"Foundations to build on..."
Ritter Engineering founder Keith Ritter has been engaged in geotechnical and construction materials engineering in Arizona for over 25 years. We believe that having a long history and experienced staff is just a start.
Working in the industry we recognized a need for a different kind of business model that provides personal attention and responsive geotechnical services to help our clients best achieve their deadlines and goals.
Our motto "Foundations to build on..." is intentionally open ended to inspire and pursue much more than great engineering design. For us, "Foundations to build on..." means building trust, loyalty, service and a strong partnership with those we work with.
"...trust, loyalty, service and partnership."
