Labib Funk + Associates

What Labib Funk + Associates does

Labib Funk + Associates (LFA) is a privately held consulting engineering firm founded in 2003 and headquartered in the greater Los Angeles area (505 N. Brand Blvd., Glendale, CA, with the firmographic record also citing El Segundo), employing an estimated 11-50 people. The firm delivers four core service disciplines — Structural Engineering, Shoring, Civil Engineering, and EBM — to real estate developers, property owners, government agencies, and non-profit housing developers across Southern California. Its work spans commercial, civic/institutional, sports and entertainment, single-family luxury residential, multifamily/mixed-use, tenant improvement, hospitality, and senior/affordable housing sectors, with a notable specialization in seismic retrofit and adaptive reuse of existing structures.

Technically, LFA is a services organization rather than a product company. Engineering work is executed using industry-standard structural analysis and BIM tools including ETABS, SAFE, SAP, Enercalc, Adapt, AutoCAD, and Revit, complemented by demonstrated expertise in performance-based seismic design (nonlinear response history analysis and viscous damper systems). The firm's reference portfolio includes high-profile projects such as the Intuit Dome arena (LA Clippers), the NFL Media Headquarters West Coast, LAWA's Midfield Satellite Concourse South at LAX, and multiple adaptive-reuse and mass-timber developments.

The business model is project-based professional services, with revenue earned as fees determined per engagement by scope, complexity, and contract terms; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is a B2B enterprise/field-sales motion combining direct client relationships, architect referrals, and competitive RFP/RFQ participation, supported by a five-office Southern California footprint (Glendale, El Segundo, Irvine, Pasadena, San Diego). The firm has no disclosed external funding, parent company, or subsidiaries and appears founder/management-owned.

Broad incumbents

• Arup: Global engineering consultancy with strong West Coast presence and deep structural engineering capabilities across sports, commercial, and cultural projects — competes on marquee work with significant scale advantage.
• Buro Happold: Global engineering consultancy with structural, MEP, and sustainability practices. Competes on complex civic, sports, and cultural projects with an integrated service offering that smaller firms cannot match.
• Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (SGH): National engineering firm with deep structural, building enclosure, and civil engineering capabilities. Competes for complex structural and adaptive reuse projects, particularly in commercial and institutional sectors.
• KPFF Consulting Engineers: Large national structural and civil engineering firm with a strong Los Angeles presence. Competes for similar commercial, civic, and sports-venue work but at significantly greater scale and with broader geographic diversification.

Direct peers

• John A. Martin & Associates: Long-established structural engineering firm headquartered in Los Angeles with deep experience in seismic design, sports venues, healthcare, and commercial projects — the closest direct competitor in the Southern California market and a competitor on Intuit Dome-adjacent marquee work.
• Degenkolb Engineers: West Coast structural engineering firm with deep seismic retrofit, healthcare, and higher-education expertise. Competes for the same complex seismic and adaptive reuse work that defines LFA's premium positioning.
• Walter P Moore: Structural and civil engineering firm with strong sports/entertainment venue portfolio (stadiums, arenas) directly comparable to LFA's Intuit Dome and Lakers Training Facility work.
• Miyamoto International: West-Coast-based structural engineering firm specializing in seismic risk mitigation, earthquake engineering, and disaster response. Directly comparable on seismic retrofit and performance-based design — LFA's strongest technical sub-niche.
• Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates (WJE): National engineering firm specializing in structural investigations, restoration, and adaptive reuse of existing and historic buildings — directly comparable to LFA's seismic retrofit and adaptive reuse practice.

Regional players

• T.Y. Lin International: Infrastructure-focused engineering firm with structural and civil capabilities across the West Coast. Comparable on civil engineering and land development services but more infrastructure/transportation weighted than LFA's building-focused practice.
