Civil Design Specialist and AutoCAD Civil 3D Drafter Florida PE Ready Sets
About this Gig
Are you looking for a clean, precise, and compliant grading and drainage plan that is ready for your licensed Florida PE to seal?
Local Florida municipalities, the FDEP, and regional Water Management Districts (SFWMD, SWFWMD, SJRWMD) strictly require detailed stormwater management and grading documentation before issuing site permits. I provide expert civil drafting using AutoCAD Civil 3D to create clean, properly layered, and code-compliant grading and drainage packages.
What This Gig Covers:
- Civil 3D surface modeling and spot elevations
- Proposed grading contours and drainage flow arrows
- Retention pond, swale, and exfiltration trench geometry
- Grading cross-sections and drainage basin maps
- Standard civil details and specification sheets

FAQ
Does this gig include a formal Florida Professional Engineer (PE) seal?
Yes. Unlike basic drafting gigs, I handle the full scope. I provide the complete technical grading layout, the necessary drainage calculations, the formal narrative stormwater report, and the final licensed Florida PE seal required by municipalities and water management districts.
What files and information do I need to provide to get started?
To begin, I will need your existing AutoCAD site plan base file (.DWG) or a clean PDF layout, the boundary survey with existing topographic elevation contours, any available geotechnical/soil reports, and the specific project location or address so I can pull the correct regional Water Management Di
Do you provide the stormwater management report along with the drawings?
Yes. A compliant Florida drainage submittal requires both visual drawings and a formal written report detailing calculations like pre- vs. post-development runoff, retention volumes, and stage-storage data. I write the complete formal drainage narrative report alongside the drafted plan sheets.
Will these plans comply with my local Florida county and water district?
Yes, 100%. All designs, calculations, and sheets are custom-tailored to comply directly with the Florida Building Code, local municipal codes, and your specific regional district rules (SFWMD, SWFWMD, or SJRWMD).
What happens if the city or county requests revisions during the permit review?
Permit reviews occasionally come back with minor comments or clarification requests from the plan reviewer. I provide technical support through your permitting cycle to update the drafting or calculations to meet the city's exact requests.
