One of the ways we achieve a superior service is by communication and coordination. Better said, we specialize in “active” communication and coordination. The role of a design team member is not to wait for someone to ask, but to provide. There are no secrets with 15000 Inc. We will proactively do what is necessary to accurately coordinate and communicate with the other design team members.

Our firm is the product of a merger by Chamberlain/Painter founded in 1965 and FARD Group founded in 1988 by Sean Fard. Presently, Max Saiidnia, P.E., is president of the Company. The Company has grown significantly since inception and currently has teams of professionals in the field of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering working on projects throughout the West Coast.
WORK PHILOSOPHY:
From its inception in 1965, our firm has been guided by the belief that quality engineering requires a continuous commitment to design excellence, technological leadership, responsive service, integrity and professionalism which has been exhibited throughout all of our business activities. Our commitment to this has been paramount in our success in maintaining loyal clients through good and bad times in this often fluctuating industry, and is a testimony to our work philosophy.
TEAM PLAYERS:
As Electrical and Mechanical Design Engineers, we are a part of a larger team in the successful construction and completion of a project. We realize the value of our clients, and convey this through cooperation, understanding, and coordination with all parties involved on every project awarded. We work for numerous architectural firms, construction companies, developers, and we are committed to meeting deadlines and within budget.
EXPERIENCED STAFF:
Experience is essential in doing any kind of work particularly in our profession, and we believe it is essential in performing excellent work. Quality design in our field requires a combination of education, experience, common sense, and focus. We realize the importance of these essential elements and are fortunate to employ professionals with excellent skills, technical knowledge and experience in the field of design and construction. In order to provide the best service to our clients, specialized groups are available for information and support. Principals and project designers have had a minimum of fifteen years experience in their specific field.
LEADERSHIP IN TECHNOLOGY:
Technological leadership comes from a commitment to continuous improvements in methods of performing work, as well as a commitment to on-going education of building technologies and materials. Our staff is proficient in the use of computers as both design and management tools. We use energy conservation and environmental concerns state-of-the-art hardware and software for design, drafting, management and accounting. The construction industry is faced with increasing demand for energy efficiency and environmental practices. Our engineers are continuously trained to incorporate new technologies in these fields in their designs. This includes solar photo voltaic, green building and LEED compliance.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT:
The project manager is the main point of contact with the client and is responsible for selecting a team of design staff with special expertise for each project. The project manager supervises all activities from the initial fact-finding to final phase of construction.
AUTOMATION IN DESIGN AND PRODUCTION:
Since 1989, we began implementing CAD drafting. Currently all our production is in CAD. We use state-of-the-art hardware and software to maximize our productivity. In-house plotters and large size printers contribute to better serve our clients. We use AutoCAD as our main CAD software.

Company Profile:
For 36 years, ZFA Structural Engineers has collaborated with architects and school districts to help build better schools. With an unwavering commitment to excellence, ZFA offers its clients innovative, practical design solutions for their projects. The company has fully integrated offices in Santa Rosa, Sacramento, and San Francisco, with a staff of 35 people, including 13 licensed Structural Engineers and 10 licensed Professional Engineers.
Engineering of Elementary, Middle, and High School facilities has been an integral part of ZFA’s work since inception. The firm’s work on education facilities accounts for over $150M in construction per year. As a result of ZFA’s expertise in public school design, the office of the Division of the State Architect (DSA) has ranked the firm as a structural plan‐check consultant under previous and current contracts.
The design and construction of new school campuses and the retrofit and revitalization of existing school campuses require special skills that ZFA has perfected. ZFA principals commit to each project through completion, engaging in a proactive management approach. Knowing that communication is key, ZFA staff not only discuss details during planning, scheduling, and coordination, but often utilize pre‐design meetings with DSA to establish a design methodology early in the process, helping to preempt end‐of‐design mitigation. ZFA also believes in direct access and observation, coupled with dedicated construction support staff that can perform immediate design modifications often required to meet the rapidly changing demands of construction.
Sustainable design is another important part of ZFA’s philosophy. The firm currently includes 11 LEED™ Accredited Professionals and has successfully used cutting edge building materials and alternative building methods on several projects, including schools conforming to the California High Performance School (CHPS) Best Practices guidelines.
The result is ZFA’s excellent reputation for delivery of on‐time, on‐budget, creative, and well‐organized construction documents that provide a complete scope of work and, consequently, credible construction costs.
