Our Values

deliver excellent client service

We’re only in business because of our clients. Listening, being responsive, and communicating clearly to our clients is our top priority. Delivering on our agreement and meeting our client’s needs rewards trust. As a consultant, building strong trust-based relationships with our clients and others, and maintaining those relationships, is the foundation of our business.

do more, with less

As a small shop, doing more with less is our competitive advantage over larger firms with more cog wheels. We travel light. Our speed, agility, and flexibility allows us to work nimbly for our clients. Our operation is direct, broadly productive, and succinct with very little overhead burden. This translates into cost savings through increased efficiency of our use of resources, doing more with less.

being practical and cost effective

In most cases, there is not an unlimited supply of financial resources and time to deliver the quality end products our clients desire. Sometimes keeping it simple is the way to go. There is a good chance this approach can produce a cost effective and quality end product. Our real world experience will help identify these opportunities quickly. This is especially necessary when our clients have aggressive schedule needs. Why should our clients need to pay us more to overthink a problem if there is a tried and true common sense solution available at good or better value.

embrace change, be creative

Not every problem can be solved simply or is straightforward. We recognize that our clients need ideas and recommendations followed by execution of the plan. To this end, we don’t let the “this is how it has always been done” attitude prevent us from changing our ways when a new path emerges that has merit. Our company flexibility gives us the choice to make changes if we need to. We can do these things quickly and without red tape. Change can give way to creativity, or vice versa. Thinking outside the box in times of needed change is a concept we fully embrace.

conduct our business with integrity

We follow the rules. When we do not know the rules, we find the answers. Ethical conduct is the cornerstone of any business or person. We always strive to do the right thing. We challenge views to ensure the best decisions are made.

maintain superior professional standards

Our business is based on competency in our civil engineering craft and knowledge base. It is essential that we perform our professional work according to not only industry norms, but at the highest level of proficiency.
