Company History

The company’s roots date to the 1920s, establishing a foundation of long-standing industry involvement.

Safety, Quality, and Integrity
Safety
Safety begins before mobilization. It is considered during scope review, site planning, access evaluation, sequencing, utility coordination, and daily field activity. Every project has different hazards and operational constraints, so responsible planning must reflect the actual work environment.
Quality
Quality construction depends on more than the final visible result. It is supported by clear requirements, appropriate materials, coordinated trades, attention to details, and orderly documentation. Scheidel’s project approach keeps these fundamentals in view throughout delivery.
Integrity
Owners and project teams need accurate information and direct communication. We believe in identifying concerns early, clarifying responsibilities, and maintaining professional accountability through each stage of the engagement.
Engineering Excellence
Engineering excellence means developing solutions that are technically sound, constructible, maintainable, and aligned with the project’s intended use. Because Scheidel combines engineering and contracting experience, planning remains connected to field conditions and project delivery. That perspective is especially useful for civil infrastructure, utilities, site development, industrial facilities, and water or wastewater systems.
Industries Served
Our services support commercial properties, industrial and manufacturing facilities, municipal infrastructure, public and private utility systems, water infrastructure, wastewater facilities, and other projects requiring civil engineering or general contracting expertise. Each inquiry is evaluated based on scope, location, schedule, technical needs, and delivery requirements.

A Long-Term Perspective on Construction
A company with roots dating back to the 1920s understands that durable results come from sound fundamentals. Technologies, regulations, materials, and delivery methods continue to evolve, but the need for careful planning and responsible construction does not. Scheidel Contracting & Engineering applies that long-term perspective to modern project needs throughout La Mesa, San Diego County, California, and other service locations considered for fit.
