50 Years Protecting
California's Infrastructure
Since 1976, Butier Engineering has been the trusted construction management partner for public agencies across Southern California.
Built on a Foundation of Trust
For 50 years, Butier Engineering has served as the essential bridge between public infrastructure owners and construction contractors. We were founded on a simple principle: owners deserve a trusted advisor whose sole focus is protecting their investment.
What sets us apart is what we don't do. We don't design. We don't build. We manage—with singular focus and zero conflicts of interest. This clarity of purpose has earned us the trust of special districts, municipalities, and public agencies throughout Southern California.
Today, with 95% of our work in water and wastewater infrastructure, we bring unmatched expertise to every project. From treatment plants to pipelines, reservoirs to pump stations, we've managed billions in critical infrastructure that serves communities across the region.
“We provide construction management exclusively — no design services, no conflicts of interest. Our singular focus gives clients independent expertise and allows us to anticipate challenges early, support informed decision-making, and maintain project momentum across all phases.”
— Mark M. Butier, President/CFO

Faces of Butier
What Our Clients Say
“Butier supplied the team that oversaw the construction management for the Groundwater Replenishment System Final Expansion. This is really a vital role to any project because it's the construction manager that ensures the quality of the project, ensures that the Contractor is building the project according to the specifications, and coordinates with the Contractor on the schedule. Scheduling is an important key to the success of a project. Butier is outstanding at creating a team atmosphere between the Contractor, the CM, and the Owner. They have always done outstanding work for us.”
