What Quattrone & Associates does

Quattrone & Associates, Inc. is a privately held civil engineering, planning, and landscape architecture firm headquartered at 4301 Veronica S Shoemaker Boulevard in Fort Myers, Florida, founded in 2000 when Al Quattrone acquired the predecessor East Bay Group. The firm traces its operational lineage to 1984 through M.W. Morris and Morris-Depew Associates, giving it roughly four decades of continuous presence in the Southwest Florida market. The company is founder-owned, with Al Quattrone as President and Lisa Quattrone managing office and accounting functions; no institutional capital, private equity, or venture backing is evident.

The firm's core offering is end-to-end development consulting: civil engineering, land planning, landscape architecture, permitting, project management, water management, lighting design, and landscaping services, packaged to take land "from an undeveloped opportunity to a well-planned, solidly engineered, successful and profitable commercial, industrial, residential or public sector development." It serves three primary verticals: government and municipal clients (housing authorities, water control districts, school districts, fire departments), commercial and industrial developers (automotive dealers, retail chains, storage operators, marinas), and residential developers (affordable housing, subdivisions). The customer roster spans enterprises (Volvo, Toyota, Frito-Lay, UPS, RaceTrac) alongside SMBs and public-sector anchors.

Quattrone & Associates operates a project-based, quote-priced professional services revenue model with sales driven primarily by reputation and word-of-mouth referrals in the Southwest Florida region. The firm grew from 4 employees at acquisition to 16 by the mid-2000s real estate boom, expanded its service menu during that period, and has since maintained a steady workload through downturns, continuing to add key technical staff. It currently sits in the 11-50 employee band and is actively hiring entry-level engineers and CADD technicians, with Hurricane Ian (September 2022) representing the most significant recent operational disruption to its single Fort Myers headquarters.

Broad incumbents

• Kimley-Horn: One of the largest U.S. private planning and design consulting firms offering civil engineering, landscape architecture, planning, and water resources services. Competes with Quattrone & Associates for mid-market and larger Southwest Florida development work, but operates nationally with thousands of employees.
• Stantec: Global design and engineering consultancy with full-scope civil engineering, landscape architecture, planning, and water management offerings. Competes for the same type of land development and infrastructure engagements in Florida but at a vastly larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• HDR Inc. Large engineering, architecture, planning and environmental services firm. Competes on civil engineering, planning, and landscape architecture engagements for both public and private development clients, though HDR's portfolio is more weighted to transportation, water, and large institutional work.
• Tetra Tech: Engineering and consulting firm with strong water, environmental, and infrastructure practices, including land development planning. Overlaps with Quattrone's water management, civil engineering, and planning services but operates as a much larger, publicly-traded global firm.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm providing planning, engineering, landscape architecture, and project management. Direct overlap on land development, site planning, and water/utility infrastructure, but competes primarily at the upper end of project scale.

One of the closest direct competitors to Quattrone & Associates in the Southwest Florida land development market, with very similar service stack and customer types.
