About Us:

Ramos CS is a California-based Corporation, independently owned and operated. Ramos CS has developed into one of the fastest growing engineering and construction management companies in California. We focus primarily on reaching a niche market that requires focused expertise to manage risk and achieve quality for the most challenging public works projects. The firm provides quality infrastructure consulting services with a particular emphasis on public-related projects that serve the needs of our communities including transportation, local rail transit, rapid transit, heavy rail, transit systems, transportation, ports, airports, and municipal sectors.

Specializing in the core services of engineering and construction management, the Ramos CS philosophy stems from the idea that planning, design, and construction are inseparable and applying a thorough understanding of each is critical to the success of any project.
