Innovative solutions. Immediate response. In-house expertise.
Simmons & White, Inc. has been the leader in due diligence & entitlement services, civil engineering & land development consulting, and traffic engineering & transportation planning services throughout Florida and the southeastern United States since 1982.
Focus and History
With complete client focus, unparalleled professionalism, and a commitment to delivering quality projects on time and on budget, we have cultivated strong working relationships within the design, construction, and infrastructure industries.
Our vast project history in both the public and private sectors provides a core foundation for analytical forward thinking and effective problem solving, making us the trusted source for comprehensive engineering services for over 40 years.
What We Do
Our professional engineers and project managers work directly with developers, architects, land planners, contractors, and state and local government agencies, giving our team a unique, well-rounded perspective for critical thinking and problem-solving while staying on schedule and within budget.
Due Diligence & Entitlement Services
Moving projects efficiently from concept to construction.
We have guided clients through the project development process for over four decades, initiating our efforts well before the groundbreaking. Upon site selection, we obtain historical property documents, analyze existing conditions and characteristics, complete a risk assessment, and clearly define the development criteria for a successful project.
Our comprehensive due diligence and entitlement reports may include, but are not limited to:
General Site Data
Size, existing structures, soil conditions, civil drawings, topographical surveys, surrounding streets and developments, topographical layouts for potential building locations, ingress/egress, easements, setbacks, Right-of-Way requirements, deed restrictions and restrictive covenants.
Utilities
Existing services available such as water, sewer, drainage, stormwater systems, electric, phone, cable, and natural gas.
Development Requirements
Applicable codes for general building and fire regulations, zoning and permitting approval processes including timeframes and costs for submissions, drainage and grading considerations, parking calculations to ensure proper spaces are provided, and permitted signage and landscaping.
Engineer’s Estimates
Time requirements to complete the site plan, architectural and engineering review, and the design and production of construction documents.
Partnering with the development team, we bring our unique local insight, industry network, skilled perspective, and inherent knowledge of the latest procedures to expedite the regulatory approval process. In addition, our established relationships with municipal, county and state governing agencies allow us to quickly and effectively problem solve as challenges arise throughout the life of a project.
Civil Engineering & Land Development
Protecting the project return on investment from concept to ribbon cutting.
Our firm’s history is directly connected to the growth and development of the sunshine state, and we recognize the demand for construction and infrastructure improvements is at an all-time high. Our combined experience and valuable industry partnerships allow us to fast track commercial and residential construction projects and quickly accommodate any requests.
As the trusted source for civil engineering and land development services, we have established long lasting working relationships with clients, governmental agencies, and project partners, while expanding our team and portfolio each year.
For each project, whether public, private, large, or small, we tailor a specific approach from start to finish to best suit our client’s individual needs.
Design Services
Utility system and roadway designs, site development, master planning, shop drawing review, civil construction plan preparation including conceptual paving, drainage, water, and sewer plans for submittal to governmental agencies, permitting process schedule and preliminary estimate of fees and approval timeframes to avoid delays, and preliminary cost estimates of site development including earthwork, grading, paving, drainage, water and sewer.
Construction Coordination
Contract administration, value engineering, comprehensive plan review and revisions, coordination of platting and surveying, site observations, project certifications, managing permit approvals including water, sewer, drainage, and on- and off-site paving, and scheduling/attending team meetings with governmental agencies and public officials.
Our dynamic engineering team is ready to bring your next concept to reality utilizing our effective and efficient project coordination experience, derived from thousands of successful projects.
Traffic Engineering & Transportation Planning
Minimizing impacts while maximizing the safety and mobility of all modes of transit.
Through our comprehensive studies, creative approach, and modern designs, our transportation management solutions allow rapidly expanding communities to meet the demands of development. From identifying and addressing challenges on existing roadways to designing traffic layouts for new developments, our proven methodologies create cost effective options for any project.
While a common goal is to reduce travel time and congestion, we know it’s even more important to arrive safely at your destination. Encompassing all users from motorist to pedestrian, our corridor and feasibility studies provide a 360-degree view of current conditions and future demands. This includes key factors such as intersection efficiency, Right-of-Way conditions, property access and egress, and traffic volumes at peak and off-peak timeframes.
Designs
Intersection improvements and street cross-sections for optimal mobility and safety, signalization to optimize timing and improve traffic flow, garage layouts to increase capacity, signing, pavement marking, delineation, lighting, utilities, and streetscape enhancement programs.
Studies
Impacts from new developments, operational and capacity analysis for increasing traffic volumes and modified traffic and pedestrian patterns, traffic management, and the developments of regional impact (DRI) that reduce the infrastructure improvement.
Whether working directly with transportation agencies and stakeholders or partnering with our civil engineering division, we’ll identify areas for improvement, design the solutions, and support the construction team to make a positive impact and safer environment for our communities.
