Stay Focused.

Leave Permitting To Us.

Entitling, surveying, design and coordination. We engineer efficiency and cost savings for developers and property owners.

Let’s Build Clarity

We’re civil engineers that streamline land development, surveying and entitlement. It’s a messy process—we make it transparent.

Civil Engineering & Land Development

Safe and considerate design is applied from preliminary engineering through final construction documentation. We provide a full array of technical analyses, report writing, design and plan production for proposed and existing project sites.

Geomatics & Land Surveying

Among the myriad services under geomatics, we engineer and deliver the most efficient, cost-effective solutions to every site’s challenges. Conducting drone photogrammetry, traditional Total Station/Field Surveys, and parsing historical record information, are just a few methods we deploy to gain critical insights for proposed projects.

Why Choose 4C?

Sustainability of Business, Site and Compliance Drives Our Execution and Creativity

With others, piling on change orders is par for the course.

At 4C, we’re as sensitive to cost overruns as anyone should be. Any changes to scope are proactively discussed with our clients and are only prioritized when they are clearly necessary, and agreed to. We’re acutely aware these long-term projects require trust, reliability and consistency for a business relationship to be viable and sustainable.

With others, locality and community impact may not be prioritized.

At 4C, where we engineer, we also call home. Vigilant, best in class design and coordination, considerate of site and its nuances, help keep San Diego—your home and ours, beautiful and sustainable.

With others, cutting corners for gains now will inevitably lead to fiscal losses down the road—for their clients, that is.

At 4C, compliance with municipal entitling requirements is sacrosanct, and meaningful. A project’s foundation rooted in full compliance is more resilient and cost-effective for our clients over time—long after our contracts have closed. A solid win for our clients.
