ECT

What ECT does

Environmental Consulting & Technology, Inc. (ECT) is a multi-discipline environmental consulting and engineering firm founded in 1988, headquartered in Gainesville, Florida, and structured as a privately held, employee-owned (ESOP) corporation operating across more than 29 US states. The firm delivers nine core service lines: Federal Services (accessed via GSA Schedule Contract 47QRAA21D005G), Transactional Due Diligence, Ecological Services, Cultural Resources Management, Sustainable Planning & Design, Water Resources, Ecosystem Restoration, Remediation & Redevelopment, and Compliance & Sustainability, with additional water infrastructure and site assessment capability. Services are delivered across six market verticals: Power & Energy, Infrastructure, Land Development, Natural Resources, Government & Community, and Industrial.

ECT's underlying technology stack is predominantly human-delivered professional services rather than software; it does not maintain a public API, SDK, or proprietary AI platform, and relies instead on practitioner credentials (CWB® wildlife biologists, RPA cultural resources leads, professional engineers, environmental attorneys) and on an internal SubSpot subcontractor prequalification portal that enables project staffing and partner onboarding across its network. The firm also produces regulatory briefs and an ECT U lecture series that function as client-facing knowledge assets.

ECT monetizes exclusively on a professional-services basis through per-project quotes and long-term consulting engagements, with no disclosed SaaS, subscription, or productized pricing. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct enterprise sales to private clients such as Riverside Energy Group (continuous engagement since 2016 covering due diligence, hydrogeological assessments, pipeline classification, emergency spill response, and decommissioning support), GSA Schedule procurement for federal buyers, and subconsultant arrangements with prime contractors such as Sevenson Environmental Services on EPA Great Lakes remediation projects. Customer mix spans utilities, oil & gas operators, renewable developers, municipal governments, school districts, nonprofits, and private developers.
