What Neglia Engineering Associates does

Neglia Engineering Associates, operating as Neglia Group, is a privately held, family-owned full-service civil engineering and consulting firm headquartered in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, with a second office in Mountainside, NJ. Founded in 1948 as Allen and Neglia and rebranded to Neglia Group in 2021, the firm has grown to 100+ employees under third-generation President Michael J. Neglia and offers eleven integrated service lines: site/civil engineering, municipal and county government services, traffic engineering, water and wastewater utilities, construction management, surveying, 3D laser scanning, GIS and data services (including UAS/drone operations), planning, structural engineering, and landscape architecture.

The firm serves municipal and county government clients across New Jersey — reportedly more than 30 municipalities and several counties including Bergen, Essex, Hudson, and Union — alongside private sector developers. Its technology stack centers on high-definition surveying (3D laser scanning producing 2,000,000 points per second), FAA Part 107-certified drone operations, Esri-based GIS platforms, and in-house hydrologic/hydraulic modeling, all delivered through project-based professional services engagements priced per project via competitive bidding and direct negotiation.

Revenue is generated through professional services contracts including on-call municipal engineering appointments, capital improvement project delivery, grant administration (NJDEP Green Acres, NJDOT Local Aid), and private developer site/civil work. Distribution is entirely direct, with no intermediaries: dedicated client managers and principals maintain municipal relationships, and the firm pursues competitive bids on public works projects. Recent strategic activity includes a 2021 corporate rebrand, service-line expansion into planning and landscape architecture, the 2022 hire of a Director of Planning, and the September 2025 promotion of two principals to Partner — the first expansion of ownership beyond the Neglia family.
