We build lasting partnerships to revitalize our world.

“From the standpoint of being a single, new construction, residential project I am happy with the services SME has provided. Brendan Lieske especially made time in his schedule to address my project’s unexpected needs as they arose. He also was most personable and easy to communicate with. This attribute made my dealings with SME easier and provided me with a sense of comfort given the issues at hand.”

“Over the years I have come to rely on SME for the services they provide and the solutions they can deliver when challenges arise on our projects. Thank you for your service and partnership.”

“Brian Berger and SME actually did better than expected. I worked in consulting, and I know what a good job looks like for clients, but you rarely find it. Brian and SME did a great job. More than the technical aspects, client relations were great. Brian pretty much handled any issues that came up. He ran options for solutions with recommendations and kept me informed of progress. I could not ask for anything more.”

“Each and every one of the SME persons that came onsite or answered the phone when I called and needed something were the most courteous and professional persons to be working with on a project. This is rare in today’s world, and you can be proud of your recruiting and training for the field personnel and office as well. The value of SME’s services is in the calm assurance that our design professionals feel about SME’s testing, reporting and thoroughness. Thank you and the whole staff.”

“We are very pleased with our relationship with SME. The professionalism and responsiveness by the entire team has been exceptional and a terrific add to our project. They would be the first call for any future work. The team takes time at the front end to understand exactly what we are looking for and tailors their approach to meet those goal.”

“Colin Flaherty and his team are always available for random questions, create useful and well thought out reports, and generally are always able to conform to an ever-changing landscape for our redevelopment efforts. I have worked with SME on several grants/projects over the last 10 years and the process has always been smooth with knowledgeable staff that help guide the project from conception to completion.”

“The owner made the right choice in bringing SME onboard. From our end we’re very pleased with service and timely response to all of our inspection scope. Starting with the Project Management, and the support provided by the office scheduling, it has been a pleasure dealing with SME to date. The field staff has been knowledgeable and responsive.

“SME is a name that we and the Owner can trust to provide quality field tests, reports, and information. The real value is in the quality of the SME personnel who we’ve worked with. Each field tech, scheduler, or PM we encounter has provided excellent customer service. The SME team is always responsive with questions and provide us with the information we need to make quick decisions in the field.”

“ It was great working with SME. Jamie Bates was very prompt in responses and getting the report to me in a timely manner. The scope was exactly what we were needing. The cores showed what is currently out there at the proposed roadway location and also what the existing pavement is at the dead-end road.”

“ Brian Berger has been patient and instructive in the first Brownfield project for Bay County. He offers information readily; he checked in with us early on to make sure we understood the early steps and process…I have looked to him for guidance and scheduling information and found Brian to be very well organized and gives me good notice on when tasks are coming up.”

“Everyone I’ve encountered is the right balance of professional thoroughness and workable. I’ve felt confident with SME testing our soil, reinforcing steel and concrete. SME (Dustin Kern and team) has been excellent with meeting our schedule and providing results of testing. I’m thankful for having such a great team providing testing services on this project. I highly recommend SME.”

“I have always received the most professional services (Jason Schwartzenberger and team) for our line of business from the Plymouth location. I do not recall ever asking for service that wasn’t a typical scope of work for SME. I have had support from SME when a question for the design arose for this project from the engineer as well as some of my questions answered.”

“We had a sub get into a bind on their scope of work to provide an engineered solution for their crane base. Jeremy Wahlstrom came in with limited notice and provided a thoughtful solution – that is not over engineered but tailored to the site need and availability.”

“The team (Nate Sexton and team) got back with me very quickly and got on site promptly to complete their inspection. The provided report was exactly what we needed to set the client’s mind at ease. SME knew exactly what we were looking for. The analysis prevented us from having to do more rework than was necessary, saving the project money.”

“Answers when I call. They show up almost instantly and I am always satisfied with the job well done. Todd Neumann and his team are wonderful! Always pleased with their services and quick responses to our calls and requests.”

“ SME has been a great partner to have on our City of Cleveland Superior Midway Project. While assisting with drilling and testing operations, the team members were very knowledgeable and joined our team conversations ready to contribute to the status of their tasks. Led by Brendan Lieske, he provided clear direction as needed and was very responsive to meet the schedule.”

“ Mary Hoeh does a fantastic job at keeping me informed. Schedule was dictated by EGLE and Mary has kept the project moving forward. Mary is doing a great job of keeping me up to date on the status of the project during the various stages and we are aiming at the EGLE compliance deadline.”

“ We have had numerous needs on the project and SME has been very responsive and provided quality services to keep the project moving forward. SME has provided a tremendous value in the field with the daily observations and inspections.”

“The SME Team Wess Mekhael not only handled the original agreement but quickly responded to additional areas/items. SME stepped into the project quickly and seamlessly.”

“Tom Bane was very thorough, informative, and professional throughout the entire process. He was timely in his responses and really helped the building owners come to a positive, satisfactory resolution on the roof replacement workmanship claim. We will definitely use SME…in the future and would highly recommend their building enclosure expertise and services to others.”

“ Delivery of responses and providing the benefits of an NEZ was on point. Elizabeth’s Masserang energy sparked momentum at the city of Pontiac to establish a NEZ district not only for our project areas, but also in neighborhoods in and around Downtown Pontiac. Look forward to working with Elizabeth and her team on future projects.”

“We called SME at approximately 6:00 pm the night prior with an issue and Keith Toro came to the jobsite the next morning and really bailed us out of a tough situation with a customer.”
