Site preparation & support
Many projects need approvals and plans before the first shovel hits the ground. G & D Construction helps coordinate permits and engineering so your project starts on time and is built to code.
Permit and engineering requirements depend on the project, its location and the work involved. A new driveway apron, a foundation, a retaining wall or a home addition may each need different drawings, applications and approvals before construction can begin.
G & D Construction handles the planning side of the work for projects in Lanham, across Prince George's County and in Washington, D.C. We review your project scope, identify what the permit office will need, and coordinate the drawings, certifications and paperwork, so the plans that get approved match the work we build.

Structural, addition and right-of-way work in Maryland and Washington, D.C. often requires a permit before construction begins. We prepare and submit applications, track approvals and schedule inspections so your project keeps moving forward.
Clear drawings turn your idea into a plan that permit offices, inspectors and builders can follow. We provide architectural drawings and designs showing layout, dimensions and how the new work fits your property.
Foundations, retaining walls, additions and load-bearing work often need stamped structural drawings before a permit is issued. We coordinate structural drawings and certifications so your project is designed to carry its loads safely.
Work near a public road or sidewalk may need an approved traffic control plan to keep drivers, pedestrians and crews safe. We prepare these plans and also offer notary services for permit paperwork.
Our process
We start with what you want built, where it will go, and how the concrete work relates to the rest of the project. This establishes the scope that the permit and drawing requirements must support.
The project is reviewed for the drawings, dimensions, site details, and other paperwork needed to describe the work clearly. If engineering input is needed, that requirement is identified as part of the planning.
The construction scope and supporting documents are organized so the proposed work is described consistently. This may include concrete layouts, structural details, or information about related site work.
Once the planning information is in place, the work can be scheduled around the documented scope. Questions or changes are addressed before they become field problems.
Scope
Permit and engineering support is quoted after the project scope, documentation needs, and required coordination are reviewed.
Request serviceNo. Requirements depend on the type of work and where the property is located. A simple patio may not need one, while additions, foundations, retaining walls and driveway aprons that meet a public road often do. We'll check before work is scheduled.
Tell us the type of work, the property address and the rough size of the project. Existing plans, a property survey or photos of the area also help us work out which drawings and approvals the project will need.
Not always. Structural work such as foundations, taller retaining walls and additions usually needs stamped drawings, while most flatwork does not. We identify what's required during the project review and coordinate the drawings only when your project needs them.
No. Starting permitted work early can lead to fines, stop-work orders or having to tear out finished work. We confirm all required approvals before construction is scheduled, so the work on site matches what was approved.

The work was done in a timely manner. My only concern was the placement of some of the equipment on my lawn killed some of the grass.
