Ghafari Associates is a leading civil engineering firm located in Tampa, FL. We cater to both the public and private sectors. Our most distinguishing characteristic is our criteria for a successful project -
No Ghafari project is considered a success until it demonstrates a positive synergy of form and function, fulfills all industry standards and exceeds client expectations.

We will settle for nothing less.

To ensure this success, we draw on the regional knowledge and specialized experience of our team to provide services throughout the State of Florida. Our core competencies include, but are not limited to, civil engineering, land planning, site development, due diligence services, utility engineering, stormwater management design and permitting, stormwater inspections and structural engineering.  

Ghafari Associates is privileged to employ professionals who must demonstrate two specific characteristics: a highly efficient project management style and a passion for superior client service. On every project, our engineers consistently work as active partners to achieve our clients' goals - from concept, all the way through project planning, design and construction.

Since most of our projects are large in scope, we typically augment the efforts of our core staff with highly qualified and reputable outsources. Over the years, we have developed strategic relationships with both regionally based firms and independent consultants, alike.  These relationships empower us to address every project in the most comprehensive, efficient and effective manner - regardless of scope, scale or specialized discipline.

Whether we are engaged to develop a planned community or engineer a 500-acre community development, the Ghafari staff approach each project with a fresh mindset. This dedication to fresh solutions allows us to provide both cutting-edge and cost-effective solutions for our clients, often with benefits that exceed our clients' expectations or visions.

Our intensive local knowledge, relevant experience and technological commitment ensure that we can consistently meet the specialized needs of each individual client and project - on time and on budget.

Permitting Services

In the field of engineering, a permit is a written authorization to build, install, modify, replace or operate equipment that emits or controls the emission of air pollutants, like oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide, particulate matter, volatile organic compounds, sulfur dioxide or air toxics. Permits ensure that emission controls meet established federal standards for achieving and maintaining air quality.

Permits are a fact of life. But, they don't have to be a headache or impediment to progress.

Navigating the permit process is a specialty at Ghafari Associates.  Our expertise in this area truly benefits each of our clients, and the results speak for themselves - on the bottom line.
