Design-Build Approach

As a design-build contractor, Soil Engineering Construction, Inc. can work with you along every step of the way to ensure the success of your project. Having our own staff of in-house engineers equips us to both complete repair designs as well as the construction work itself. We work with residential, commercial, and municipal/government clients, and our work process often includes structural investigation, plan creation and engineering design, permit procurement, construction, and permit finalization. In other words, we can work with you on your project from start to finish. Our vertically integrated, turn-key approach increases the efficiency of our project pipeline, saving you both time and money.

Key personnel at Soil Engineering Construction, Inc. comprise a team with a wide diversity of knowledge that can ensure the success of your project. On staff, we have engineers (civil, structural, and geotechnical), engineering geologists, plan draftsmen, project cost estimators, permitting specialists, area and project managers, as well as site superintendents, foremen, and field crews. We provide a strong working knowledge and understanding of City and County Municipal Code requirements, State regulations, and the California Coastal Act. Our goal is to provide critical geotechnical documentation and sound engineering designs that enhance our ability to secure all necessary project permits and construct a quality project in a cost effective and time sensitive manner.
