The Principles that Guide All Our Actions.

CONSUMMATE PROFESSIONALISM

We are unwavering in our commitment to the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct. We treat fellow employees, clients, and all others fairly, honestly, and respectfully. We believe that it is our responsibility to contribute to the betterment of our profession and our society, and we encourage and support our employees’ involvement in worthy professional and community activities, particularly those aligned with the performance of our Mission and the realization of our Vision.

TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE

Technical excellence is at the heart of our culture. It underlies the solutions we deliver to our clients and all our other work. Our staff leads the profession in technical capabilities and achievements. We make technical mentoring and knowledge sharing among our highest priorities. We encourage continuing education by sponsoring in-house research, seminars, workshops, and similar knowledge development/sharing efforts. We also support employee participation in outside professional associations and other worthwhile technical development activities.

EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE

It is our goal to deliver exceptional service to every client. The resources of the entire company are available, as needed, for every project. We respond promptly to client requests, honor our commitments, and bill fairly for our services.

SHARED DESTINY

We are an employee-owned company, committed to working safely and to helping one another succeed. We believe that putting the greater good of the company ahead of personal gain ultimately ensures the greatest rewards for each of us. We are “in this together” for the long term and will strive to ensure that the company endures for generations.

FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY

Operating our business in a financially sound manner and returning a fair profit are essential to achieving our other objectives and providing financial rewards for our people. We believe that profit is a natural result when extraordinary people, committed to professionalism and technical excellence, work together to deliver exceptional service.
