About

Sierra Vista Engineering’s (SVE) goal is to improve community well-being through development and engineering projects. While specializing in entitlement management and trails projects, SVE is open to traditional civil engineering developments that prioritize the happiness of the people utilizing the spaces they create. The firm's name, Spanish for "mountain view," is a nod to having most projects located at the base of the Los Padres National Forest or Sierra Nevada. Sierra Vista Park is also a favorite trail network of founder, Ryan Switzer - if he’s not in the office, you can likely find him there on his mountain bike with his family.
