Commercial & Residential Site Plans

"Every Profession has a Conspiracy against the Laity." George Bernard Shaw

I began my career as a Surveyor in the USAF. After studying hard, I passed the Licensing exams to obtain a professional license and opened a small business from scratch. After 20 years in that work, I decided to step out and specialize in Civil & Architectural Design. I have always been a bit of a software Nerd and having hands-on, field construction experience has complimented my approach to designing "buildable" plans. Now I'm building A.I. Agents for Engineers & Surveyors workflows.

My experience ranges from Field Engineer for D.O.T. Highway projects, 5-mile-long steel seawall on Atlantic Coast; Professional Land Surveyor; Sr. Civil Designer on $300 million dollar power plant; Residential & Commercial Construction Management, Design, Site Plans, Grading Plans, Wetlands Mapping and Building Designs. My drive for excellence, continuing quest to "do-it-better" made me an "uncomfortable fit" in the confines of stagnant employments. I created 4 Aces Design to showcase a better way of getting the job done. 

The "Conspiracy" with many Licensed Engineering Firms I've personally witnessed is: They didn't actually submit a 100% complete plan set for your permit and they know it. Now when the comments come back from the Agencies, with pages of "revisions", they come to you the client and say: "Can you believe what the planning department i.e. is making us do?" so thereby more hourly billing to finish what they should have done before but you're now paying extra. So that great price you think you got really isn't a year later still waiting for permit approval.
