What Thomas & Hutton does

Thomas & Hutton is a privately held professional services firm founded in 1946, headquartered in Savannah, Georgia, specializing in civil engineering, surveying, planning, and landscape architecture. The firm serves municipal and government clients across six southeastern U.S. states — Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and Florida — with project work spanning infrastructure design, water quality assessment, road development, municipal planning, and landscape architecture for public and commercial developments. The company is led by President/CEO Sam McCachern and CFO Thomas Pace, and reports a workforce of 101–250 employees.

The firm's go-to-market is built on direct enterprise engagement with municipal decision-makers, anchored by its participation in the Georgia Municipal Association's 2026 Business Alliance Program, which connects private firms with leaders across Georgia's 536 cities. There are no disclosed proprietary technology products, software platforms, or named sub-brands; the value proposition rests on accumulated technical expertise, multi-state regional coverage, and institutional relationships built over nearly 80 years of continuous operation. Recognition such as the 2026 North Carolina's Best Places to Work award (Best Companies Group) reinforces its employer brand in the regional professional services market.

Thomas & Hutton generates revenue through project-based professional services fees negotiated on a per-engagement basis with municipal and government clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, and the firm has no disclosed recurring SaaS, subscription, or productized offering. With no reported funding rounds, acquisitions, or major corporate structural changes, the company appears to operate as a stable, owner-managed regional consulting practice whose growth is paced by public-sector capital budgets and infrastructure spending cycles in its six-state footprint.
