Why Beals and Thomas?

Thoughtful site design and cost-effective civil engineering create the framework for any
successful development. Our engineers apply effective and practical design solutions at the
onset, ensuring that engineering solutions are integrated with all aspects of the project. We
provide creative problem solving, conceptual and final design, computer-aided design and
drafting, calculations, project management services and plan processing through agency
approvals.

​

Accurate collection and presentation of survey data is critical to a project’s development and
success. We understand that efficient data gathering, coupled with effective communication, is
crucial when working with clients, design professionals, and permitting authorities to complete
project goals on time and within budget.

The visual quality of a project can evoke strong reactions from potential investors, tenants,
customers, and regulatory officials. For a project to be successful, it must meet economic goals
and achieve the functional and aesthetic goals of the client. Our landscape architects are
rational and creative as they balance aesthetics, design efficiency, and construction costs to
produce projects that are economical, marketable, and visually pleasing.

​

Increasingly stringent environmental legislation requires integrated professional services that
balance client goals with environmental considerations. Our staff has extensive knowledge of
environmental regulations and maintains mutually cooperative working relationships with
regulatory agency professionals throughout our practice areas.

We strive to ensure that our projects meet sound wetland science and regulation, whether it is
establishing tidal regimes to inform salt marsh creation design, or reviewing project designs to
suggest ways to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts, while confirming compliance with
performance standards.
