How it works

Walk it. Rate it. Plan it.

01 — Walk the site

An engineer surveys every section in person, with photos of each distress.

02 — Rate and map

Each section gets a PASER rating and goes on a condition map you can share.

03 — Plan the work

The right treatment at the right time, with costs year by year.

04 — Present and update

We walk your board or council through it, and update it as work gets done.

Independent recommendations

We don't sell paving, seal coating or crack filling. The plan reflects what the pavement needs, not what a contractor wants to sell.

Surveys year-round, weather permitting

Field surveys are scheduled whenever the pavement is clear of snow and ice. Planning a budget? Reach out early so the plan is ready when you need it.

For partners

Management companies, reserve-study firms and contractors

Need pavement condition data for a reserve study or property condition assessment, or an independent plan to share with an owner? Bring us in as your pavement engineer, with consistent pricing across your portfolio.
