Notable Projects
One of our most notable programs has been the San Mateo County Community College District, where we’ve been providing program, project, and construction management services for over twenty years on more than 100 projects. Many of these projects are notable in size and complexity, across three college campuses, with an estimated value of $1.3 billion.

Our focus on educational facilities has led us to support various community college districts and K-12 districts by delivering high-quality projects. We also have a team of dedicated professionals who are focused on infrastructure projects, helping cities and counties improve their roadways, bridges, underground utilities, and sewer systems. Any project that adds or improves services and brings value to our communities is deemed notable by us.
