FAQ

A: Yes. We specialize in reuse permits (irrigation discharge) that can be approved in 6-8 weeks through TCEQ’s permit-by-rule pathway. This strategy works for most residential developments and dramatically accelerates your project timeline, reducing carrying costs and getting you to vertical construction faster.

 

A: We’ve designed wastewater systems for projects ranging from 50-lot subdivisions to 2,000+ home master-planned communities. Our experience spans single-phase developments to multi-year buildouts requiring phased capacity expansion and MUD formation.

 

A: Design fees typically range from $15,000 to $75,000+ depending on project size, complexity, and permitting requirements. We provide transparent fixed-fee proposals after reviewing your site and capacity needs during our free consultation—no surprises, no scope creep.

 

A: Yes. We provide bidding support, contractor coordination, site visits during construction, and startup/commissioning assistance to ensure your system operates correctly from day one and passes final inspection without delays.

 

A: Absolutely. Many developers have us partner with their civil firm—we handle the water/wastewater specialty work while they manage grading, drainage, and roadway design. Seamless coordination keeps your project moving without adding another project manager to your team.

 

A: Yes. We’ve worked with dozens of MUDs across the Houston region and understand the bond funding process, reimbursement agreements, and documentation requirements. We can coordinate directly with your bond counsel and financial advisors to ensure smooth MUD formation.
