Lana Bayless Email & Phone Number

I'm an experienced Civil Engineer who has focused on site planning for various projects throughout my career. I enjoy solving challenging complex puzzles to ensure buildings are situated within the environment and operate safely and efficiently for my Owners. Nothing is more exciting than getting a grading plan for a 70-acre site to balance cut-and-fill! My primary engineering skills include site feasibility studies; site design including layout, grading, stormwater management and utilities; sustainability strategies; and coordination with public utilities and jurisdictions.
