We’ve had the opportunity to work with Islander Engineering on a number of projects over the past five years and have found their team to be responsive, practical, and collaborative. As a smaller firm, they bring a hands-on approach to their work and are accessible and engaged throughout the design, approvals, and construction process.

Their team understands the realities of land development and works well with owners, municipalities, consultants, and contractors to help move projects forward and resolve issues as they arise. We value the working relationship we have built with Islander Engineering and appreciate the professionalism and practical perspective they bring to the projects we work on together.

Working with Josh and the team at Islander has been a really positive experience. They are creative thinkers, strong problem solvers, and they genuinely want to help. When something comes up, they do not just identify the issue and hand it back. They get involved, think it through, and work with the team to find a practical way forward.

Josh and his team bring a great attitude to the work. They are responsive, collaborative, easy to deal with, and clearly care about the success of the project.

At the end of the day, they are just good people to work with. I have a lot of respect for the way they approach problems, support the team, and keep things moving.

We’ve had the opportunity to work with Islander and found their team to be professional, capable, and solutions-oriented. Their approach is practical and grounded—they take the time to understand site conditions, operational realities, and project goals, and they respond with clear, thoughtful engineering support.

What stands out most is their willingness to engage collaboratively. Islander communicates well, responds quickly, and works alongside our team to navigate challenges as they arise. This kind of working relationship is critical in projects where timing, regulatory considerations, and on-the-ground realities must all align.

I’ve been working with Josh at Islander since my first projects back in 2018. Josh personally took the time to walk me through everything needed to complete them. He didn’t pawn me off to a colleague or tell me to email in; he talked me through what my excavators and I needed to do, step by step. That personal attention meant a lot to me. When I started building my own townhomes in 2020, I knew Josh and Islander were the only choice to help me navigate civil infrastructure upgrades. Without the Islander team, I wouldn’t be as successful as I am today.
