Our Practice

LPD Engineering’s practice is based on establishing relationships through delivering quality civil engineering designs, facilitating dialogue, and taking a proactive and holistic approach to each project. Whether its during the initial planning or in the depths of the design, LPD guides our clients through design challenges and the regulatory maze unique to each project. Clients and partners of LPD shape our firm by inspiring us to continually reach for new solutions to challenges. Established in 1999 in Seattle, our civil site design practice incorporates stormwater management, erosion control, utilities, grading and paving for both the public and private sectors. Our projects include K-12; higher education; public services; parks and recreation; maintenance facilities; light industrial; single and multi-family residential; and commercial. Applying our civil engineering talents to create quality solutions and designs is the foundation upon which our relationships rest.

Our Approach

Focused on the big picture, our clients count on us for an overarching perspective regarding the project to ensure the site is designed toward today’s users and tomorrow’s future. Establishing trustworthy relationships with governing agencies is critical to smoothly transitioning through every phase of the project. Designing the task at hand while communicating about upcoming steps allows LPD to anticipate and adjust designs to provide the most economical and functional long-term solutions. Collaborating with our clients, partners and staff nurtures our creativity and passion for design. Each project is unique, but by following a similar approach throughout each project, we allow ourselves to best serve our clients. We are problem solvers, going above and beyond to serve our clients.
