What Pacific Engineering Technologies does

Pacific Engineering Technologies, Inc. is a privately held professional engineering and architectural consulting firm headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Founded in 1960 by Harvey R. Dodd, the firm operates from 4444 Woodland Park Avenue North and currently employs more than 20 professional engineers, architects, designers, draftsmen, technical assistants, and support staff. It is a multi-state licensed practice, with professional engineers registered in California, Idaho, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii, Oregon, Minnesota, Montana, and Texas, alongside architects registered in Washington. Ownership rests with working principals, with no external investors or parent company identified.

The firm delivers services across four integrated practice areas: structural engineering (design, repairs, seismic retrofit, pier and shoreline construction), investigation and repair (damage assessments, building envelope investigation, construction defect investigation, fire damage reconstruction, code and regulation studies, emergency shoring), permitting and project management (permit preparation, bid phase, construction phase support across city, county, and specialized agencies including Shorelines, Fish & Wildlife, Army Corps, HPA, SEPA, and JARPA), and design services (additions, renovations, marine and waterfront engineering, roof systems, guardrails and decks, seismic retrofit). Core technology is industry-standard: AutoCAD for drawings and specifications, complemented by 3D structural engineering analysis software and conventional engineering and architectural design tools. There is no proprietary platform, no API, no mobile application, and no disclosed AI/ML capability.

Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services engagements, fee-for-service and quote-based, with no publicly disclosed customer pricing. Clients include builders, developers, investment groups, insurance companies, homeowners' associations, and individual property owners, with project types spanning residential, commercial, marine/waterfront, historical, and industrial properties. Distribution is direct-to-client, supported by a website case-study portfolio, a LinkedIn presence, and referral relationships with contractors and insurance carriers. Geographic reach is concentrated in Washington, Oregon, California, Alaska, Idaho, Montana, and Hawaii, with projects executed across the broader United States and Canada.
