I have done work with Hunsaker Engineering’s Irvine Office. They are doing quite well right now. Things are slower, but the larger, well-diversified firms are keeping busy. If you friend can make it through the next 2 years without getting laid off, he will be fine. Residential investment with the homebuilders always bottoms out well before the resale residential market. Land planning and engineering are at the leading edge of the land development process, so when there is even a hint of a recovery, this work will pick up.
