- Experience
- One-of-a-Kind Technology
- Scalable Services
We spend our days writing plans and ordinances so we understand the ins and outs of how they’re administered, who their users are and how they updated and codified.
KKC staff members have advanced degrees in urban planning, architecture, economics, environmental design, public administration and technical communication. Collectively, we offer more than 185 years of planning and zoning experience.
Our staff can provide virtually any type or level of service. We can provide technical advice, perform audits, draft amendments, prepare updates, develop 3D models, provide graphic and illustration support and offer on-call services.
We have partnered with hundreds of firms and can either bring subject experts to a project or support others with our expertise. We can also work alongside city or county staff to support their planning efforts with technology.
enCodePlus agreements include clauses for the provision of professional services. In lieu of a time-consuming and costly process to award a separate contract, tap into our standing agreement. Or, use a purchasing system to choose us as a qualified vendor.
Not an ArcGIS Urban User, Yet?
NO PROBLEM. WE CAN HELP GET YOU THERE!
Many communities are not equipped with advanced GIS technology or the required skills, but we can help. By preparing and publishing the necessary data sets to a community’s ArcGIS Online Organization (AGOL), and configuring a specific web scene, we can help implement the initial operating capabilities for a planning solution using ArcGIS Urban.
This foundation allows a community to conduct meaningful planning tasks while positioning it to both expand their data and enable more advanced business workflows in the future.
