Company
The engineers and surveyors behind your project. Innovative, responsive, and focused on adding value to your project at every step.
PE — Principal Engineer
The problems developers face today can’t be solved by engineering alone. The good sites are taken. Zoning is tightening. Construction costs are rising while margins compress. Developers need more than a firm that stamps plans — they need a firm that advocates for them.
That’s why we built Samford Group. I’ve always considered myself a developer with civil engineering expertise, and this firm was designed to live in the space between what traditional engineering delivers and what developers actually need. We integrate evolving technology, take nontraditional approaches when they create outsized value, and treat every challenge as an opportunity — not a reason to slow down. Our engineering and surveying teams work under one roof so your project moves as one coordinated effort, not a series of handoffs.
Samford Group exists to streamline creation in the context of land development. We are hungry to make opportunities out of your problems. Let’s get to work.
