What Site Design Inc does

Site Design, Inc. is a privately held professional services firm founded in 1991 by Andy Sherard and headquartered in Greenville, South Carolina, with a regional office in Spartanburg. The firm provides an integrated suite of four core services: land surveying, civil engineering, landscape architecture, and geographic information systems (GIS). It serves commercial, residential, healthcare, education, institutional, and government clients across South Carolina, North Carolina, and Georgia, with engineering licensure in eight states (AL, GA, NC, NY, SC, TN, TX, VA) and surveying licensure in three (GA, NC, SC). Notable engagements include Hughes Development's Project One Plaza (~$100M mixed-use), the $115M Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport terminal renovation, the CU-ICAR campus surveys, and a 37-facility ALTA survey program for SunTrust Bank.

The firm's service delivery is built around integrated multidisciplinary teams that combine surveying, engineering, landscape architecture, and GIS under a single contract — a model the company highlights as a key differentiator. Technology stack includes GPS, GIS, 3D laser scanning, and LiDAR for precision surveying, alongside a six-phase GIS geodatabase implementation methodology. The firm employs approximately 53 people, with senior staff holding P.E., P.L.S., R.L.A., and C.F.M. credentials averaging 20-37 years of industry experience.

Site Design generates revenue through project-based, fee-for-service engagements priced per project scope rather than via disclosed rate cards. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales through long-standing relationships with developers, healthcare systems, school districts, and municipal entities — supplemented by a website portfolio and professional referral networks. The firm is founder-led, with Mark Binsz, P.E. as President and A. Clay Jones, P.L.S. as Director of Land Surveying, and has no disclosed outside funding, debt, or parent company.
