About Our Firm

Established in 1979, our roots go back to the Plantation Era where we designed mechanical equipment for sugar mills.

With the decline of sugar, we began designing HVAC, plumbing, municipal pump stations and fuel systems.

In the mid-80’s, we added Civil engineering services that include infrastructure and land development design, making our company what it is today.
