Consulting
With 35 years of proven experience and reliable operations across four states (including Idaho and surrounding Northwest regions), we deliver expert, integrated civil engineering, project management, and technical consulting solutions tailored for federal agencies, tribal governments, commercial developers, infrastructure projects, and private clients. Rooted in Indigenous principles of sustainable land stewardship and community well-being, we blend deep regional knowledge of Northwest terrain, soils, climate, and regulations with modern engineering practices to provide innovative, compliant, and cost-effective designs that support resilient development, environmental protection, and long-term project success.
Our comprehensive consulting services include:
- Civil Engineering & Site Design — Full-site civil design, grading plans, drainage and stormwater management, erosion/sediment control, utility layout, and infrastructure engineering for roads, parking lots, building pads, and developments—ensuring stable, functional, and regulatory-compliant outcomes.
- Project Planning & Feasibility Studies — Preliminary assessments, alternative analyses, cost estimating, value engineering, and feasibility reports to guide informed decision-making for land development, infrastructure upgrades, or restoration projects.
- Permitting & Regulatory Compliance — Navigating federal (NEPA, ESA, CWA), state, and local permitting processes; preparing environmental assessments, stormwater pollution prevention plans (SWPPPs), and coordinating with agencies like the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, or tribal entities for seamless approvals.
- Construction Management & Oversight — On-site inspection, quality control, progress monitoring, change order management, and contract administration to keep projects on schedule, within budget, and to specification—from pre-construction through closeout.
- Surveying & Mapping Support — Topographic surveys, boundary work, GIS mapping, drone/aerial surveying integration, and as-built documentation to provide accurate data for design and construction phases.
- Environmental & Resource Consulting — Wetland delineations, habitat assessments, cultural resource coordination (in partnership with specialists), and sustainability planning that incorporates traditional ecological knowledge for balanced, culturally respectful outcomes.
- Specialized Infrastructure Support — Engineering for forestry access roads, wildfire mitigation features, water/wastewater systems, trails/parks, and multi-use land projects—complementing our in-house excavation, paving, forestry, landscaping, demolition, and land management capabilities for turnkey delivery.
Partnering with us leverages our Native American-owned status for exclusive federal advantages: streamlined sole-source contracting (often with unlimited ceilings for DoD or $25M+ for civilian agencies under SBA 8(a) for qualifying entities), non-protestable awards for faster mobilization, and the 5% cash rebate incentive for prime contractors through the Department of Defense Indian Incentive Program—enhancing your margins while meeting socioeconomic, diversity, small business, and environmental justice goals.
With a strong emphasis on Indigenous values of responsible stewardship, a proven safety and compliance record, and regional expertise in Northwest challenges, we create jobs in Native communities, advance tribal sovereignty, and deliver reliable, high-impact engineering and consulting services that build enduring infrastructure and foster collaborative, community-centered success.
