Building in Truckee requires more than great architecture — it requires thoughtful planning of drainage, grading, and infrastructure. A civil engineer must design projects that work with Sierra terrain, deep winter snowpack, and strict environmental protections surrounding the Truckee River watershed. The Boulders development offers a clear example of how careful civil engineering helps projects succeed in mountain environments.
