Who We Are

Diversity and Partnerships

Säzän Group is recognized as a self-identified minority-owned company with the City of Seattle, and a self-certified federal small business. Supporting the communities we serve is fundamental to who we are. We are committed to expanding access and opportunity for small and certified businesses by fostering inclusive partnerships, providing mentorship, and creating meaningful roles on our projects. We believe these efforts contribute to lasting, positive change in building a more diverse and collaborative industry.


Building Inclusive Partnerships

Säzän Group is committed to building strong, inclusive partnerships with small and minority-, women-, and veteran-owned businesses. We intentionally seek opportunities to collaborate with diverse firms on our projects—expanding our network, engaging qualified subconsultants, and creating meaningful roles that contribute to shared success. By bringing together a wide range of perspectives and expertise, we strengthen our teams and deliver better outcomes for our clients and communities.

Our support goes beyond project participation. We invest in the long-term success of our partners through mentorship, guidance, and access to resources that help them grow and thrive. From navigating project processes and technical standards to offering marketing support and hosting outreach events, we are committed to helping small businesses build capacity and pursue new opportunities. Together, we are advancing a more equitable, collaborative, and resilient AEC industry.
