Meet Our Staff:

   
John

John S. Coffey, PE, PLS, President

John learned the civil engineering and surveying business from the ground up, and has been practicing in San Diego County since 1995 with a hand in more than a thousand local civil engineering and surveying projects. For jobs large and small, he believes in looking at the ‘big picture’ early. So, with questions in hand, his primary goal is to provide you with the best combination of services needed for your site to facilitate the permitting process and provide you with a solid, competent design for construction. John’s thorough nature and keen eye for detail will keep your project on track through the challenges of the development process.
