With over 60 years of experience in providing professional services in the region, establishing a physical presence in Guam was a logical strategic decision. Over the past few years, the geo-political tensions in the Pacific have created an even more robust need for planning and engineering services. Our Guam office allows us to readily fulfill our client’s needs.
