We Provide Cost-Effective Engineering Solutions
Your Trusted Partner for Civil and Site Engineering Services
J Beck & Associates was founded in 2013 by Jim Beck, PE, in response to the need in the market for highly responsive and cost-effective civil and site engineering solutions in the DC metropolitan area. Mr. Beck brings over 32 years’ experience as a civil engineer serving the private, municipal, and federal marketplace throughout the region.
Mr. Beck has served as the civil engineer or principal in charge of many significant projects throughout the region and has a thorough understanding of the regulatory processes necessary to move jobs through the approval process in a timely manner.
Our targeted market niche is small to medium-sized projects that larger firms tend to shy away from. Regardless of project size, we take the time to understand the expectations of all parties involved and to deliver our work in a cost-effective and timely fashion. Our hands-on approach produces designs that are pragmatic, constructible, and approvable.
We work with a select group of sub-consultants who share our philosophy. This approach allows us to assemble a team to provide a full range of services including survey, planning, landscape design, as well as geotechnical and environmental services.
Our Services
J Beck & Associates understand the regulatory challenges owners and builders face when navigating the permitting and approval processes necessary for even small jobs. A successful design must not only be technically sound and constructible but must contain all of the information necessary for regulatory approval.
We strive to maintain positive professional relations with local and state regulators in the Northern Virginia area by consistently delivering complete and approvable documents. To that end, we are able to anticipate approval timelines and respond proactively to the regulatory community in order to bring projects to completion.
