After having completed 400 infrastructure projects for municipalities as a consulting civil engineer, I have noticed that most of my clients have the following three challenges:Challenge #1- Understaffed and overworkedMost municipalities are understaffed and overworked which creates a problem of not having enough time to prioritize their search process for finding funding or solutions to the most urgent projects.Challenge #2 - Lack of Systems and Processes or SOPsMost municipalities complain about not having the resources in place in terms of systems and processes to avoid cost overruns and project delivery delays and unwanted surprises.Challenge #3 – Being Able to Trust Engineering ConsultantsMayors and city officials do not really know how to select a trustworthy and knowledgeable engineering firm. They hope a bidding system will make it work.These three challenges rock the boat of municipalities’ ability to be perceived to be always in control, well organized, and competent.These challenges remove the pleasure of having contributed to the success of the project.Now if you are facing any of these struggles, I have good news, these are entirely avoidable and reversible if you just follow the right process.At Cornerstone Engineering, LLC, we are client obsessed with helping municipalities and public officials succeed by filling in these gaps. Our North Star is our clients. We aim to provide public officials and their staff with some processes, templates and new skills to develop some more efficiencies to be more organized and getting better results.
