Managing resources is critical in today’s world. As land development increases, careful planning and design on every project site, both above and below ground, becomes more important. Consideration has to be given to site and infrastructure constraints, environmental and regulatory concerns, and potential community impact. We can help.
BG Consultants provides planning and design services for civic, commercial, and private land sites. We partner with you on all phases of a project, beginning with site analysis through permitting and construction, to develop site-specific solutions that meet your unique project objectives.
By drawing upon our in-house surveying, transportation, water, structural, MEP, and architecture professionals, we will develop a comprehensive, cost-effective design for your needs. From building sites to neighborhood parks, trails, and subdivisions, you can trust BG Consultants to deliver quality work that enhances the usability and sustainability of your site.

In today’s transportation-driven world, first impressions of a city or business are not formed when a person walks in your door, but when they park their vehicle. Well-designed parking lots — with ample space, good traffic circulation, stormwater management, ADA accessibility, and smooth surfaces — can help ensure that the first experience with your facility is a positive one.
The engineers at BG Consultants have decades of experience designing new parking lots and rehabilitating existing ones for public and private clients. We’ll help you through new challenges for sustainable design as environmental concerns and regulations grow, and maintain the ecological systems around your parking areas. No matter the project, our mission is to optimize traffic circulation, maximize capacity, minimize your expenses, and help you create good first impressions.
Parking Lot Services
- Patching: To repair cracks or potholes in asphalt parking lots, a cold patch with aggregate is installed at singular locations. For concrete parking lots, patching involves sawing out the portions in poor condition, repairing the subgrade in that area, and repouring with new concrete.
- Seal Coating: Used primarily for well-maintained asphalt parking lots, this liquid asphalt emulsion treatment provides a thin layer of protection to shield moisture and minimize erosion.
- Slurry Seal: A minor asphalt resurfacing treatment, this economical option uses a cold mix of aggregate and asphalt emulsion and helps replace small cracks in the existing surface.
- Mill & Overlay: When a parking lot has experienced surface deterioration but no subgrade failure, milling (or removing) the top layer of asphalt and overlaying new asphalt up to the previously existing elevation is a viable option.
- Remove & Replace: If the parking lot subgrade has deteriorated beyond repair, this project involves removing the entire parking lot structure and replacing it with new asphalt or concrete.
- New Construction: Where no parking lot currently exists, we provide engineering services to develop the best solutions for your needs.
At BG Consultants, we’ve seen firsthand the benefits recreational facilities can bring to Kansas communities. Multipurpose trails offer safe routes for pedestrian traffic, connect community assets, and promote active lifestyles. Parks reflect a city’s culture and attract visitors, events, and developers. Water features provide interactive spaces for youth to play. When it comes to the parks and trails in your community, even the smallest investment can produce valuable returns.
Over the years, our team has developed successful partnerships with cities across Kansas to design parks and trails integral to their communities. With several award-winning projects in our portfolio, we know what it takes to make your vision a reality. We are well-equipped to handle the challenges related to park and trail development, including surfacing; water and environmental impacts; ADA, AASHTO, and KDOT regulations; utility systems; and structural and traffic engineering.

Planning for new construction rarely starts with the actual building. From detention ponds and utility lines to parking lots and sidewalks, there are many functional and environmental factors that determine a site’s impact on land development.
It takes multiple design disciplines to bring a development together. BG Consultants’ team can address all of these needs in-house, bringing you tailored solutions for transforming land into usable residential, commercial, and public spaces. We’ve designed projects ranging from 10-lot residential subdivisions to 200+ acre commercial and industrial parks.
You can rely on us through all phases of development, from pre-development meetings with city administrators, to preliminary and final platting and design, all the way through construction administration. Through our comprehensive approach, we maintain positive relationships with local planning departments, community members, and contractors to coordinate projects smoothly and in compliance with local zoning and environmental regulations.
Driven by our commitment to bettering Kansas communities, we design subdivisions that integrate smoothly into the surrounding area, attract businesses and residents, and enhance the overall quality of life.
