MFS Engineers & Surveyors

What MFS Engineers & Surveyors does

MFS Engineers & Surveyors is a private, multidisciplinary engineering and surveying firm founded in 2010 by Michael Mudalel and Paul Shim and headquartered in South Plainfield, New Jersey. The firm provides geotechnical, structural, and site/civil engineering, land surveying, photogrammetry and aerial LiDAR, construction management, and construction inspection services to public and private clients. Customers are concentrated in government (federal, state, local), transportation, industrial and manufacturing, real estate development, education, energy and utility, and waterfront and marine markets across New Jersey, New York, and Puerto Rico. Named clients include the Port Authority of New York/New Jersey, NYCEDC, NYC Parks, NJDOT, NJ Turnpike Authority, Battery Park City Authority, National Park Service, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and Amazon's Delivery Station Program.

MFS operates with an integrated delivery model that combines its seven core service lines under one roof, enabling projects to move from early feasibility and permitting through final construction with internal coordination rather than subcontracted handoffs. The firm's technical platform is built around advanced field instrumentation including multi-frequency ground penetrating radar (400/270/300/800 MHz antennas), aerial LiDAR and photogrammetry, 3D laser scanning with the indoor mapping system (IMMS), and subsurface utility engineering. In October 2021, the firm brought GEOD Corporation (a 1961-heritage surveying operation) in as an affiliate and formally merged it in May 2024 to consolidate land surveying and aerial photogrammetry capabilities. A wholly-owned subsidiary, MFS Construction, provides certified general contracting services, creating vertical integration from design through self-perform construction.

The firm generates revenue on a project-based professional services model, with fees determined by scope and complexity and contracts secured through RFP/RFQ processes, direct client engagement, and prime contractor relationships. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. MFS holds MBE, DBE, SBE, and SDB certifications plus a GSA Schedule contract, providing preferential access to government set-aside procurement. The firm is privately held with no external institutional capital, has grown from a $200 founding investment to roughly $30 million in annual revenue, and operates from four offices with 101-250 employees. It has been recognized through NJBIZ Best Places to Work in New Jersey (2025), ACEC NY Silver Award (2025), the Innovate100 list (2026), and Marquis Who's Who (2026).
