Architecture and engineering firm designing institutional and commercial buildings across California
Lionakis is a 201–500-person architecture and engineering practice operating five California offices since 1909, now actively hiring across design and engineering with a 16:8 senior-to-mid ratio — indicating a leadership-heavy org scaling specialized service delivery. The tech stack is entirely traditional CAD/design (Revit, AutoCAD, SketchUp, Bluebeam, Adobe suite, Procore) with no adopting signals, suggesting a practice optimizing existing workflows rather than experimenting with AI or automation.
Notable leadership hires: Regional Office Lead
Lionakis delivers architectural, structural engineering, and interior design services to education, civic, healthcare, and commercial clients. Operating from Sacramento, Irvine, San Diego, Oakland, and San Jose, the firm structures around multi-disciplinary project teams and emphasizes client partnership. Current work spans public safety facilities, courthouses, correctional institutions, and county projects, with active expansion into healthcare and education practices. Pain points center on budget/schedule risk management, construction cost control, scope change handling, and internal data tracking—typical constraints for mid-sized AEC firms managing complex, multi-year institutional projects.
