Established in 1983, formerly known as Pete O. Lapid & Associates (POLA) started as a small electrical engineering firm with offices in San Francisco and Oakland. POLAinc has performed as a Prime Consultant and a Subconsultant, providing engineering, design and construction administration services for a wide range of small, medium and large-scale projects throughout California for both the public and private sectors, including:

• Airport Terminals, Facilities, Security and Special Systems
• Utilities and Infrastructures
• Rail and Light Rail Systems
• Transportation, Highways and Traffic
• Commercial and Office Buildings
• Retail and Shopping Centers
• Educational Facilities and Institutions
• Multi-Family and Affordable Housing
• Governmental and Public Buildings
• Convention, Community and Recreation Centers
• Medical and Healthcare Facilities
• Laboratories and Research Facilities

Since the firm’s inception, POLAinc ‘s growth has been steady, growing to a thriving medium sized firm. POLAinc has been awarded and successfully completed several large commissions over $250 million. The firm’s continued growth can be attributed to the constant attention to detailed, quality work, adherence to project schedules, active Principal involvement, experienced Project Managers, and our dedication to maintaining positive productive and responsive client relations.

POLAinc ‘s consistent delivery of quality engineering services is due in part to the oversight of a Principal-in-Charge from inception to completion of the project. Our Project Manager’s close communication and coordination with the Client and the design team helps clearly define the project’s criteria and the design approach. We believed that working closely with the client and the design team members throughout the project eliminates potential misunderstandings and resulting delays.

The POLAinc team consists of experienced and licensed professional engineers, graduate engineers and designers, CADD technicians, technical and administrative staff, all of whom contribute to well-coordinated and technically accurate documents.
