Leading Civil Engineering & Surveying Solutions in Mountain View and Palo Alto

Mountain View and Palo Alto are at the core of Silicon Valley’s innovation — and behind every high-tech campus, mixed-use development, or sustainable infrastructure upgrade is a foundation of smart engineering and accurate land data. From Googleplex expansions to Stanford-linked urban planning initiatives, this region demands precision, foresight, and regulatory fluency.

Kier & Wright has served the region’s developers, municipalities, and institutions for decades — providing strategic civil engineering, project management, and land surveying services to support projects of all scopes and sizes.

Civil Engineering Project Management You Can Count On

Delivering complex site developments in high-value areas like Mountain View and Palo Alto requires structured coordination, technical expertise, and proactive communication. Our experienced team offers top-tier civil engineering project management to keep every phase of your project aligned and moving forward.

Our services include:

Planning and feasibility studies
Civil design scope development
Schedule coordination and permit tracking
Utility coordination and agency interfacing
Construction administration and plan revisions

Whether you’re designing a multi-acre office park in Palo Alto or a high-density residential block near downtown Mountain View, our project managers act as your single point of contact — eliminating silos between surveyors, civil engineers, and regulatory agencies.

Our team’s strong relationships with Santa Clara County and local planning departments help minimize red tape and fast-track approvals, even on highly regulated or space-constrained sites.

Integrated Engineering Services for Tech-Driven Cities

Kier & Wright’s engineering services are designed for urban infill, smart mobility, and green building initiatives that are shaping the future of Mountain View and Palo Alto.
