What Perteet does

Perteet Inc. is an employee-owned infrastructure consulting firm headquartered in Everett, Washington, founded in 1988 by Rich Perteet. The firm delivers professional engineering and planning services across eight integrated service lines — Transportation, Construction Management, Planning, Energy, Broadband, Environmental, Emergency Preparedness, and Site/Utility — to public-sector clients throughout Washington State. Technical capabilities span corridor and multimodal transportation planning, roundabout and ITS design, electric utility engineering from 4kV through 500kV, battery energy storage and microgrid design, 5G and fiber broadband routing, FEMA hazard mitigation planning, NEPA/SEPA environmental documentation, and GIS-based land use and shoreline analysis. The firm maintains six offices across Washington (Everett, Seattle, Snoqualmie, Ellensburg, Wenatchee, Lacey) and has supported over 1,000 local-agency transportation projects and over 50 emergency preparedness engagements with 20+ local governments in the past five years.

The business model is project-based professional services revenue, with engagements secured through competitive RFP/RFQ processes, on-call contracts, and direct solicitation of municipal, county, transit authority, public utility district, and tribal government clients. Pricing is determined by project scope, complexity, and agency budget rather than disclosed unit pricing. Notable outcomes include $11M in value-engineering savings on the Seattle S Lander Street Overpass, $1M under-budget delivery on the Town Center Regional Stormwater Facility, APWA national Project of the Year (2022) for the Fairview Avenue North Bridge Replacement, and Greenroads Silver Certification for the Seaway Transit Center. The firm was acquired by Ardurra Group on September 15, 2025, integrating Perteet into a national infrastructure consulting platform of approximately 2,000 employees while continuing to operate under the Perteet brand in the Pacific Northwest.

Core offering

Perteet provides infrastructure consulting services to government agencies throughout Washington State and the Pacific Northwest. The firm delivers engineering and planning services across eight integrated disciplines: transportation planning and design, construction management, municipal planning, electric utility engineering, broadband/telecommunications, environmental compliance, emergency preparedness, and site/utility design. Services are delivered through project-based engagements covering planning studies through full design and construction management.

Product overview

Perteet is an experienced and award-winning infrastructure consulting firm that operates as a single unified service offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The company provides eight integrated service lines: Transportation Services, Construction Management Services, Planning Services, Energy Services, Broadband Services, Environmental Services, Emergency Preparedness Services, and Site/Utility Services. These services work in coordination to deliver comprehensive infrastructure solutions to public agencies across Washington State and beyond, with the company's core value of 'better communities, by design' guiding an integrated approach to planning, design, and construction management for transportation, utility, environmental, and emergency preparedness projects.
