“A True Visionary”

Saeed Bekam is the President of Gouvis Engineering Consulting Group. Throughout his engineering career, spanning 45 years, he has made his mark in the engineering and consulting fields. In 1975, he came to the United States and graduated in engineering from California State University, Long Beach. Later, he pursued his Master's in Science from the same university.

He's built a brand that stands for quality, reliability, and practicality. He has a penchant for making connections and gaining people's trust. Saeed is a true visionary who, in addition to being a superb listener and problem solver, contributes unique ideas to the Engineering and Consulting business.

Many of the concepts that are presently employed in the construction sector originated from Gouvis Engineering. Saeed always gives extensive accounts and history to the staff and clients, painting a picture of what is achievable if you put your thoughts and effort into work. —providing them with the most inventive and in-depth approaches to meet their goals.

Saeed’s years of experience and competitive spirit help the organization stay ahead in the industry and always look for the most competitive edge, "Thinking outside the box," to help Gouvis thrive above and beyond the competition. Although our philosophy is that the customer is always right, we keep our employees’ integrity intact. Saeed is fair to all, especially our employees and even our competitors. We stand by our principal and keep our promises.

 

Under Saeed’s leadership, the company is continuously exploring and implementing new ideas. They currently have detailed software that keeps track of all the prospective clients, leads, and proposals so they can regularly follow up, cater to their needs, and manage a proficient sales process. Gouvis Engineering has also developed and used technology and programs to help them reduce errors, produce accurate products, provide better and more services to their clients, and replace tedious work with software. In addition, we have been able to deliver great customer service in conjunction with our interdisciplinary engineering service, which is efficient, user-friendly, and constructible for our clients, "the staunch leader explains. We also have created a strong culture around our clients where they are valued, appreciated, and are part of our community/culture. "

Gouvis Engineering is essentially a one-stop-shop where a client can combine four different engineering disciplines, consisting of structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing, under one roof. This has facilitated the clients’ efforts to hire multiple consultants and manage their efforts through the entitlement and permit processes, which can be taxing, stressful, and often not practical.

The company has withstood the test of time by having a 60+ year history of excellence, reliability, and strong relationships."We are continually in contact with our clients and partners, and we are always listening in order to find solutions to their demands that we can incorporate into our services," explains Saeed. We're working on interactive smart construction drawings that are cloud-based, technology-friendly, multicolored for different specialties, and do material takeoffs. This will eventually replace the old, outdated paper copies that are being used in the industry today.

Saeed's excellent leadership has brought together a large group of other top executives and experts. Everyone feels respected, appreciated, and appreciates the relationships and collaborations while contributing to the construction business, which allows families and future generations to own homes. Last but not least, I'd like to pay respect to my collaborators over the last 40 years who have helped me realize my goals, says Saeed. "Nothing can be accomplished, in my opinion, without good, supportive team members in an organization that shares my enthusiasm and vision," adds Saeed.
