Insite

What Insite does

Insite Engineering, Surveying, & Landscape Architecture, P.C. is a privately held professional services firm headquartered at 3 Garrett Place, Carmel, New York, founded in 1989 by Senior Principal Engineer Jeffrey J. Contelmo, PE and Senior Principal Land Surveyor Nicholas G. Chapis, LS. The firm operates as an integrated one-stop shop combining civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture under a single project manager/partner model, with a team of 11-50 employees of which approximately one-third are licensed and certified professionals. The firm is licensed in both New York and Connecticut and serves clients across southeastern New York and western Connecticut, organized around six service verticals: commercial, municipal, mixed-use, institutional, residential, and recreational.

The firm's underlying technology is conventional but modern for the A&E sector, comprising CADD systems, GIS, fully automated survey data collection, robotic total stations, GPS/GNSS receivers, and drone-based photogrammetry for base mapping. Service offerings span site design, development feasibility studies, master planning, utility design, multilayered permitting through local/regional/state agencies, stormwater pollution prevention plan preparation, ALTA/NSPS surveys, topographic mapping, construction layout, subdivision platting, FEMA elevation certificates, expert testimony, and landscape architecture including SEQRA support, green infrastructure, and wetland mitigation. Named project work includes multi-decade engagements with Putnam Hospital Center, Green Chimneys, Peckham Industries, multiple Hudson Valley country clubs, and larger mixed-use developments such as Eastdale Village (400+ apartments, 120,000+ sq ft commercial) and West End Lofts.

The firm generates revenue exclusively through project-based professional services engagements with government and private sector clients, with no standardized pricing tiers or subscription/recurring product revenue. Customer acquisition is driven by professional reputation, portfolio demonstration via its website, and long-tenured relationships rather than formal marketing; projects are delivered directly through a project manager/partner approach without intermediaries. Notable active partnerships include work with the East of Hudson Watershed Corporation on NYSDEC-compliant stormwater retrofits and a federal engagement with the U.S. National Park Service and The Trust for Public Land on a 220-acre Appalachian Trail parcel conveyance.
