Infrastructure, Transportation & Real Estate Advisory | Integrated Strategies for Complex, Place‑Based Outcome

GRAVES Civic Solutions (GRAVES) delivers integrated advisory services at the intersection of infrastructure, transportation, land use, real estate, and public policy. Our team combines deep expertise in urban and transportation planning, landscape architecture, engineering, sustainability, public affairs, and real estate development to help public agencies and partners move complex projects from vision to implementation.

We support clients through every phase of the built environment lifecycle—from early planning and policy alignment to design coordination, stakeholder engagement, and delivery strategy—ensuring projects are technically sound, politically viable, and community‑centered.

Leading transformative infrastructure and development initiatives requires more than technical analysis. It demands interdisciplinary collaboration, clear governance strategies, and an understanding of how transportation, public realm design, real estate economics, climate resilience, and social impact intersect in real places. GRAVES works alongside clients to align agencies, elected bodies, community voices, and private partners around shared objectives and implementable outcomes.

Our consultants bring experience from municipal planning departments, transportation agencies, universities, engineering and design teams, and owner‑side delivery environments, allowing us to bridge planning, policy, design, and execution with credibility across sectors.
