Civil Engineering, Structural Engineering, Architecture, and Landscape Architecture — all in-house.
With expertise spanning architecture, civil engineering, landscape architecture, and structural engineering, ZCS delivers projects that balance design vision with constructability and long-term performance. Our teams collaborate across multiple offices and disciplines, bringing value engineering and learned contractor insight to every stage of development. The result is thoughtful, durable, and resilient solutions that serve both client goals and community needs.
Leading the design process, our architects focus on user experience, functionality, and lasting value. From concept through completion, they preserve design intent while balancing aesthetics, constructability, and budget. Working seamlessly with in-house engineering and landscape teams across multiple offices, they translate client goals into spaces that inspire and perform. Attention to spatial planning, material selection, and technical coordination ensures designs that are efficient, resilient, and responsive to both context and community.
At the foundation of every project, civil engineers provide the site analysis, grading, stormwater systems, utilities, and infrastructure that make development possible. Our experience ranges from master plans, subdivisions, public roadway infrastructure, and complex urban redevelopment sites. We utilize solutions that keep projects functional, efficient, and on track. The civil team is involved in a project from concept and land use planning, through entitlement and construction administration while working closely with architects, landscape architects, and contractors to deliver sites that balance performance, durability, and value.

Shaping outdoor environments that connect people, place, and ecology, landscape architects bring placemaking expertise and environmental sensitivity to every project. Their work spans planting and irrigation design, master planning, and pedestrian space programming. To align with client goals, our landscape team is mindful of budget and the long-term resilience of materials and plants selected for each project. We integrate native and natural elements with engineered solutions, ensuring every design meets performance standards while enhancing the natural and built environment.
Transforming design concepts into safe and efficient structures, structural engineers analyze loads, materials, and seismic demands to craft systems that support both performance and architectural intent. By aligning structural elements with building aesthetics and function, we achieve elegant, cost-effective solutions that stand the test of time. Our deep experience working with contractors during design and construction allows us to add value engineering and constructability insight to projects of all scales, from retrofits to new facilities. With a commitment to excellence and precision, we deliver reliable, high-performance solutions that bring design ideas to life.
“ZCS did a great job when it came to communication and the scheduled meetings were a great way of keeping everyone in the loop, it felt more like a team project."
