Company Profile
RB Engineering specializes in civil engineering; land planning; and project management services in support of commercial, industrial, and residential land development. We provide high quality, cost effective, client centered service. Our professional engineering staff brings over 15 years of experience in the design and management of a wide variety of civil engineering projects including streets, water and sewer systems, private utilities, and stormwater management facilities. We skillfully develop projects from initial concept to final construction documents. A key element to our success over the last 12 years is the ability to anticipate and resolve project issues. This ensures that projects meet client needs and are completed on time within budget.

Giving Back
RB Engineering and its employees strongly believe in giving back to the local community. In 2006 we donated all of our consulting fees back to the City of Chehalis for construction of the new "Vernetta Smith Memorial Library" in Chehalis, Washington.
RB Engineering also sponsors an annual engineering scholarship for the local area high school graduating seniors. Since 2001 we have distributed more than $10,000 to future young engineers entering college.
This year RB Engineering along with Bluhm Surveying are donating engineering and surveying services for the future "Almost Home" No Kill Animal Shelter planned for Chehalis, Washington. See www.folcas.org for more information.
