COMPANY HISTORY

One of the most successful multi-disciplinary engineering-planning firms in the Bay Area, Aliquot was incorporated in 1980. The company's reputation is based on its ability to deliver plans that not only ensure city approvals and support, but also facilitate smooth progress from plan to construction. Aliquot has represented both the private and public sector by providing designs that balance competing needs and at the same time create aesthetically enhanced environments that make communities desirable places to live and work. Aliquot's experience spans municipal, residential, and commercial projects. The firm's services cover all phases of project development, including engineering design, project and construction management and technical advice. The planning challenges arising from both the Bay Area's topography, as well as from various political and environmental constrains.

Aliquot's philosophy is built upon its dependability to meet commitments. Schedules are carefully analyzed and commitments are regarded as Aliquot's leading contribution to a successful project. This requires not only quality and timely submittals, but also the experience and confidence necessary to keep the project moving through the relevant agencies. An understanding of the procedures unique to each individual agency and the relationships established with each agency's staff offers opportunity to control the process. Aliquot's innovative approach reduces the usual processing time.

Good engineering is quality first, with a view of the overall goal. The practicality and knowledge of construction techniques is integral in determining the appropriate design. Competent quality design, which enhances the project and protects both the client and Aliquot, is accomplished with cost as a meaningful consideration. Over-design is not beneficial and this concept is stressed to Aliquot's staff.

Our principal-in-charge and project manager approach guarantees the combined experience of Aliquot's principals and key employees. This approach means you have a say in every decision throughout the project, which results in a more workable solution, a minimum of surprises during construction, and a finished product you will be proud of.
