WE ARE PGA ENGINEERS INC.

WE PROVIDE YOU THE PLANS AND PREPARATIONS TO BUILD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR YOUR CITIES AND COMMUNITIES

At PGA Engineers Inc. we know the future well-being of our cities and communities relies on the excellence of its civil and structural engineering. We believe our services are essential in preparing us for the impending transition towards this sustainable future. So we choose to collaborate with cutting-edge companies who are willing to build projects and infrastructure that will serve us as well as the generations to come.

Our company provides design and planning services for engineering projects for both the public and private sector. We specialize in structural engineering involving electrical generation, transmission, and distribution. We regularly employ industry experts to perform inspections at each stage of construction to give a report on the current status of your project.

We pride ourselves in maintaining a high standard of quality, constant reliability, and cost-efficiency in the design of your engineering projects. Our team encompasses three decades of experience working in civil and structural engineering. Now as PGA Engineers Inc. we have collaborated with distinguished firms like Southern California Edison, Sargent and Lundy, and HDR to design buildings and infrastructure that will benefit the communities of today and tomorrow.

From the drawing board until the end of construction, PGA Engineers Inc. will guide you every step of the way.

If you want to get your next project off the ground, here’s how we can help.

A HIGH STANDARD OF QUALITY

Each piece of infrastructure – a road, building, or substation – that we design will dramatically improve the quality of people’s lives. So we take the greatest effort in designing our plans with proficiency, industry wisdom, and a careful attention to detail. We have a duty to fulfill, to our clients but also to our communities, and so we strive to deliver the best possible design.

CONSTANT RELIABILITY

One of our specialties at PGA Engineers Inc. is that our work does not stop at design. We employ experts to supervise you at every step of construction. Once you collaborate with us, we will have your back and we will be ready every time you need assistance in coordinating your project.

COST-EFFICIENCY

We provide value without sacrificing our high standard of quality. With three decades of experience in civil engineering, we carry time-tested knowledge on what to implement in order to complete your project in the most time-efficient and cost-saving way possible.
