Small firm advantage Don Cushing Associates is a small civil engineering practice with a specialized niche in general civil engineering, stormwater reports, site development, and wireless site design. This positions them as a flexible partner for architects, developers, and public agencies seeking personalized service and responsive collaboration.

Wireless niche The firm’s telecommunications group with wireless site design experience can be leveraged to target wireless carriers, 911 agencies, and program management firms—a strategic upsell from traditional civil work into telecom infrastructure projects.

Public sector play Experience with stormwater analysis for public agencies suggests a pathway to win municipal projects and approvals, especially where regulatory compliance and coordination with city or county authorities are critical.

Tech-enabled delivery Adoption of modern tools such as PWA, Bootstrap, and jQuery indicates an emphasis on accessible, scalable client portals and responsive deliverables, which can be showcased to buyers who value streamlined project management and digital collaboration.

Growth opportunities With revenue in the lower end of the spectrum and a strong network in civil and telecom domains, there is potential to expand services to mid-size developers and regional governments, leveraging existing client experience to pursue larger, multi-discipline civil engineering programs.
