Contour Environmental, LLC was formed in February 2005 to serve the specialized needs of our real estate, lending, educational, governmental, and residential clients. We offer a diverse range of scientific and engineering expertise. Our priority has always been to build strong lasting relationships with our clients and act as their advocate identifying issues long before they become a costly problem. Our commitment to this principle has helped our clients avoid unnecessary delays with their projects. We have a highly experienced and educated team of professionals. Furthermore, Contour Environmental, LLC has a non-hierarchical organization without multiple layers of management. This unique structure allows us to be very responsive to client requirements and provides us with clear accountability of all key project managers. We only hire the most skilled professionals who have spent their careers in markets we serve.

Our company values are based strictly on mutual trust, honesty, and accountability. Our entrepreneurial and performance-driven attitude makes Contour Environmental, LLC the preferred partner to complete complex projects on time, within budget, and at the highest level of quality. Being true experts in the markets we serve allows us to think outside of the box in order to find the most practical, cost-effective solutions to project challenges.

Contour’s geographic market has primarily been southeastern U.S. states (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, South Carolina, and North Carolina). However, we have also completed several projects in the northeastern U.S. states (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Virginia).
