
We know local, state, and federal permitting inside and out. Our regulatory relationships and understanding of ordinances help us navigate everything—zoning, development codes, third-party approvals, USACE permits, NEPA clearances, water/wastewater districts, and environmental requirements—while keeping your vision intact throughout the permitting process.
Our approach goes beyond traditional traffic studies to create mobility strategies that balance all modes of transportation. By integrating public engagement, mobility indexing tools, and mode-specific plans for bikes, pedestrians, transit, and vehicles, we ensure transportation strategies align with community goals and support long-term success.
We assess what’s on your site by looking at everything from rezoning potential and road network access to floodplains, environmental constraints, endangered species, contamination, easements, and stormwater capacity. We’ll identify permits, impact fees, and regulatory requirements early. With our specialized skillsets and local knowledge, we uncover hidden obstacles so you can understand exactly what you’re dealing with before moving ahead.
We evaluate whether site conditions support what you want to build, examining how development costs, timelines, and regulatory requirements may impact your project. If needed, we compare multiple parcels to identify which property best meets your objectives while maximizing value.
We have a wealth of experience supporting project teams—including engineers, architects, construction partners, and client stakeholders—with precise data and comprehensive data collection. Using both conventional and emerging technology, our expertise includes ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys, subdivision platting, topographic and site development surveys, right-of-way mapping, FEMA flood certificates, easement dedication, and more.
Beyond surveying, we also offer comprehensive real estate and right-of-way consulting services. We review property conditions, check title requirements and liens, handle right-of-way design, and manage negotiations from initial assessments through final purchases. Whether we’re working alongside your existing brokers or providing full in-house support, we adapt to your needs to keep acquisitions moving smoothly.
