At OAL Engineering, we provide professionally designed Grading Plans that are essential for ensuring proper site drainage, building stability, and compliance with municipal development standards. A grading plan illustrates how the ground will be shaped around buildings, driveways, walkways, and landscaped areas to direct water safely away from structures and toward approved drainage points. Whether you're building a new home, adding an extension, or redeveloping a lot, a grading plan is a critical component of your permit application and construction process.

Our team evaluates your site’s natural contours and elevation data to create a design that promotes positive drainage, prevents water pooling, and minimizes erosion. We consider local zoning requirements, site access, adjacent properties, and overall drainage strategy to produce plans that meet engineering and municipal expectations.

A complete grading plan from OAL Engineering includes:

• Existing and proposed elevations for key site features (e.g., foundations, driveways, swales)
• Direction of surface water flow and drainage paths
• Property lines, building setbacks, and right-of-way information
• Proposed grading slopes and benchmarks
• Integration with stormwater management and servicing plans where applicable

We coordinate closely with surveyors, architects, and city planning departments to ensure a seamless permitting process. Each plan is carefully reviewed to comply with local bylaws, subdivision grading requirements, and conservation authority guidelines.

Whether your project is a single-family home, multi-unit development, or commercial build, we deliver grading plans that are precise, practical, and approved on time. With OAL Engineering, you gain a partner committed to protecting your investment and ensuring that your site functions efficiently from the ground up.
