Since 1927, we have provided land surveying and engineering services that have set the stage for countless Northern California roadways, structures, communities, and flood control and wastewater systems. We begin each project by forming a clear picture of the underlying needs, desired results, and any element that lies between. Knowing that many paths lead to the same destination, we explore all that show promise, looking for innovations that will lower expenses and improve lifecycle costs. Engineering challenges are often complicated by public concerns, sensitive political issues, and questions that lie outside the scope of traditional engineering. We broaden our view to encompass the people and processes that determine ultimate success. Through clear and open communication, we bring all parties together, determine the best course, and deliver projects on time, under budget, and to our client’s wholehearted satisfaction. Through thousands of completed projects, we’ve established a consistent record of success evidenced by a customer base of 80 percent repeat clients. Some of our clients have been with us for months, others for more than 40 years. In surveys, we’re told that they stay with us because they can count on our senior managers to stay actively involved in their projects and our attention to detail makes projects run smoothly. The more than 150 staff members of Mark Thomas & Company, Inc. serve Northern and Central California from the firm’s San Jose headquarters and through branch offices in Alameda, Contra Costa, Monterey, Sacramento, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties.
