Client Testimonials
“The CE Group is a wonderful civil engineering firm! I have personally worked with the CE Group for more than 10 years. You might ask why I keep going back to them–it is simply because I trust them as individuals, I trust their engineering to be correct, and I trust them to understand that the design must be the most cost effective design possible for our clients.”
“I have enjoyed working with the CE Group on both large and small development projects since 2003. I continue to use them on new projects because of their quality of work, level of integrity, responsiveness to challenges, and value for relationships.”
“We have used CE Group for a variety of projects from the simple to the complex. I have always found Mark, Joe and the CE Group Team to be exacting and professional in their efforts before, during and after a project is complete. They are creative problem solvers and allow us to develop projects that might otherwise not be able to be undertaken.”
