I am a Professional Civil Engineer with a passion for high-end landscape transformation. I specialize in a "ground-up" approach—where technical engineering excellence meets creative architectural vision. My mission is to solve the complex structural and hydrological challenges of a site while simultaneously crafting an aesthetic "living sanctuary" for my clients. With a career spanning residential apartment complexes, luxury estates, and intricate outdoor renovations, I bring a holistic perspective to every project. I don't just design how a space looks; I engineer how it breathes, drains, and stands the test of time. Core Areas of Expertise 1. Landscape Design & "Outdoor Sanctuaries" I transform underutilized backyards and front yards into premium living spaces. My designs prioritize flow, privacy, and harmony with nature. Residential Paradises: Custom patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pit lounges, and pergolas. Softscape & Hardscape: Selection of sustainable vegetation paired with durable, high-end stone and wood work. Lighting & Ambiance: Integrated lighting plans to extend the usability of the sanctuary into the night. 2. Civil Engineering & Earthworks I provide the essential technical foundation that ensures a project's longevity. Precision Leveling & Grading: Solving uneven terrain issues to create functional flat zones for construction or recreation. Earthworks Optimization: Expert cut-and-fill calculations to minimize soil transport costs and maximize site efficiency. Erosion Control: Designing resilient solutions for sloped properties and unstable soil conditions. 3. Hydrology & Waterproofing Solutions Water management is the most critical aspect of any civil project. I specialize in keeping structures dry and land usable. Advanced Drainage Systems: French drains, catch basins, and swale designs that prevent pooling and foundation damage. Structural Waterproofing: Expert specifications for basement and retaining wall waterproofing to protect your investment. Stormwater Management: Designing eco-friendly runoff solutions that comply with local environmental regulations. 4. Structural Analysis & Urban Living My experience extends into the vertical world of residential living. Residential Apartments: Structural planning and site layout for multi-family dwellings. Luxury Home Foundations: Engineering robust footings for high-value architectural masterpieces. Retaining Walls: Designing gravity, cantilever, and anchored walls that turn steep hills into usable tiers. Software Mastery I utilize industry-leading technology to provide clear, construction-ready deliverables: Civil 3D & AutoCAD: For technical blueprints, topographical surveys, and grading plans. SketchUp & Lumion: To provide you with stunning, photorealistic 3D walkthroughs of your design before a single shovel hits the ground. Revit (BIM): For seamless integration between structural engineering and architectural design. SAP2000 / ETABS: For rigorous structural stress tests and load calculations. Project Highlights & Accomplishments Luxury Residential Estates: Lead engineer for multiple $2M+ home sites, managing everything from the initial land survey to the final "sanctuary" garden installation. Multi-Unit Apartment Complexes: Developed comprehensive site civil plans for urban residential buildings, focusing on optimized parking lot drainage and structural integrity. The "Sloped Site" Specialist: Successfully reclaimed over 5,000 sq. ft. of previously unusable "cliff-side" land for a client by engineering a tiered retaining wall and drainage system. Waterproofing Rescue: Redesigned the failed drainage system of a luxury basement, implementing a permanent waterproofing solution that saved the structure from mold and decay. Front Yard Curb-Appeal Overhauls: Transformed dozens of standard front yards into modern, drought-resistant landscapes that increased property valuations by an average of 15-20%.

Miss Botha, Founder of JBC Services has worked in a range of multi-disciplinary environments including water and sanitation, roads and stormwater, commercial and industrial developments as well as the construction industry. She has gained extensive experience in the design of civil services and roads, project management, contract management, construction supervision and construction management. She is proficient in a range of engineering software programs including AutoCAD, AutoCAD Civil 3D and SSA (Storm and Sewer Analysis) as well as Caddie 18 and Model/Pipe/Road Maker. Miss Botha completed her National Diploma in 2009 and is currently busy with her BTech – Urban Engineering at UNISA which will be completed at the end of 2015. Miss Botha is also registered with CESA as a candidate Technician and plans to register professionally as an Engineering Technologist in 2019, as per CESA requirements. Certificates available on request. The Engineering Industry has a tendency to go from extremely busy with tight deadlines and impossible targets to dead quiet. Realizing that small to medium sized consulting engineers, architects and developers may want to utilize a qualified experienced technician for a contract period rather than to appoint someone full time, JBC Services was founded to assist in these demanding times at competitive rates compared to registered professionals.

With a dynamic career as a Civil Engineer and Drafter spanning over six years, I bring to the table a wealth of experience, a strong commitment to precision, and a passion for exceeding expectations. My journey started in 2016, and since then, I've worn multiple hats, from inspection and testing roles to drafting and designing for complex projects. My current role as a Project Engineer involves overseeing a team of design engineers on large-scale industrial site development projects. This diverse experience has shaped me into a versatile professional who is comfortable navigating the many facets of civil engineering. In terms of technical skills, my proficiency with AutoCAD and Civil 3D sets me apart. This mastery was honed through my time as a drafting professor, a role in which I developed a comprehensive curriculum and wrote over 800 pages of material. This experience not only deepened my own knowledge but also equipped me with the skills to communicate complex concepts effectively. Among my notable projects are Amazon distribution centers, Domino's stores, and public water and sewer mains spread across Oregon, Western Washington, and as far as Tennessee. Each project has sharpened my ability to conduct detailed stormwater and wastewater management solutions, site grading, road design, sewer lift stations, and many other tasks, all of which are completed with rigorous attention to detail and a commitment to delivering results on time and within budget. Educationally, I hold a bachelor's degree in civil engineering with a minor in applied physics from an ABET accredited institution. Graduating summa cum laude, I proved my dedication to my field and my commitment to achieving high standards. My strengths lie not only in my technical abilities but also in my strategic approach to project management and my meticulous attention to detail. I kick off projects with a comprehensive schedule, identify critical paths and target dates, maintain consistent communication with clients, and ensure all discussions are documented for future reference. I am proud to be a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Washington, and I am ready to secure licensure in other states according to the project's needs. My approach to work is characterized by a commitment to transforming clients' visions into reality, delivering aesthetic and sustainable designs within the agreed timeframe and budget. In my free time, I nurture my love for learning, dabbling in coding, indulging in my passion for physics and science, playing chess, and enjoying tennis. These interests add a unique dimension to my professional skillset, as I continually seek to learn, grow, and bring fresh perspectives to my work. In every project I undertake, I strive to embody the principles of excellence, integrity, and sustainable practices. Your vision is my mission, and I look forward to crafting engineering solutions that exceed your expectations.
