LandSet Engineers

What LandSet Engineers does

LandSet Engineers, Inc. is a privately-held, full-service engineering consulting firm headquartered in Salinas, California, founded in 1998 by current Vice President and Principal Engineer Guy R. Giraudo, P.E., L.S. The firm provides design and consultant services across seven integrated service lines: civil engineering, land surveying, geotechnical/soils engineering, septic design, stormwater pollution prevention (SWPPP), environmental services, and construction testing and inspection. Its service territory is explicitly regional, covering Monterey County, San Benito County, and southern Santa Clara County on California's Central Coast.

The business operates on a project-based professional services model, with work spanning planning, design, and construction-phase support. Technical capabilities rest on a dense credential stack — Licensed Professional Engineers, Licensed Land Surveyor, Certified Engineering Geologist, Qualified SWPPP Developer/Practitioner, Caltrans Certified Tester and Laboratory, ACI and ICC certifications, and QCSI — and an in-house soils and materials testing laboratory. Referenceable work includes the 5,000-seat Rabobank Stadium (Salinas Sports Complex), the Vintage Estates residential subdivision (Soledad), and recurring testing programs for California Water Service Company, Peninsula Petroleum/Shell Gas Stations, Hartnell College, and McDonald's. Customer segments span property developers, municipal/government entities, commercial/industrial property owners, and residential owners, with notable long-tenure enterprise clients.

Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: the firm's primary digital presence is its website (www.landseteng.com), with project acquisition handled via direct phone/email contact and professional referrals. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm has 10-15 staff including licensed engineers, surveyors, certified SWPPP personnel, and field technicians, with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or geographic expansion beyond the original three-county footprint.
