On behalf of Lynch Mykins, I am pleased to express my gratitude and recommend Summit for their CMT & Special Inspections services they provided on the Orange County Northern Campus Expansion project. Lynch Mykins was the Structural Engineer of Record (SER) for 2 of the 3 buildings onsite, and from start to finish, Summit provided timely and effective communication in all aspects of the project, as well as proactive and team oriented solutions when issues arose onsite. This daily approach and their commitment to collaborate to find the best solution that balanced safety, quality, and cost made for a successful project. I highly recommend Summit’s CMT and Special inspections team and look forward to working with them in the future.

It is with much enthusiasm that I am writing to recommend the services of Summit Design and Engineering Services. I have been working with Summit for the past seven years and have always been completely satisfied with their performance. They do an excellent job, are always punctual, and are always very professional. We have hired them to perform professional designs, surveys, construction materials testing, parking lot surveys, structural engineering, and multiple other professional services. They have been very responsive to our requests and needs for each individual project. Their communication and professionalism are outstanding.
Blum/Loving has had the opportunity to work with Summit Design and Engineering Services throughout the construction of the CGP. They have been very helpful during the concrete testing process for all the underground utility, CMU grout and retaining walls installation. Summit has been a great asset to the project by making sure that all material met the spec requirements prior to us using as backfill material. Their concrete breaks are turned around in a timely matter and any issues are pointed out and dealt with immediately. In closing, I feel that Summit over all has been an asset to this project to get us where we are now.
