Engineering for Residential Site Development
While most new development projects revolve around the contributions of the engineering team, residential site development takes that concept to the next level. An experienced civil engineering team is often the thread that ties all the project disciplines together. At Snyder & Associates, our professional engineers know how to apply their in-depth knowledge of project goals and variables to keep all stakeholders on track. They become the go-to experts that provide coordination between contractors, private entities, public agencies, and end-users.
In the world of residential development, housing trends, interest rates, and consumer preferences are uncontrollable factors. This means it’s critically important that our team determines the feasibility of a residential development project right from the start and assesses the land to ensure that it can support the planned development. Using technology to enhance our design and implementation efforts, we save valuable resources for our clients — regularly increasing their return on investment.
Whether our team is designing a new subdivision, renovating an existing neighborhood, or developing plans for a multi-family, mixed-use facility, we offer services that add value to projects from infrastructure design and construction observation to earthwork analysis and stormwater management. Guided by a well-honed playbook of solid fundamentals, we transform the land into real projects — achieving the perfect fit between physical site conditions, public expectations, fiscal requirements, and environmental constraints.

Kettlestone Development Provides Master Plan for Growth
The explosive growth of the Waukee community over the last decade has led to increased pressure for new housing options and retail space to keep up with the skyrocketing demand. To meet this need, civic leaders oversaw the creation of a massive new multi-use development area known as Kettlestone. Stretching from Interstate 80 in the south to University Avenue on the north side, Kettlestone is a 1,500-acre development with room for residential, retail, and office space, all connected by miles of new trails and open green space.
