Civil engineering plays a critical role in the success of development projects. From site design and grading plans to stormwater management and permitting, the engineering process determines how efficiently a project moves from concept to construction. In this video, Mack Engineering explains how the firm was founded and why its approach to civil engineering focuses…
A Major Shift in Georgia Housing Policy Georgia’s House Bill 1166 (HB 1166) represents a significant step toward increasing housing flexibility across the state.

One of the most overlooked decisions in a development project is whether your civil engineer has in-house stormwater engineering. That single choice can determine how coordinated your plans are—and how controlled your…
Civil engineering doesn’t stop at the plan set—and the most costly mistakes often don’t show up until construction is already underway. That’s why hiring a civil engineering firm with real field experience isn’t just a benefit; it’s a necessity. At Mack, our engineers spend time in the field, not just behind a screen. That hands-on experience fundamentally…
In today’s development environment, getting a set of civil plans approved is no longer the finish line—it’s the starting point. The real value comes from having the right plan, designed by engineers who understand not only codes and calculations, but how those decisions translate into real-world costs, constructability, and long-term performance. At Mack, we believe…
