History

Cultivating design and engineering expertise since 1979.

McAdams opened its doors on Monday, April 2nd, 1979, at 8:00 am. At 30 years of age, our founder, John McAdams, was the first employee who, since day one, established a vision-focused company with the intent that all future teammates have a successful and thriving career at McAdams.

Today, McAdams is a full-service civil engineering, land planning, landscape architecture, transportation and geomatics firm headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina with offices in Durham, Charlotte and Winston-Salem, North Carolina and Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas.
