About ACAR Engineering

Licensed PE. Houston Roots.

ACAR Engineering is a Houston-based civil engineering consulting firm led by a Texas-licensed Professional Engineer. We specialize in residential and light commercial civil engineering, with deep experience in the regulatory landscape of the greater Houston metropolitan area.

We understand how Houston works — Harris County drainage requirements and the unique challenges of developing in a flat, flood-prone region. When you work with ACAR Engineering, you get direct access to a licensed PE, not a junior designer.

Our clients range from custom homebuilders and residential developers to small municipalities seeking third-party plan review. We pride ourselves on clear communication, fast turnaround, and technically sound deliverables that hold up through the permitting process.

FAQ

Common Questions

Have a question not listed here? Contact us directly — we're happy to discuss your project at no obligation.

Do I need a PE stamp for my residential project in Texas?
+
Texas law requires a licensed Professional Engineer to sign and seal certain civil engineering documents, including drainage plans and grading designs submitted for permitted construction. Requirements vary by jurisdiction. We can review your project scope and advise on exactly what requires a PE seal in your specific municipality or county.
What areas does ACAR Engineering serve?
+
We primarily serve the greater Houston metropolitan area, including Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, and Galveston counties. We also take on projects elsewhere in Texas on a case-by-case basis. Contact us to discuss your project location.
How long does a plan review typically take?
+
Standard plan review is typically completed within 5–10 business days depending on project complexity and submittal completeness. Expedited review is available for time-sensitive submittals — contact us to discuss your schedule and we will do our best to accommodate your timeline.
Can you coordinate directly with Harris County or the City of Houston on my behalf?
+
Yes. We have experience working directly with Harris County Flood Control District and City of Houston Public Works. We can represent your project through the permitting and approval process, attend coordination meetings, and respond to agency comments.
What information do I need to get started?
+
A brief description of your project, the project address or general location, any existing plans or surveys you have, and your target timeline. You can submit this through our contact form and we will follow up with a scope and fee proposal within one to two business days.
Do you work with homebuilders and individual homeowners?
