About Us

Each of our Engineers is a long-time Central Coast California resident, and when not saving the world one Civil situation at a time, we can be found enjoying the great outdoors and tending to our little flocks.

We get your permits in your hands with no delay

We started as a small 2 men army offering dedicated Civil Engineering solutions in the neighborhood. This then expanded into a larger team offering a wider range of services at affordable prices. Whether it’s a new home, septic design, or rural roadway, we make sure it gets all of the attention and none of the hassle.

Our Mission

We bring our years of experience and community connections to ensure a streamlined permitting process. No surprises. Just solid, communicative engineering to get you into construction the moment you are ready.

Core Values

Why Choose Us?

Your project needs engineering consultation, engineered documentation, and a permit. And we know exactly how to get them working for you.

Client Experience

Rated 5 out of 5
I contacted Ken at High Tide Engineering to help me out with my project at Lake Nacimiento. He was able to help me navigate the complicated and frustrating process of getting my permit through SLO County. He quickly helped me with required plan check revisions, and identified all the traps and pitfalls the county had laid for me. Unlike most of the other engineers involved in my project, Ken's team was consistently responsive, friendly, and helpful. 10/10, would employ again!
