Thank you for your review. LJA Engineering is growing and 2015 was a record year for the company. While we did experience a downturn more than 7 years ago, in 2015 we opened new office locations and are on track to continue growing in the upcoming year. We remain one of Texas’ largest employee-owned civil engineering firms.
