Client Testimonials
“As a civil engineer and business owner, I have appreciated working with Bruce for over 15 years. From a civil engineering and land-use planning perspective, Bruce and his staff have consistently provided exceptional survey work to support our projects. I have always been able to depend and rely on Bruce’s extensive knowledge of land-use regulations.”
“High technical skills, a great grasp of project economics, and communicates exceptionally well with the layperson.”
“Bruce is our “go-to” resource for depth of knowledge, expertise, cost-effectiveness, and practical solutions with respect to real property issues. Bruce is an essential part of the team necessary to complete any land-use projects”
“Lisser and Associates was very instrumental in helping our non-profit organization, Skagit Council Housing, acquire additional multi-family zoned property in Mount Vernon to expand our elderly, low-income housing project, Mount Vernon Manor. Also, after the property acquisition, he helped us complete a complex boundary line adjustment in order to comply with the multi-family density requirements of the city. We certainly appreciated Bruce’s professionalism and attention to detail throughout this process as well as his ability to work with a non-profit organization’s board of directors which often does not make decisions in the most timely fashion.”
“I have known Bruce Lisser for over thirty years and worked with him and his team on numerous projects. His level of service and his integrity is unmatched by anyone in the industry. He is a professional that you can count on to get the job done right and on time. Bruce works well with all in the industry. I am always pleased to have him as part of our team. His commitment to the industry and his clients goes beyond the norm.
Bruce brings much more than surveying to a project. He has incredible knowledge of the numerous regulations and pitfalls that plague many projects in today’s complex construction process. His respect by permit authorities as an expert in his field makes a project flow smoothly and avoids the pitfalls that many in the industry face.
Bruce has creative ideas to solve issues critical to a project and offers cost-saving solutions that can shave large sums off of a project’s budget. He works diligently to make sure that all avenues to design criteria are investigated and he does his homework to be sure that his work is flawless.”
