Schwebke-Shiskin & Associates

What Schwebke-Shiskin & Associates does

Schwebke-Shiskin & Associates, Inc. (SSA) is a privately held multi-disciplinary professional services firm founded in 1947 and headquartered in Miramar, Florida. The firm delivers three integrated service lines — civil engineering, surveying, and land planning — to government agencies, private developers, and institutional clients throughout South Florida, with selective international project work in the Caribbean and South America. Civil engineering services include paving and grading design, drainage and stormwater management (using ICPR modeling), utility design and coordination, permitting, sustainable/resilient design, LEED certification processing, feasibility studies, and construction administration. Surveying services cover boundary, topographic, bathymetric, ALTA/ACSM, right-of-way mapping, construction layout, and condominium documentation. Land planning services encompass preliminary and final platting, site plan development, land use planning, zoning, easement work, and master planning, with a documented history of 800+ plats across Miami-Dade and Broward counties and 1,000+ plats company-wide.

The firm monetizes through project-based professional services fees tied to scope and complexity, with revenue split across government/public sector clients (counties, FDOT, Army Corps of Engineers, municipalities) and private developers (commercial, residential, mixed-use, and motorsports). Long-tenured relationships — including 20+ years with Homestead Miami Speedway / International Speedway Corporation and repeat work for Miami-Dade County, Miami-Dade College, the City of Miami Lakes, and Virgin MiamiCentral — anchor a horizontal go-to-market built on referrals, competitive bidding, and institutional reputation rather than active digital marketing. The firm is led by Principals Mark S. Johnson, P.L.S. and Hernando J. Navas, P.E., with Vice President Luis F. Leon overseeing engineering staff; the company is family-traceable to founder Harry Schwebke and the Shiskin family who joined in the early 1950s. No private equity, venture capital, or parent company ownership is indicated in the source data.

Direct peers

• Kimley-Horn: One of the largest privately held U.S. civil engineering consultancies; competes head-to-head with SSA in South Florida land development, transportation, and stormwater. Highly comparable service mix and client base, though far larger in scale.
• WGI (Wantman Group, Inc.): Florida-headquartered multi-discipline engineering, surveying, planning, and environmental firm; directly competes with SSA for South Florida municipal and private development work and is among the closest mid-size Florida peers.
• Calvin Giordano & Associates: South Florida-based engineering, surveying, planning, and GIS firm with a similar municipal client mix to SSA, including extensive work for cities and counties in Miami-Dade and Broward.
• Bowman Consulting Group: Mid-size publicly traded engineering and surveying consultancy with a significant Florida footprint; comparable in service offering (civil engineering, surveying, planning) and increasingly competing for the same regional land-development mandates.

Broad incumbents

• Stantec: Global AEC firm with substantial Florida operations offering civil engineering, surveying, and environmental services; competes on larger infrastructure and master-planning projects where SSA also bids.
• NV5 Global: Public technical engineering and consulting firm with infrastructure, surveying, and environmental services overlapping SSA's core offerings; a relevant comparable on size and acquisition-driven growth strategy.
• Tetra Tech: Global consulting and engineering firm with deep water-resources and stormwater expertise—an area of growing relevance for SSA; competes for the same SFWMD and municipal resilience mandates at the larger project scale.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm active across Florida transportation, water, and land-development projects; competes with SSA for marquee public-sector mandates like MiamiCentral and FDOT work.
• Arcadis: Global design and engineering consultancy with a strong water and resilience practice; competes in Florida for the same municipal stormwater and climate-adaptation engagements where SSA has differentiated expertise.

Regional players

• Halff Associates: Texas-headquartered, employee-owned engineering and surveying firm with a strong land-development practice; comparable mid-size professional services model, though primarily competing in Texas and the Sun Belt rather than directly in South Florida.
