Civil engineering concentrates on the site, drainage, and underground infrastructure. As a sub-discipline of civil engineering, environmental engineering, takes into account environmental factors such as soil conditions that may potentially affect the site.

Mechanical and electrical engineers are responsible for designing the distribution and flow of energy and electricity throughout the new construction site. In addition, plumbing design focuses on water and waste systems for the site.

Structural engineers focus on the skeleton of the building. This field of engineering includes the design of all columns, beams, and supports necessary to keep the building standing.

Fire protection engineers focus on building safety and develop building hazard classifications that coordinate with fire protection requirements.
