COMMUNITY DESIGN
Sanderson Stewart has a simple core purpose: To Plan and Design Enduring Communities. That purpose may sound simple, but we know to actually achieve it requires an extraordinary vision of the community as a whole. How will people use this? What connections are vital to its sustainability? How can it best serve its citizens for generations? We believe we must think beyond the basic requirements of the engineering, beyond our entrenched assumptions, and apply creativity to design practical solutions that work, knowing the success of the project affects the entire community. That belief has led us to develop a framework for a holistic design-thinking and project delivery approach we call Complete Design. And our passion for creative but practical design has driven Sanderson Stewart to become an award-winning regional Community Design firm.

What we do.
SERVICES
INFRASTRUCTURE ENGINEERING
Connections are the source of vitality. Like a tree is connected to the earth, like arteries circulating throughout a body. Our civil and transportation engineers connect facilities to the community by designing sites that maximize land use, by designing infrastructure that efficiently links with existing resources, and by designing accessible, intuitive pathways and corridors.
Innovative but practical infrastructure solutions on which to build your community.
LANDSCAPE + PLACE MAKING
Within communities, active, well-loved places don’t just happen, they are made. They require the insight of use and purpose, the understanding of the natural surroundings, and the technical expertise to meaningfully integrate the built environment with the natural one. From greenspace to urban infill to planned community development, our designers work to do just that: create the places a community treasures.
Designing beautiful, active spaces that create vibrant and healthy communities.
COMMUNITY PLANNING
In life, it is good to have a map, but a map with navigation is even better. A map is a static glimpse at your surroundings, while navigation continues to lead you in the direction of your dreams. Towards your vision, regardless of change or obstacles. That is our approach to community planning – to acknowledge the current circumstance and see the future potential, and then help to navigate you there. We provide the tools and framework, based on real-world application and implementation fundamentals, that you will need to continually guide you toward your vision.
Helping you plan and implement your vision for an enduring community.
SURVEYING + MAPPING
Nothing gets built correctly without first accurately assessing, measuring, and documenting the surroundings. Using state of the art scanning, surveying, and GIS technology, we can present the entire picture to the design team before valuable resources are deployed. Working with the correct agencies and municipalities, we effectively create a community “catalog” that is an accurate basis of design and growth for our communities.
Using precision mapping technology and data analysis to provide an accurate basis for every community project.
BRANDING
Every project has a story. A story that about how it came to be, about the vision of what it will be, about how it will make people’s lives better. That story, and the image that the project projects, are critical to the overall success of a project, a business, or even a community. Our branding specialists work with clients from the very beginning of the project to understand the purpose, create a distinctive brand image and message and help them be seen.
Creatively communicating your message and building your brand.

SPECIALIZED DELIVERY
Diversity is the strength of any community. And the same is true for Sanderson Stewart. Each of our clients is different and has specific needs and requirements. Our specialized delivery groups understand their clients’ unique challenges, processes, needs and goals. Within each of these delivery groups, we have multi-disciplinary experts who work together, combining their expertise and points of view to provide a complete design.
No “if only” or “surprise” allowed.
Who we do it for.
DELIVERY GROUPS + SPECIALITY STUDIOS
COMMERCIAL
Commercial development often begins with identifying the right piece of property. Whether greenfield or infill, each piece of land presents specific challenges and opportunities. Partnering with the right experts at the beginning of the project can help you address those challenges, maximize the potential, and get the most out of your investment. The Commercial Development delivery group at Sanderson Stewart understands the complexities of developing a vision and bringing it to market in a viable time frame.
MUNICIPAL
Infrastructure is every bit as vital to a community as arteries to a body and roots to a tree. It is the foundation for stability and for growth.It needs to serve the citizens and be responsive enough to support expansion and infill. Successful and timely growth requires sound, implementable planning and innovative, maintainable design solutions. The engineers, planners, landscape architects, and designers in the Municipal delivery group at Sanderson Stewart understand importance of balancing these needs for ongoing infrastructure development with the realities of funding and implementation in the public domain. Being good stewards of public funds is an enormous responsibility.
RESIDENTIAL
It takes more than bricks and boards to make a home. A home needs a sense of place, a feeling of security, and great connections to the surrounding community. Home is a place people want to go to relax, to feel safe–and, when designed correctly, they don’t have to worry about things like lot lines, drainage, or accessibility.
The engineers, planners, landscape architects, and designers in the Residential Development delivery group at Sanderson Stewart understand how to create that sense of home that everyone desires, and how to help you get it to market as efficiently as possible. They will work closely with you to realize your vision for a home or an entire subdivision. They will guide you through the development process and provide beautiful design solutions to make the most of your land investment. They will create that unique sense of character that both increases quality of life and helps your project be seen in a sea of housing inventory.
DOT
Our transportation system provides vital connections in our communities. The ability to safely carry goods and people state to state and city to city drives our economy and provides accessibility for all. Providing a safe transportation network that connects and enhances our beautiful,and sometimes challenging terrain,requires informed planning and innovative and sustainable design solutions.
