Primary Objectives
Polka Engineering strives to provide high quality professional engineering, design and project management services at a reasonable fee. Our goal is to insure that the client receives completed projects that meet or exceed their expectations. Client satisfaction is our top priority.
Most building projects start with a want or a need. That want, then needs to get translated into square feet and three dimensional space. Proper judgment, technical expertise, and creative skill provide the transformation from the practical need to the built form.
Our goal is to provide open-minded, imaginative ideas that best fit within the parameters of the specific needs, desires, schedule, and budget of the project.
A good set of construction drawings is crucial when building any project, while a poor set can lead to errors and delays during construction. Our review processes ensure that our construction drawings are detailed and accurate.

Our experience in the realm of engineering, building design and construction has lead us to several key philosophies regarding the development of plans, specifications and the management of projects, they include:
