What Rodriguez Consulting does

Rodriguez Consulting, LLC is a privately held professional engineering and land surveying firm headquartered in the South Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, PA. Founded in 2007/2008, the firm delivers civil engineering design (site design, land development, utilities, stormwater management, construction inspection, entitlements) and geospatial services (land surveying, 3D laser scanning, sUAS/drone mapping, subsurface utility locating, GIS asset inventories, infrastructure mapping) to government/municipal clients and private real estate developers in the Greater Philadelphia and Mid-Atlantic region. The firm's technology stack centers on Faro X330 3D laser scanners, small Unmanned Aerial Systems (drones), robotic total stations, GPS receivers, and GIS databases integrated with client CRM, work order, financial, and SCADA systems for infrastructure asset management.

Rodriguez is a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certified by the City of Philadelphia and a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) certified in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and Washington Metro, with an 8(a) SBA certification effective March 15, 2013. The firm is led by President/CEO Lou Rodriguez, a former GIS program manager for the Philadelphia Water Department, alongside a Chief Administrative Officer (Carol Popwell), a Survey Manager (Dave Spellman), a Manager of Innovation (Matt Sherwood), licensed surveyors, professional engineers, geospatial specialists, and construction inspection staff. The firm maintains a roster of strategic partnerships including Zoho (Business Partner), Impact Services Corporation (Rebuild Philadelphia), Mosaic Development Partners (Philadelphia Navy Yard), and the Greater Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based, quote-based professional services engagements rather than product or SaaS sales, with named anchors including the Philadelphia Water Department, Delaware River Waterfront Corporation, and Impact Services. The firm launched a workforce development sub-brand, Rodriguez University, in 2020 to deliver STEM/STEAM infrastructure career pathways in partnership with nonprofits such as Hopeworks and PowerCorpsPHL. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the firm operates as a founder-owned LLC with no external institutional investors.
