In the fast-paced world of architecture and development, projects thrive when communication is clear, coordination is seamless, and every discipline works in harmony. That’s where WT Group’s Civil Engineering practice stands apart. By combining our deep site development expertise with the power of in-house, multidisciplinary engineering teams, WT Group delivers an integrated project experience, one where architects can focus on design while we manage the details behind it all.
WT Group partners with architectural firms across the country who seek a trusted, full-service engineering partner. We know that architects are visionaries that are focused on form, function, and aesthetics, yet too often bogged down by the complexities of permitting, entitlements, and inter-departmental coordination.
Our promise is simple: one point of contact, one cohesive team, one smooth process. When you partner with WT Group, our Civil Engineering team leads the coordination across every internal discipline, from Structural, MEP, Aquatic, Accessibility, to Land Surveying, so you can focus on what you do best. Your WT Group contact oversees schedules, budgets, approvals, and technical collaboration, ensuring your project moves forward without the friction of managing multiple consultants.
When the Lake Hinsdale Village community planned to replace its aging pool, they sought a partner who could bring together every piece of the puzzle, from permitting and civil design to structural, mechanical, and aquatic systems.
WT Group managed the project from start to finish, coordinating all internal engineering disciplines under one umbrella. Todd Abrams, EVP, served as the client’s single point of contact, overseeing entitlements, permitting, design coordination, and budget management.
By keeping all engineering practices in-house, WT Group eliminated the inefficiencies of outsourcing and ensured each phase worked together seamlessly, both technically and financially. The result? A revitalized community amenity delivered with precision, pace, and passion.
“Our WT Group experience was highlighted in our local permitting process, when permit issuance identified our pool area drinking fountain in need of a sanitary drain to comply. Todd coordinated WT Group resources (plumbing, electrical etc.) with our Lake Hinsdale resources to review available drawings, then send their lead plumbing engineer to our property the next business day to physically witness and understand what was possible, and then most efficient. This was accomplished in the cold of January, removing sewer covers and resolving the sanitary drain compliance challenge. WT Group’s responsiveness, team leadership and core knowledge for our sanitary drain saved us weeks of delay, allowing permitting to issue on time, and open our pool to open in 2025." - Mike Houlihan, Lake Hinsdale Village Representative
WT Group’s Civil Engineering practice isn’t just about site design. It’s about managing your project with foresight, accountability, and collaboration. For architectural firms, that means less time chasing consultants and more time bringing your vision to life.
Because when your partner can handle everything behind the scenes, you’re free to focus on the art of design, and that’s when great projects truly take shape.
