Delivering for Clients Throughout California and Beyond

Our California region — anchored by our primary office in Brea, which opened in 2010 — delivers engineering, environmental, construction and consulting services in combination with employee-owners in offices worldwide. As a 100 percent employee-owned firm, our focus is on superior service to exceed client expectations.

Our work in the region — combined with that of our Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco Bay Area offices — focuses on projects and services in the aviation, environmental, federal and power industries, and our professionals apply our broad corporate resources to meet client needs in any market. We leverage our design-build, owner’s engineer, program management and project controls experience to support success on projects of all sizes.

Our founding partners set out from Stanford University in 1898, building a firm from Kansas City, then branching back into California in the 1920s with waterworks, sewer, sewage disposal, electric lighting, and public utility appraisal services. Since that time, we’ve expanded to serve clients with wide-ranging services, including:

Aviation planning and design
Business, security and technology consulting through 1898 & Co.
Design-build
Environmental compliance, permitting and remediation
Military, industrial and commercial facility design and construction
Renewables
Seaports
Transmission and substation design and construction
Transportation electrification and electric vehicles
