Attar Engineering, Inc. is a civil, structural,
and marine engineering firm located in southern coastal Maine. We offer civil, structural and marine
engineering services to municipalities, residential and commercial developers.
The firm was established in 1988 and employs about ten technical staff members.
Our design professionals have total control of their projects from the ground
up and are involved in the fieldwork, design, permitting and construction
phases. At Attar Engineering, Inc., we are dedicated to turning our clients’
dreams into successful developments.
Attar
Engineering, Inc. is based in Eliot, Maine (10 miles from Portsmouth, NH).
The majority of our workload is in York and Cumberland counties in Maine
and Rockingham and Strafford counties in New
Hampshire. We are licensed to practice engineering in
Maine, New Hampshire,

Attar’s president and founder, Kenneth A. Wood, is a licensed professional

Most of
our projects are done entirely in house, from the field to the final plans and
specifications. We start with a native piece of property, conduct all
fieldwork, accomplish preliminary through final designs, obtain all permits and
approvals and often provide construction management services. We also foster
the design team approach on more involved projects in which we coordinate our
efforts with architects, landscape architects, golf architects, design-build
contractors and other design professionals.
