What Rsc Engineering does

RSC Engineering, Inc. is a privately held civil engineering, site planning, and surveying firm headquartered at 1420 Rocky Ridge Drive, Suite 150, in Roseville, California. Founded in 2004 by a team of five principals who had previously worked together, the firm provides integrated professional services to developers, government agencies, architects, and builders across Northern California, including the Bay Area and the greater Sacramento region. Engineers are additionally licensed in Nevada and Ontario, Canada, allowing the firm to deliver services across multiple jurisdictions. RSC holds California Small Business certification (No. 61001), positioning it to compete for public-sector work.

The firm operates three integrated service lines: civil engineering (grading, drainage, utility design, roadways, storm drainage, water and wastewater systems, SWPPP preparation, ADA site upgrades, and construction administration); site planning (conceptual planning, entitlement coordination, due diligence, tentative maps, zone changes, and general plan amendments); and surveying and mapping (boundary and ALTA surveys, construction staking, legal descriptions, subdivision and parcel maps, and topographic surveys). A distinguishing structural capability is the in-house certified planner, which most civil engineering firms lack, enabling RSC to consider zoning, general plan, and boundary constraints alongside engineering design. The project portfolio includes the 133,000 SF UC Davis North Addition Office Building (LEEDv3 Platinum target), the 838,000 SF California Natural Resource Headquarters, the 50-acre SMUD East Campus Operations Center (LEED Platinum certified), and multiple large retail centers ranging from approximately 300,000 to 657,000 SF. The firm uses no proprietary technology platform, has no app, and offers no public-facing API; the underlying delivery workflow is consistent with standard civil engineering practice.

RSC runs a relationship-driven, sales-led go-to-market model in which one of the firm's principals personally oversees each project from inception through completion. Revenue is generated through per-project professional services fees with pricing determined by scope, complexity, and client requirements and not publicly disclosed. Customer acquisition relies primarily on the firm's website, which doubles as a project portfolio showcase; on referrals from prior clients (referenced through posted testimonials); and on community involvement including STEM education support at local schools. The firm is privately held by its five principals with no external institutional investors, no parent company, and no subsidiaries.
