MSA Consulting

MSA Consulting, Inc. is the premier Planning, Civil Engineering, and Surveying firm in Southern California, with extensive experience in the Coachella Valley - an area that includes nine cities and a large portion of Riverside County. Serving private developers and public agencies since 1976, MSA is a progressive, innovative firm passionate about producing exceptional work while collaborating successfully with clients and other project team members. The firm's dedication to and respect for local communities and the environment are tantamount to its core mission.

MSA offers our clients a full range of environmental services, which are especially important in California's highly complex regulatory environment. Our staff utilizes extensive training, education, and experience to apply a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and solutions unique to the Southern California desert and surrounding communities. MSA provides innovative, proactive, and cost-effective solutions in response to the increasingly multifaceted environmental legislation and challenging compliance issues.

Thanks to our innovative partnership with RGA Landscape Architects, a Design Studio at MSA Consulting, the Valley's premier landscape design firm brings decades of creative design experience to bear on every assignment. Our landscape architecture services cover the life of a development project from initial design to preparation of construction drawings for irrigation and planting. In an age and area emphasizing water conservation, we also successfully respond to established water budgets and meet new Agency water management restrictions.

MSA's professional survey and mapping team represents the most capable and reliable licensed surveyors, field crews, and office technicians you can find for any land development needs. Our investment in the most sophisticated equipment currently available, including the latest in Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and robotics, ensures precision and accuracy that meet or exceed the standards of professional practice on even the most demanding projects. Our field party chiefs, instrument personnel, and NSPS Certified survey technicians have extensive experience providing proactive solutions to intervene with "problem prevention" options by identifying potential issues well in advance.

MSA offers a full complement of professional planning and design services thoroughly attuned to the needs of our clientele in both the private and public sectors. MSA specializes in physical and policy planning, site design, and entitlement oversight. We utilize a proven sensitivity to the economic, political, and environmental realities for a successful land development. Our experience draws from extensive work in private sector land development, including with community builder clients, as well as contract services to municipalities, counties, special districts, and regional councils of government.
