The firm brings multiple design disciplines together to help clients evaluate properties, plan site layouts, coordinate infrastructure, and prepare construction-related documents. Its service approach emphasizes communication with clients and contractors, realistic project timelines, attention to design details, and consideration of development costs.

Day Design Group, Inc. offers services throughout Georgia and works on projects that require coordination between site engineering, landscape design, drainage, utilities, and land planning.

Civil Engineering and Site Design

Civil engineering plays an important role in preparing land for development. A successful site design must account for grading, drainage, road access, water and sewer infrastructure, and other requirements that influence how a property can be developed and used.

Day Design Group provides civil engineering design services for projects of different sizes and scopes. Its published services include road design, stormwater management, water layout and design, sewer and septic design, hydrology and water quality reports, grading design, and erosion control.

These services can help developers and property owners address technical site requirements before construction begins. Coordinating these elements during the design phase can also help identify potential issues and reduce the risk of avoidable changes later in the project.

The firm emphasizes clear engineering documents and value engineering. Its multidisciplinary approach is intended to support design quality while keeping the client’s development objectives and costs in view.

Site Planning and Property Analysis

Site planning helps determine how buildings, roads, parking, landscape areas, utilities, and other features can fit together on a property. Before committing to a development plan, owners may need to understand the land’s characteristics, infrastructure availability, environmental factors, and jurisdictional requirements.

Day Design Group offers site layout and design, site analysis, concept plans, zoning exhibits, and three-dimensional models. These services can support early decisions about the feasibility and organization of a proposed development.

The firm’s site analysis process considers factors that may influence development, including access to necessary infrastructure, local jurisdictional issues, environmental conditions, and preliminary construction quantities. This information can help clients assess development options and make more informed planning decisions.

After the initial site analysis, the company can also assist with rezoning processes and prepare presentation materials, as described on its official website.

Landscape Architecture and Planting Design

Landscape architecture helps integrate a development with its surrounding environment. It can include planting plans, hardscape design, irrigation layouts, and the placement of landscape features that improve the function and appearance of a property.

Day Design Group’s landscape architecture services include planting design, hardscape design, irrigation design, and tree protection and replacement. The firm aims to coordinate landscape elements with the broader site design so that outdoor spaces support the project’s intended use.

Landscape design can also influence pedestrian movement, vehicle circulation, drainage solutions, and the relationship between developed areas and existing natural features. By considering these elements together, a project team can work toward a site that is functional, accessible, and visually cohesive.

The appropriate landscape solution depends on the property’s conditions, project requirements, applicable regulations, and the client’s goals.

Stormwater Management, Grading, and Erosion Control

Managing water across a development site is a major consideration in civil engineering. New buildings, paved surfaces, and changes to the land can affect how rainfall moves through a property and where runoff is directed.

Day Design Group offers stormwater management, hydrology and water quality reporting, grading design, and erosion control services. These services help address site drainage and water-related considerations during planning and design.

Grading and drainage must be coordinated with proposed buildings, access roads, parking areas, utilities, and landscape features. Erosion control planning is also important when construction activities disturb soil.

The firm prepares engineering documentation to support the development process. Specific drainage calculations, erosion-control measures, reports, and approvals depend on site conditions and the requirements of the relevant jurisdiction.

Water, Sewer, and Septic Design

Water and wastewater infrastructure is essential for many residential and commercial developments. Depending on a property’s location and intended use, a project may require water system layouts, sewer connections, or an onsite septic solution.

Day Design Group lists water layout and design, sewer design, and septic design among its civil engineering services. These capabilities support the planning of infrastructure needed to serve proposed buildings and development areas.

Utility planning should be coordinated with site grading, access, drainage, and building locations. Early evaluation can help identify infrastructure needs and constraints before the project moves into detailed construction planning.

The specific system and documentation required will depend on the property’s location, utility availability, site conditions, and applicable regulatory requirements.

Residential Communities and Master-Planned Developments

Residential development projects often require coordinated planning for individual lots, internal roads, utilities, drainage, and shared amenities. Larger communities may also need master planning to organize development phases and establish a consistent layout.

Day Design Group’s published project portfolio includes single-family subdivisions, master-planned communities, apartments, townhomes, condominiums, golf course communities, clubhouses, parks, and amenity areas.

Representative projects include Lexington Park in Fulton County, River Rock in Forsyth County, Orchard at Mill Creek in Gwinnett County, and Traditions of Braselton in Jackson County. The portfolio illustrates the firm’s involvement in residential layouts and community planning.

For developers, integrated site planning and engineering can help align lot layouts, infrastructure, drainage, circulation, and shared spaces with the objectives of the overall development.

Commercial and Industrial Development

Commercial and industrial properties have different planning requirements depending on their use, size, access needs, parking, infrastructure, and building configuration. Projects may include offices, restaurants, warehouses, self-storage facilities, retail developments, and manufacturing buildings.

Day Design Group’s project portfolio includes commercial developments such as Prime Ventures in Newnan and Apalachee Self Storage in Barrow County. Its industrial portfolio also features projects such as Wahoo Industrial Tract and Integrity Fusion in Peachtree City.

These project types require coordination between site layout, road access, grading, utilities, stormwater management, and construction documentation. A well-developed site plan can help project teams understand how these elements work together and identify potential constraints before construction.

The company’s multidisciplinary services provide a basis for coordinating site design and landscape considerations across different development types.

Construction Documentation and Project Coordination

Clear construction documents help communicate design requirements to contractors and other project participants. They can include engineering drawings, grading information, drainage plans, utility layouts, and landscape documentation appropriate to the project’s scope.

Day Design Group highlights the importance of meeting with clients and contractors at the property to identify potential problems before design and construction. The firm also emphasizes incorporating client and contractor input before design elements are finalized.

Its published company information describes staff experience in surveying and construction administration. This experience can help inform the preparation and coordination of development documents.

Project timelines, deliverables, and construction-related responsibilities should be agreed upon for each engagement. The exact scope depends on the project and the services requested by the client.
