Company History

Nathan & Tiffany founded BEAR Engineering in December 2010 on the North Shore of Oahu as a husband and wife owned and operated Civil Engineering firm. We named the company after our son, 6 months at the time, who we thought looked like a little bear! We decided our focus would be the residential market out of a passion for homes and the enjoyment that comes from working directly with individuals and families.
