Regional experience

Engineering that starts with the place.

At the east end of Big Bear Valley, flatter developed parcels and the surrounding slopes call for different site designs. A low site may need close attention to existing flow paths and water evidence, while a hillside project may be controlled by the driveway, rock, and available building pad. Calicore develops the civil layout around the actual terrain and proposed use.

Big Bear City is unincorporated despite its name. Calicore coordinates the civil package with County review and the applicable utility providers, tying building elevations, grading, drainage, and service connections into one plan. Existing improvements and district records help establish what can remain and what additional field information is needed for the project.

Local questions

Working with Calicore

Is Big Bear City reviewed by the City of Big Bear Lake?+

No. Big Bear City is an unincorporated community. The APN should be used to establish County jurisdiction and the serving utility districts rather than treating the two similarly named places as one permitting area.

What should I send for a Big Bear City civil-engineering proposal?+

Send the site address or APN, proposed improvements, available survey and grading information, utility records, and any agency correction letter. Calicore uses those records to define the field work, civil drawings, calculations, and permit-coordination scope.

Can Calicore coordinate the civil work with my other project consultants?+

Yes. Site layout, grading, drainage, access, utilities, and applicable wastewater work can be organized within one civil scope. Calicore coordinates with the architect, structural engineer, geotechnical consultant, licensed surveyor, and other specialists as the project requires.
