We Take Challenging Projects

Commercial Site Design

Our commercial site design services address the specific needs of business properties, from retail centers to industrial facilities. Thompson-Liston engineers work closely with architects, developers, and municipal authorities to develop site plans that maximize traffic flow, parking efficiency, stormwater management, and accessibility while fulfilling all regulatory requirements. Our 130+ years of experience helps us identify and solve potential issues before they affect your development schedule.

Residential Site Design

Thompson-Liston applies the same dedication to residential projects as we do to commercial developments. Our residential site design services include everything from single-family homes to large subdivisions, covering grading, drainage, utilities placement, and access planning. We carefully preserve natural features while creating functional, attractive residential spaces that meet local regulations and boost property values.

Our engineers provide complete septic system design services, including soil testing, system sizing, and compliance documentation. Thompson-Liston creates designs that protect the environment while ensuring system durability, delivering reliable performance and reduced maintenance needs for residential and commercial properties across Massachusetts.
