Local Knowledge That Saves You Time and Money

Topex is based in Siletz and has been working in Lincoln County for over a decade. That means familiarity with local parcel history, the quirks of coastal property boundaries, agency contacts, and what it actually takes to get a project permitted and built on the Oregon Coast.

When you hire a local firm, you skip the learning curve. Chris already knows the land records, the common easement issues, the drainage challenges of coastal terrain, and the agencies your project will need to work with.

Local, Licensed, and Working Directly With You

Most clients on the Oregon Coast have to wait weeks for a Portland or Salem firm to schedule a site visit. Topex is already here.

1
You Work With the Licensed Engineer, Not a Go-Between

Chris is your point of contact, the person in the field, and the one stamping the plans. No project managers in the middle, no junior surveyors running your boundary.

2
Rare Dual Licensure Plus Water Rights Certification

Active PE, PLS, and CWRE credentials in one person. Very few practitioners hold all three. That combination covers the full range of land and infrastructure projects without referrals.

3
A Decade of Coastal Oregon Experience

Lincoln County terrain, tidal boundaries, coastal hazard setbacks, and rural parcel history require local knowledge. That experience is already built into every Topex project.

Same-Day Communication, Always

Call or email and you hear back the same day. No waiting for a receptionist to route your message. Direct access to the expert on your project.
