In today’s media landscape, headlines are often dominated by large corporations. That’s why we felt it was important to shine a light on the vital role small businesses play—especially in our own industry. We’re proud to share that our recent opinion editorial on this topic was accepted and published in the San Diego Business Journal under the Real Estate section as a Guest Commentary.

San Dieguito Engineering, Inc. has been a cornerstone of land development in San Diego County since 1974. Since 2012, we’ve specialized in providing land surveying and civil engineering design services as part of larger teams delivering essential infrastructure projects for public works departments across the region.

Our continued success is rooted in the strong collaboration between our leadership and staff through communication, creativity and teamwork. This synergy has helped us not only survive—but thrive—through challenging economic times, from the Great Recession to the recent impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

By adapting our business model to meet the evolving needs of land development, San Dieguito Engineering has emerged as a leading, award-winning, woman-owned small business. We’re proud to be recognized in both public and private sectors for our dedication and quality of work.

Our growth wouldn’t be possible without the trust and support of our clients and the opportunities made available through local programs like SANDAG’s Bench and the City of San Diego’s E/SLBE Certifications. These programs allowing small firms like ours to compete—and win—partnering with larger companies.

To our fellow small business owners: we salute your perseverance, innovation, and grit. Our work matters, and together, we continue to shape the future of our communities. Together we celebrate the strength of small businesses in land development and public works.
