Since its inception in 1946, E & M Engineers and Surveyors, P.C. has demonstrated expertise in a broad range of projects affiliated with the fields of civil and environmental engineering and surveying.  Particular emphasis of the Firm has been in the development and maintenance of our nation’s infrastructure, thereby assuring a safe and comfortable environment that can be depended upon by the lives of those affected by the projects.

 

Our philosophy is that a project needs the personal attention of the firm’s experienced principles to respond to the needs of each Client, with the understanding and technical competence expected of a professional organization.  While we are large enough to see major projects through to completion, we are also able to give smaller problems the same personal attention.

 

The ultimate goal is successful and timely project completion.  To achieve this goal, E & M Engineers and Surveyors, P.C. endeavors to carefully study the intent of a project and provide the most cost-effective solution, always aiming at the target.  The Firm is committed to providing this type of dependable professional service.
