What AES Group does
AES Group, Inc. is a privately held, Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Women Owned Small Business (WOSB) engineering and architecture firm headquartered in Parker, Colorado. Founded in 1988 and restructured under its current ownership profile in 2002, the firm provides full multi-discipline AE services — civil, structural, mechanical, electrical/telecom engineering, architecture, interior design, construction management, cost estimating, project management, and energy/sustainability — primarily to federal agencies including the Department of Veterans Affairs, US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), NAVFAC, the National Park Service, the Department of Defense, and the National Cemetery Administration.
The firm operates as a prime contractor on multiple federal IDIQ vehicles, most prominently the GSA Multiple Award Schedule Contract 47QRAA22D00DR (Engineering and Construction Management Services, SIN 541330ENG, valid August 2022 to August 2027), USACE Fort Worth District (with $10M+ in task orders), USACE Middle East District, USACE Louisville District, NAVFAC Pacific, and various VA VISN contracts. Its technology stack is built on industry-standard AE software (AutoCAD, Revit, Civil3D, SKM, Visual Lighting, DrChecks, SpecsIntact, MasterSpec, Submittal Exchange, Primavera, Trane Trace 3D) rather than proprietary platforms. The in-house team of 20–25 is augmented by a deep bench of project employees, with senior project managers representing over 200 years of combined engineering and architecture experience.
AES generates revenue through professional services fees billed under federal contracts — design fees, construction management, and consulting — across hundreds of completed projects since 2002 (over $17M cumulative under GSA, 35 USACE contracts, 18 NAVFAC contracts, 22 NPS contracts, and hundreds of VA hospital projects). GTM motion is enterprise field sales and channel-based teaming on federal IDIQ opportunities, with no commercial or non-federal revenue disclosed. The firm is led by President Deborath Cole (a service-disabled veteran in the U.S. Army Reserves), EVPs Christine Benson and Andrea Keough, VP Jeremy Landrith, and Principal Engineer Cory Long, with Cade Benson serving as Senior Consultant.

AES Group competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- GHD: Global engineering, architecture and environmental consulting firm with a US federal/government practice. Comparable to AES for federal AE services, particularly on federal infrastructure and facilities work.
- TRC Companies: Engineering and consulting firm serving federal, utility, and infrastructure clients with services spanning design, environmental, and construction management. Overlaps with AES on federal facility work and energy/sustainability services.
- Mead & Hunt: Mid-sized engineering and architecture consultancy with established federal facility, aviation, military, and infrastructure practices. Comparable to AES in scale and federal contracting posture.
- Woolpert: Architecture, engineering and geospatial firm with significant federal, defense, and NPS engagements. Comparable to AES in multi-discipline AE delivery and federal set-aside/IDIQ contract pursuit.
- WGI: Multi-discipline engineering, planning, and design firm with federal/public-sector clients. Comparable in size, multi-discipline AE offering, and public-sector contract posture to AES.
- VHB: Mid-sized multi-discipline engineering, planning, and design firm with substantial federal and public-sector work. Comparable to AES in providing integrated AE services across transportation, facilities, and environmental disciplines, though VHB is significantly larger and broader geographically.
- RS&H: Employee-owned architecture, engineering and consulting firm with deep federal aviation, military, and infrastructure practices. Highly comparable to AES for federal facility AE work and competes for similar USACE, NAVFAC, and FAA contracts.
Broad incumbents
- HDR: Large multi-discipline AE firm with extensive federal healthcare, military, and infrastructure practices. A common incumbent on the very USACE, VA, and NAVFAC vehicles where AES competes, often as a prime or competing subconsultant.
- Jacobs: Large-scale professional services firm with deep federal, defense and critical infrastructure practices. Frequently serves as a prime on the same USACE, NAVFAC, and federal AE IDIQ vehicles where AES competes, typically in a much larger role.
- Stantec: Global architecture, engineering and environmental services firm with substantial federal facility, environmental, and infrastructure practices. Operates as a broad incumbent on many of the same federal AE IDIQs AES pursues.
