As we reflect on the past year at Sain Associates, I’m filled with pride and gratitude. 2025 has been a year defined by meaningful progress, strong partnerships, and the dedication of an exceptional team. Together, we’ve continued building on our firm’s long-standing commitment to delivering thoughtful, high-quality engineering, planning, and surveying solutions across the communities we serve.
Celebrating Project Successes
This year, our teams tackled a wide range of complex and impactful projects—from advancing transportation improvements that enhance safety and mobility to supporting local governments and private partners with smart, forward-looking planning and design solutions. Each success, large or small, reflects our people’s technical expertise, collaborative mindset, and unwavering focus on doing what’s right for our clients and communities.
Our commitment to excellence was also recognized this year when Sain was ranked number one by the Birmingham Business Journal for having the highest number of locally licensed engineers. This distinction is a meaningful reflection of the depth of talent within our firm and the high professional standards our team brings to every project.
Gratitude for Our Clients and Partners
None of this work would be possible without the trust our clients place in us. Your confidence in our team challenges us to be better, more innovative, and more accountable every day. We value these relationships deeply and look forward to continuing our work together.
Appreciation for Our Team
To our employees: you are the heart of this firm. While I’m incredibly proud of your technical expertise and professional accomplishments, I’m just as grateful for the kind of people you are. Your integrity, teamwork, and willingness to support one another define our culture and make Sain Associates a place where people want to build long-term careers.
Your loyalty to this firm—and to each other—does not go unnoticed. Many of you have grown with Sain Associates over the years, and that continuity strengthens everything we do. Thank you for your dedication, your character, and your commitment to serving our clients and communities with excellence.
Looking Ahead to the New Year
As we look to the year ahead, I’m excited about the opportunities in front of us. We are entering the new year with strong momentum, a talented and growing team, and a continued focus on innovation, client service, and employee development. From embracing new technologies to strengthening our relationships and investing in our people, we are well-positioned for continued success.
Most importantly, we remain committed to our purpose: helping communities grow and thrive through thoughtful engineering and planning solutions. Thank you for being part of the Sain journey. I look forward to what we will accomplish together in the year ahead.
