CrossRoad Engineers

What CrossRoad Engineers does

CrossRoad Engineers, P.C. is a privately held civil engineering firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in Beech Grove, Indiana, providing transportation and development consulting services to public-sector and private clients across Central Indiana and the broader State of Indiana. Its core service offering spans transportation design (road, bridge, trail, and roundabout design), site development engineering for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional projects, surveying, construction inspection and management, right-of-way engineering and acquisition, municipal engineering support, and utility coordination and capital improvement design. The firm employs approximately 60 team members across leadership, technical staff, and surveying functions, and is notable for its domain specialization in roundabout design — with over 120 roundabouts designed to date, including the first roundabouts in eight Indiana communities — and for being fully certified in INDOT inspection and testing procedures.

The business operates as a professional services consultancy under a professional corporation (P.C.) structure, generating revenue through direct consulting engagements on both locally and federally funded projects. Its primary customer segments are government agencies (municipalities, counties, and INDOT) and private developers, with utility companies as a secondary segment. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales, relying on long-tenured relationship management, repeat business, referrals, and active engagement with Indiana's public-sector procurement and developer communities. The firm has remained independent since founding, with no external institutional investors or private equity ownership; ownership is held internally by principals, and the firm has executed a deliberate multi-year leadership transition as co-founders Chip Charles (retired 2020) and Michael Masterson (retired 2024) handed operational control to long-tenured principals led by President Trent Newport.

Revenue mechanics are project-based professional services fees scoped to project complexity, with ongoing managed-service revenue streams from city engineer engagements, developer plan review, and bond management. The firm is differentiated by its talent tenure (most team members with 10+ year tenure), its comprehensive end-to-end service offering from survey through construction inspection, and its specialized roundabout design practice within the Indiana market.
