The plans were completed and submitted to the city on time, with no holdups. The design was straightforward and aligned perfectly with our scope. Even with limited communication needed, the team was responsive and insightful. I have no concerns moving forward—everything has been smooth.”

Manager, Avison Young, Los Angeles, California, United States

Lam Tea Engineering has been a strong partner on our projects. The design deliverables align well with the initial scope, and overall project management has been excellent. What really stands out is the expertise of the team. On the power upgrades we’re working on, I found Junli to be extremely helpful. Since my team doesn’t have as much technical knowledge in that area, his guidance has been invaluable. The electrical engineering support has been very strong, and it’s made a real difference in the success of the project. I’m very satisfied with the progress so far and would definitely recommend Lam Tea Engineering to others.

It was truly seamless and enjoyable working with Lam Tea Engineering. Our kickoff meeting was incredibly productive, and the AI-generated summary gave me a clear printout of everything discussed. Mallory followed through on every revision and handled a new, highly specialized construction system with ease. Her intuitive communication and technical expertise made the entire process smooth and efficient. I would absolutely recommend Lam Tea Engineering.

Project Manager, Evan Raabe Architecture Studio (ERAS), Southern California

You guys are the best MEP team I get to work with right now—first in line whenever I have a choice. From field surveying to construction documents, every aspect was handled with precision and professionalism. You deliver on time, I get almost no RFIs from the field, and I never have to argue about design intent. I have no complaints.

This was a project no one wanted to touch or troubleshoot—but Bassem stepped in, listened, and delivered. He personally visited our site, took measurements, and created a plan that not only solved our HVAC issue but added redundancy and energy efficiency. Lam Tea Engineering brought professionalism, responsiveness, and real care to a complex technical challenge.

Lam Tea Engineering’s proactive and hands-on approach really stands out. Bassem’s attention to detail and active involvement in site meetings with LA County have been invaluable.

What I appreciate most about Lam Tea Engineering is the close partnership we’ve built over the years. Their team, especially Bassem and Daniel, work as if they’re part of our own—proactive, detail-oriented, and always dependable.

There is no comparison—truly, none. I genuinely and wholeheartedly mean that. You are unparalleled compared to the other people we work with, especially on adaptive projects. We have a great working relationship with you, and we’ve seen it across multiple projects. As an office, we talk closely about all the projects we’re working on and the consultants we collaborate with, and it’s clear—you are the best. We continue recommending you because we know the level of service we’ll receive from you will always be better. Your construction documents are excellent, but what really stands out is Lam Tea’s due diligence on the front end. Getting out to the site, conducting surveys, and identifying issues early is something you do best. Jerry and David clearly know what they’re doing, and they do it exceptionally well.

The Lam Tea team has been very consistent with follow-ups, which has been extremely helpful. We’ve had several projects that were started, put on hold, or even canceled, and their check-ins ensured nothing fell through the cracks. With our busy schedules, it’s reassuring to have their team proactively reach out and keep us on track.
