What KEITH does

KEITH is a privately held, majority woman-owned trans-disciplinary engineering and design firm headquartered in Pompano Beach, Florida. Founded in 1998 by Dodie Keith-Lazowick (currently Chairman), the firm operates five Florida offices spanning Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach, Miami, Orlando, and Port Saint Lucie. KEITH delivers integrated professional services across five core disciplines — geospatial engineering, civil engineering, transportation engineering, planning and landscape architecture, and program/construction management — organized into six branded practice areas (Access, Campus, Facility, Life, Play, Water) under an "Engineering Inspired Design" methodology.

The firm's technology stack centers on advanced geospatial data capture and 3D modeling: GPS, Terrestrial Mobile LiDAR (capturing over 100,000 points per second), Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones), HyDrone aquatic vessels, 3D laser scanning, BIM, and Ground Penetrating Radar for subsurface utility engineering (SUE). Design is executed in REVIT, AutoCAD Civil 3D, and Navisworks. These capabilities have been deployed on flagship Florida projects including the Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center, Broward County Convention Center Expansion, FLL Terminal 3 Modernization, the $1.05B Brickell City Centre, and 15+ Public Storage facilities totaling 1.2M+ sq ft, plus international work in Turks and Caicos.

KEITH's business model is project-based professional services revenue generated through competitive RFPs and continuing services contracts with government agencies (FDOT, Broward County, multiple municipalities), educational institutions (Nova Southeastern University, Palm Beach State College), healthcare systems (Jackson Health, Memorial Healthcare), and private developers. CTQP-certified inspection staff and M/WBE certifications across multiple Florida jurisdictions (City of Tampa, West Palm Beach, Osceola County, GOAA, CFX) support supplier-diversity scoring on public-sector bids. Pricing is quote-based and project-scoped rather than productized or publicly disclosed.

• Jacobs: Global professional services firm covering transportation, water, environmental, and construction management — overlaps with KEITH's service portfolio and frequently bids on the same FDOT and county pursuits.
• Arcadis: Global design and engineering consultancy with water, mobility, and resilience practices active in Florida — overlaps with KEITH's KEITH Water and KEITH Access practice areas.
• WSP: International engineering and professional services consultancy with a large Florida transportation and property practice, competing for FDOT, county, and airport (e.g., FLL/MIA-adjacent) work.
