We offer drafting service in the most current versions of AutoCad Civil and Architecture, Revit and Microstation. Whether you are a builder needing floor plans drawn or an architect with a swamped drafting department we can provide accurate drafting services for your project. Our 3D modeling software makes your 2D plans come to life! We have the drafting know-how to turn your hand sketched concepts into professional drawings.

A2Z Engineering offers full service subdivision design. Our staff is dedicated to working with planning authorities, the MDEQ, developers and surveyors in the design of practical subdivisions. Whether it is a five lot minor subdivision or the design of a multi-phase community, we have the expertise needed to see your development dreams to reality. We provide design work for public water systems, storm water runoff systems, community wastewater systems, transportation networks and individual septic and well location.

From land use planning to final plat approval, we have the experience to find solutions to the most challenging topographic and geological conditions. It is our belief that the easiest way through the planning process is by encouraging involvement and input from local planning officials. We have built a reputation for community designs that meet the needs of the developers while still incorporating the wishes of local officials and landowners.

A key component in the major subdivision approval process is professional representation in the public hearings. We have an experienced public speaker on staff who has lectured courses at a major university and will assure your proposed development is represented in a clear and concise manner in the critical approval meetings.

Structural design has been the main area of practice for the 23 years A2Z Engineering has been doing business. Our staff has a combined 61 years of experience in structural design. No conceptual structure is too complicated for our design staff. We have the necessary experience to meet your design needs for office buildings, commercial buildings, residential, luxury homes, large churches, multi-million dollar condo projects, high-rise office buildings and high-voltage transmission towers.

No project is too big or too small. With the State of Montana's adoption of the International Building Code, the complexity of the analysis required to design code compliant buildings has greatly increased. Our staff is trained in the latest wind and seismic requirements and is experienced in working with contractors to smoothly incorporate lateral force resistive systems into building construction. We understand the importance of being flexible in our designs to insure constructability, and are willing to listen to builder concerns and take measures to minimize them where possible.

The cost for structural engineering and drafting is normally less than one percent of the total project cost, and the addition of a lateral force resisting system to a building typically increases framing costs by less than five percent. Having your project reviewed by a structural engineer is the smart, cost-effective way to provide for a long service life and safe occupancy of your completed project.

Providing clean, potable water is a fundamental design issue in rural development. Our water system design services include multiple user water systems, public water systems, and the creation of shared well agreement utilizing single well locations. We have designed systems to service projects ranging from school facilities to major subdivisions.

Locating a suitable septic site and designing a system to match it can be a challenging task. Our staff has the experience needed to get septic approval in even the most difficult locations. We have successfully used technological innovations in combination with level 2 treatment systems to get septic approval and treatment on sites that appeared to be ineligible for drainfield use. From initial site evaluation to final system design and approval, we will insure that your new construction has a reliable wastewater treatment system.

A major concern of any development is whether it will handle heavy rains without flooding and creating large puddles. We are skilled at designing stormwater runoff systems that are able to collect and if necessary retain water generated by large rainfall events. By employing innovative methods of storing stormwater runoff, our designs can avoid unsightly ponds and the associated loss of developable land.

Our system of streets, signs, traffic signals and highways is an invaluable part of the local and nationwide culture. Application of good engineering practice and innovation are necessary more than ever to make the system function at its full potential for a reasonable cost. A2Z Engineering can offer a full range of studies and solutions to meet your needs.

Large commercial and residential developments are coming under increasing pressure in the Flathead Valley to mitigate impact upon the transportation system. The key is to work closely with local and state officials to develop solutions that meet their requirements and hold down your costs. Let A2Z Engineering work to make your project cost effective.
