Civil Engineering Consultants

For over four decades, Civil Engineering Consultants (CEC) has been a trusted leader in shaping the future of Des Moines and Central Iowa. Since our founding in 1969, we have grown into the region’s go-to civil engineering and landscape architecture firm, playing a key role in the area’s transformation into a thriving center of business, innovation, and development.

At CEC, we are deeply rooted in Central Iowa. This is not just our work—it’s our home, and we take immense pride in contributing to its development through thoughtful planning, innovative engineering, and sustainable design.

In 1996, we expanded our services with the introduction of Landscape Architectural Consultants, a division of CEC.
