How a project moves

One team from feasibility through closeout — so nothing is lost in the handoffs.

Feasibility

Due diligence, zoning verification and a clear read on what the site will actually support.

Entitlements

Rezoning, platting and hearings — with the jurisdiction handled directly by us.

Design

Civil, structural, MEP and architectural production coordinated under one roof.

Permitting

Submittals, comment responses and resubmittals tracked through approval.

Construction & CO

Construction administration, inspections and Certificate of Occupancy.

04

Why owners hire us

What stands behind the work.

Registered Texas firm

Texas Engineering Firm Registration F-24275. Licensed work, performed under a registered firm.

Sealed by the engineer of record

Structural, MEP, civil and architectural each sealed by the licensed professional responsible for that scope.

Through approval, not just submittal

Comment responses, resubmittals and jurisdiction coordination handled until the permit is issued.

Proven across occupancies

Retail, restaurant and assembly, fuel, mixed-use and multifamily — including the heavier code load food service brings.

F-24275TX FIRM
Verify before you hire — anyone

Engineering in Texas must be performed by or under a firm registered with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Ours is F-24275, and it appears on every set we issue. Ask any firm you consider for theirs.

05

Common questions

The things owners ask before the first call.

Are you a licensed engineering firm?

Yes. 1020 Ventures holds Texas Engineering Firm Registration F-24275 with the Texas Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. Every discipline is sealed by the licensed professional of record for that scope.

Do you handle the permit, or just the drawings?

Both. We prepare and submit the package, then manage plan-review comments, resubmittals and jurisdiction coordination through to permit issuance and Certificate of Occupancy.

Can you cover civil, structural, MEP and architectural on the same project?

Yes — that is the core of what we do. All disciplines run under one project number so the owner has a single point of contact instead of refereeing three separate firms.

What building types do you work on?

Ground-up commercial and residential: retail shells, multi-tenant strip centers, restaurants and food service, fuel and convenience centers, tenant improvements, mixed-use and multifamily.

Where in Texas do you work?

Dallas–Fort Worth and its growth ring is our core market, and we work statewide — including smaller jurisdictions where plan review can be slower and less predictable.

What do you need to give me a price?

The site address, the intended use, approximate square footage, and any existing survey, plat or drawings. That is usually enough for a scope and fee.

Tell us about the project.

Send the site, the scope and whatever drawings you have. We will tell you what it takes and what it costs.
