About Us

Site Consulting Engineers, LLC was founded in 2005 by its principal engineer to provide thoughtful, technically sound civil engineering services rooted in experience, judgment, and practical design fundamentals. The firm reflects the belief that successful projects are not created by software alone, but by engineers who understand how sites function, how infrastructure is constructed, and how regulatory decisions affect long-term outcomes. Over the past two decades, the civil engineering profession has undergone a major transformation driven by computer-aided design. While CAD has greatly improved efficiency and visualization, its widespread adoption has also contributed to an over-reliance on production tools at the expense of core engineering principles once developed through hand calculations, field experience, and critical evaluation. The result is too often over-designed, inefficient, or constrained projects that meet minimum approval standards but fail to represent the best technical or economic solution. Site Consulting Engineers was established to counter that trend. The firm applies traditional economies of design—grading efficiency, drainage logic, constructability, and system simplicity—using modern analytical and modeling tools to deliver clear, defensible, and cost-effective solutions. This approach frequently identifies opportunities to reduce unnecessary infrastructure, improve performance, and avoid long-term maintenance or compliance issues, sometimes justifying strategic redesigns even after initial approvals. In addition to private land development work, the principal engineer served in a federal disaster recovery role supporting FEMA Public Assistance programs across multiple states for more than 6-years. This work includes damage assessment, scope and cost development, engineering feasibility review, and interpretation of consensus-based codes and standards. That experience provides a unique perspective on how infrastructure performs under real-world stress, how regulatory decisions are scrutinized after failure, and how resilient, well-reasoned designs can reduce future risk. It further allows SCE to help our clients (or clients consultants) navigate the Public Assistance grant formulation process, project closeout and even FEMA's Appeals and Arbitrations when needed saving them and the government wasted time. Today, Site Consulting Engineers operates as a focused, principal-led practice. Clients work directly with the engineer responsible for analysis, design decisions, and regulatory coordination—ensuring accountability, clarity, and technical depth throughout the life of a project. The firm’s value lies not in volume production, but in experience-driven engineering judgment applied where it matters most.
