about us

We are a diverse organization that helps you accomplish your design goals through teamwork and communication.

McParlane & Associates, Inc. is headquartered in San Diego, CA and directed by five Principals; Paul McParlane, Douglas Isaaks, Christopher Jackson, Francisco Chaidez, and Javier Ares who all share a common commitment to our core values of service and quality. Since our founding in 1990, we have built a reputation for exceptional, precise service in extremely time sensitive environments. Our success and the desire to serve our clients in Los Angeles and Orange County (OC) led to our OC office expansion managed by Javier Ares.

Our team brings a wealth of skills, values, and expertise to each project with our unique approach that draws on over 30 years of experience. Principal level involvement helps ensure the best-qualified individuals are integrated into the design process ensuring responsive, high-quality engineering.

OUR APPROACH

Each project is overseen by one of our Principals from the initial design phase to project completion. As we enter into design commencement, our goal is to understand the Owner’s requirements and budget constraints to seek out optimum value for both initial and long-term investment. Value, quality, sustainability, functionality, and life expectancy are the key components to determine optimal solutions that will best meet the needs of our clients.

Our proactive approach and hands-on philosophy mean that our most senior engineers are directly involved in all aspects of the project including construction support. We work closely with the architectural team to ensure our designs seamlessly integrate and complement the building architecture. We provide sophisticated and aesthetically pleasing solutions to difficult challenges while maintaining a superior level of flexibility to accommodate potential modifications in the future.
