We are honored that SANDAG included Paradigm Mechanical Corporation in the success stories from Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Small Business (SB) firms that have worked on the Mid-Coast Trolley project. We appreciate the opportunity to have worked on the trolley expansion project. Check out the article on Paradigm below and click the “Learn More” button on the left to read about all the awesome work that was performed to make the vision a reality.

Paradigm Mechanical Corporation specializes in the design-build of heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning (HVAC) mechanical systems from commercial to government facilities in the Southern California Region. Paradigm is a wholly woman-owned DBE and SB firm and was first connected to the Mid-Coast Trolley Project when they first signed up to become part of the SANDAG Bench Program and received their initial contract in 2017. The Paradigm team is extremely proud to have participated in the largest transportation project to date in the San Diego region, making it the biggest public works project they have worked on since their company’s inception. As a result of their participation, MidCoast allowed Paradigm to not only work outside their comfort zone and face new challenges but also provided an opportunity for company growth. Reflecting on their work and experience, Paradigm would like to encourage other DBE and SB firms to not be intimidated by government contracts and not be afraid to ask for support or resources. Their advice is that “There are many people along the way that are willing to coach and give advice. Take advantage of networking opportunities to encourage your professional growth.”
