Kier & Wright provides exactly that — with decades of experience offering full-scope civil engineering, land surveying, and strategic consulting services. From Southern California to Central Texas, we deliver integrated project support tailored to each city’s unique topography, regulations, and growth objectives.
High-Impact Engineering Services in Growing Cities
Both Escondido and San Marcos are experiencing significant infrastructure and housing expansion. At Kier & Wright, we provide engineering services that adapt to changing city needs while supporting large-scale development across diverse sectors.
Our civil engineering solutions include:
- Site grading and drainage design
- Stormwater and flood mitigation plans
- Roadway and access alignment
- ADA-compliant parking and pedestrian design
- Utility infrastructure layout (wet/dry)
In Escondido, where development occurs near environmentally sensitive areas, we emphasize sustainable site design and erosion control. In San Marcos, our engineering team frequently supports new subdivision layouts and campus-adjacent infrastructure for Texas State University expansions.
Our in-house teams work seamlessly with planners, architects, and contractors to ensure your civil design supports both city requirements and your project’s long-term functionality.
Accurate Site Data from a Trusted Land Surveying Company
As a leading land surveying company, Kier & Wright offers precise field data, mapping, and legal documentation required to move confidently through site planning, permitting, and construction.
Our licensed surveyors deliver:
- Boundary and topographic surveys
- ALTA/NSPS land title surveys
- FEMA elevation certificates and floodplain analysis
- Construction staking and layout
- Easement and right-of-way mapping
In Escondido, our team has supported topographic surveys for hillside communities and civic improvement plans near Highway 78. In San Marcos, we help developers meet local subdivision regulations through accurate platting and staking — especially critical in flood-prone areas adjacent to the San Marcos River.
Using GPS, robotic total stations, and drone-based photogrammetry, we provide fast and accurate deliverables that reduce delays and eliminate guesswork.
Mapping Solutions by Professional Maps Surveyors
Effective land development starts with actionable geospatial data. Our in-house maps surveyors produce detailed mapping products that support entitlement, site planning, and construction decision-making.
We offer:
- Aerial topographic mapping via drone
- 3D terrain and contour models
- Subdivision plat and parcel maps
- Utility and infrastructure overlays
- GIS-compatible datasets
Whether mapping Escondido’s redevelopment corridors or new growth zones in San Marcos, we tailor each map to meet agency formatting standards and coordinate system requirements. Our digital-first workflows also allow for easy updates across project phases.
This level of accuracy and interoperability helps clients, engineers, and municipalities work from the same reliable data — reducing miscommunication and change orders later in the project.
Strategic Planning Support from Top Civil Consultancy Companies
Navigating land use, zoning, and infrastructure regulations can be challenging — especially in fast-growing cities with layered jurisdictions. That’s why Kier & Wright is among the most respected civil consultancy companies serving California and Texas.
Our consultants support:
- Feasibility studies and due diligence
- Permit acquisition and entitlement
- Zoning analysis and land use planning
- Infrastructure phasing and impact mitigation
