McAdams

McAdams is a civil engineering and design firm with its headquarters on Hillsborough Street in Raleigh. The work covers civil and site design, water resources, transportation, planning and urban design, geomatics and construction administration. It is a multidisciplinary practice, so several of those teams often work on the same project.

The firm opened in 1979, founded by John McAdams, who wanted a company where people could grow. It still runs on that idea, and the stated mission is to bring thoughtfulness to every detail while improving the communities it works in.
