Water Resources Engineer

~ Having practiced design-build for more than 30 years, we can attest to the difference it makes for our clients and the success of their projects. ~

Ecosystems are dynamic, living, breathing systems that require finesse, adaptability, and a hands-on approach to ensure their full success. We have found that working with living systems and creating green infrastructure requires design and construction methods unlike that of conventional projects. It requires a process that is grounded in science, embraces uncertainty and evolves through continuous learning.

At Biohabitats we have built our design-build practice to not only embrace this approach, but to ensure that our clients' goals are achieved in a cost effective and timely manner.
