LAN Associates, Engineering, Planning, Architecture, Surveying, Inc. (LAN) was founded in 1965 by John A. Lacz, Professional Engineer & Professional Planner.  LAN currently is organized into two major activities - Architecture/Engineering headed by Kenneth H.

Presently, the company has a staff of approximately 70 employees, including licensed architects, licensed professional engineers, licensed professional planners, licensed professional land surveyors, professional geologists, soil scientists, and various engineers-in-training, intern architects, design draftsmen, construction administrators, computer operators, and secretarial and support personnel.  Originally established in Hawthorne, NJ, the company’s main corporate office, officially opened on December 1, 2000, occupies approximately 15,000 square feet at 445 Godwin Avenue, Midland Park, NJ.  LAN also has a branch office Goshen, NY.

As part of the architecture/engineering activities, LAN designs new buildings and innovative renovations and additions for schools, health care, municipalities, government (state), churches, housing, residential and commercial clients.  Being a multi-disciplined firm, we perform work in areas of civil, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and elevator engineering along with general architectural services.

Under the environmental and facilities engineering activities, LAN performs professional services in the areas of environmental, health and safety compliance consulting, site assessments, air and water pollution control, indoor air quality (IAQ), underground and above-ground tanks, asbestos, groundwater monitoring, solid waste management, industrial wastewater, sewer rehabilitation and water supply.  Surveying services include topographical and elevation surveys, industrial/commercial surveys, and boundary surveys.  LAN also performs construction stakeout and subdivisions.

Members of our staff are licensed to practice engineering, architecture, and planning in New Jersey and New York as well as many other states including the District of Columbia.  Though most of our work is within a 200-mile radius of our various offices, we do have active clients in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Maryland, California, Tennessee, and Arizona.  Various staff members belong to a wide range of professional societies relating to disciplines in which the company works including membership in the American Council of Engineering Companies and the American Institute of Architects.
