“As golf course designers, we rely on strong relationships with competent and experienced engineers. For our work at Education City Golf Club in Doha, we were fortunate that Ghafari Associates delivered exactly that - effective engineering solutions in a technically complex environment. Without the dedication of the whole Ghafari team, we could not have delivered such a successful project and we already look forward to working with Ghafari Associates again.”

Samer, I am writing to express my sincere personal appreciation for the hard work you put into negotiating our last-minute settlement with the City of Palmetto this past Friday. Your work clarified the extremely complicated off-site utilities issue and brought much needed impact-fee relief at a time when the project’s feasibility was looking questionable. Your timely intervention resolved a number of serious concerns and made it possible for our HUD closing to go forward, helping to ensure that Holy Cross Manor will become a reality. This effort on your part is just the latest example of the kind of professionalism and willingness to go the extra mile which I have come to expect from your firm. I appreciate the work you do for us and look forward to continuing our excellent business relationship for years to come.

Same, Just a quick note to let you know what a great job you and your staff did on the Cedar Mountain Estates project. Taking over the project after it was sitting in the corner for 6 month and completely re-designing the stormwater system and completing SWFWMD permitting in 3-4 months was very impressive. Also, the preparation of the construction plans were excellent! Which probably made the permitting process that much easier

Samer, I want to thank you for excellent job that you have done on our 171 unit affordable apartment project in Punta Gorda. The project has turned out even better than everyone expected. Considering the high water table and flood zone conditions, the site work has tuned out very well and it all works. We have not had any issues even with the large amount of rain that we have had recently. Your professionalism and timely response have been greatly appreciated. We have finished the project three months ahead of schedule and within our budget.

I really had to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to you and your entire staff for the tremendous work you did on the design of our Oak Bluff North Subdivision. We couldn't be happier. Originally, we had engage another engineering firm to design and permit the project. their cost for developing the infrastructure plans called for additional costs. having worked with Ghafari Associates, prior and knowing their quality of work, we engaged them to review and re-engineer our subdivision. Ghafari Associates created a more efficient and marketable development plan that saved us $180,000 in site work. they engineered a better-quality community and yielded us more marketable homesites. now that is a Win/Win/Win situation. Samer and his team actually listed! They patiently took note to what we wanted then brought us back a solution that not only incorporated our request, but actually improved on it. That is a rare combination. Add that to the wealth of knowledge and experience in the development process. you stand head and shoulders above all the rest. My thanks to Samer and his team! their expertise save us money and created a superior product.

I want to wholeheartedly thank you and let you know how much I appreciate what you did for me. You literally rescued our Cedar Mountain Estates project which had been stalled and caught up in endless issues with the County and Southwest Florida Water Management District. I did not know what we were going to d after our other engineering company left us out in the cold. Just the fact that you could take us from initial submission to final approval in just three months is awesome! The thought of losing a 200-acre subdivision kept me up at night. But, one you came online and got the project actually moving again; I was thrilled. You and your team were diligent, professional and extremely effective in your efforts. If anyone ever wants to know how good you are, just send them to me. I can show them in dollars and “sense.” I will be recommending you services at every opportunity.
