Rainwater System Design & Consulting

We are a licensed engineering firm in Texas that provides design and consulting services for rainwater harvesting systems on residential and commercial projects.  We specialize in systems that are used for irrigation, potable, and stormwater detention purposes.

It might be a surprise to you but we see many rainwater collection systems that are either not designed on residential projects (so it’s thrown onto the builder or other contractor to “figure out”) or under-designed on commercial projects (a circle drawn on the plans for the cistern does not constituent a rainwater harvesting system).

This leads to cost overruns or even cutting the rainwater collection system from the project all together due to not planning for its integration into the project.  You don’t want this to happen.  Save money, save time, and relieve stress during the construction process by allowing us to design the rainwater harvesting system upfront.

Rainwater collection systems can provide auxiliary water and/or potable water supply on residential projects.

• To supplement or replace municipal water use in the irrigation system
• To supplement or replace the use of municipal water for indoor, non-potable uses such as toilet flushing
• To meet local stormwater detention requirements
• To provide whole-house, drinking water supply

The difficulty is in designing a rainwater harvesting system that can efficiently collect rainwater but ensure that the system can be installed within a certain budget. No matter if your concerns are aesthetics, functionality, or maintenance issues, we have the necessary experience to overcome any obstacles and design a system to fit your need and budget.

These design packages are intended to streamline the system design process and provide you with plans that fit your situation.  With these plans, you can now have design documents that you can use to implement the system or you can provide to your contractor or home builder for them to install the system so that everyone to be on the same page.

Note: For the custom design packages, you must provide a pdf or cad version of your home plan and/or property plat.

Rainwater collection systems can provide auxiliary water for many different opportunities on commercial projects.

• To supplement or replace municipal water use in the irrigation system
• To supplement or replace the use of municipal water for toilet and urinal flushing
• To supply auxiliary water for internal building processes that do not require a municipally treated water source
• To supply any ancillary water uses such as vehicle washing, site washing
• To meet local stormwater detention requirements

The difficulty is in integrating the rainwater harvesting system into your commercial project so that it can efficiently provide the desired result.  No matter if your concerns are aesthetics, functionality, or maintenance issues, we have the necessary experience to overcome any obstacles and creatively integrate the rainwater catchment system into your project.

These design packages are intended to streamline the system design process and provide a complete engineered system design that is integrated into the building and site design.  With these packages, you can budget these into your design budget.

The greatest benefit of these packages is that now you will have a complete design for the rainwater harvesting system, detailing all of the various interaction points involved in the system.  No longer will you have to take the responsibility to ensure the adequate design of the rainwater harvesting system.

By having a complete engineered system design for the rainwater harvesting system, this will help provide the installation contractor with the required information to create an accurate construction estimate, eliminating any extra buffer costs that would be estimated into the system installation cost due to the “unknowns” in an incomplete system design.

These prices apply to most projects but depending on the complexity of the cistern integration or collection piping, we reserve the right to provide an individual proposal for your system design.

Imagine impressing the project owner’s with a full assessment and analysis of the rainwater harvesting potential of the project?

Planning for a rainwater harvesting system and its integration within a project building and site can take a lot of time.  Why spend all that time planning and designing the system just to find out that it doesn’t provide the anticipated savings or find out that the system cost is way over the its budget in the project?

This report is perfect for architects or engineers who are investigating the potential opportunity of including a rainwater harvesting system on your project.  The range of reports allows you to purchase exactly what you may need in terms of the analysis level.

If you are part of a design firm with multiple offices, municipality, or company and you want to run multiple reports for different projects throughout the year, we offer an annual subscription program. Please call us at 512-490-0932 to find out pricing of our subscription program.
